Hixi's R33 Drift/track Project

[hixi126]

Hi everyone thought I'd wright up my project 33

It's only going to be used for drift and track

So far The mods are

Engine:

Gt35/40 .63

6boost

50mm pro gate

Greddy plenum (original)

750cc injectors

Vh45 tb

Hybrid fmic

Alloy radiator

Microtech lt12s

Spitfire coilpacks

Suspention:

Tein ha coilovers

Adjustable

rear lower arms,

front lower arms,

Camber arms,

Rear toe arms

Hicas lock bar

And now I've just touched up the body and put a new front bar on

It's got a mixed matched bodykit but looks ok still

My plans are now to flare out the rear guards to suit some 17x10 +15 d1r's as I've got them on the front with wide guards and I think it will make the whole car look sexy

Then in near future il start looking for ideas on rollcages I'm pretty set on trackart cages ATM

Then build a rb27 or 3025

Few pics so far

[hixi126]

Forgot to add that I fitted some rb26 covers that will hopefully let it breath a little better

Thinking about ideas on a return to sump catch can but where to put it and how there built in a way that they don't contaminate

I'm still unsure about

[On Edge]

Nice what power u making

[hixi126]

No idea Doesn't have any gauges so I'm only guessing the boost

The setup used to make 280 on 15psi with a 82 housing

I'm only wanting 300 safely unill the engines built

Thinking if using an exhaust cam

On the inlet and see if that makes a difference for now , and il just give it a quick dyno run to make sure everything's running well

[hixi126]

Got progress done this weekend

Got the surge tank and Bosch 044 installed

Had the LSD diff shimmed upped to locked

And got the exhaust how I want it , stainless dump

And screamer and then mild to a megaflow cannon

[BOZ22N]

What front lower arms do you have fitted?

[hixi126]

Unsure of the brand as I bought them

Off another sau member months ago they look identical to driftworks ones

But blue

[BOZ22N]

Got pictures of them fitted?

[hixi126]

Il take sum when I get all my camber adjusted

It's all roughly stock at the moment

[Nick033]

Hi mate,

can i ask what front guards you have there, and where you got them?

thanks

[hixi126]

I'm unsure what brand they are I baught them off abe2 who is a well known sau member and good bloke I might add

All I know is they used to be orange and there wide haha I can find out if u like though

No more work on the old 33 today as I was busy doing other bits and pieces just gave it a good degrease and wash

And and and ... I picked up a rb30 engine today so now I can spend my Nights researching rb25/30 builds oh the joy!

[Nick033]

if you wouldn't mind that would be great thanks

[arrydjay]

Sounds good mate, but your gonna find that diff pretty shit for drifting...,

I shimmed mine up till it almost couldn't fit back in the housing, was mad for a couple of weeks, but after that it just opened up again.

They might last longer on the street, but on the track they die pretty quick.

At the moment mines got a weldy in it to get me out of trouble until I can get my 2way sorted, and it is heaps better than shimming it... Just weld that sukka.

[hixi126]

Wel see how it goes with the diff hopefully it will last a little bit as I want to

Focus on other bits

As for the guards il send Abe a pm for you

It absolutely pissed down with rain yesterday so I thought what a great day to pull down some old motors and get the base parts I wanted for my engine, now I just have to source the rest of the parts that il need (I've been told spool do a kit that's pretty well the best value for money)

If any of u guys know any other places that are cheap let me know

Rb25 head

Rb30 block

[Nick033]

cheers mate

rb2530 for the win

[hixi126]

Oh decisions decisions I've changed plans already going to do a rb28 as I've read rb30s don't like reving unless you get a billet crank

[XRATED]

That's BS.... Save yourself a HEAP of money and build the 30. Honestly you'll need the extra grunt in that boat.

You have to buy a billet crank to go rb28 anyway????? If your going that far buy the rb32 kit form Nitto.

Just keep it simple.... so when it goes bang, you won't feel so bad.

Leave the head alone, throw a set of rods and pistons at a 30 block, get a decent oil pump and sump.

[hixi126]

It's doing my head In the moment I've seen ones last and I've seen ones give

So much grief

What's a rb315

[hixi126]

Are they a reliable setup

[gtsttrk]

Hey mate are your guards genuine D-Max ones?
