New to here and have bean reading allot of you project build ups and thought I would start my own.

I used to be a Commodore fan having owned a few modified ones in my time. When it came to getting a new car my girl-fend played a big part turning me to the dark side lol.

I have owned this car since the start of the year. Bought it with the rb26dett already in it.

The car came with some goodies all ready installed:

Apexi power fc

Z32 afm's

Gready turbos

Forged bottom end

Tein suspension

R32 GTR seats

Vertex body kit

At the time I brought it it was only making 260rwkw because the guy I had brought it from had it de-tuned from 360rwkw. He said that it had too much power for him....... :unsure:

I didn't get to drive it home at that time I had lost my licence for 6 months and was going to get my licence back the following month so it was sort of a present to me. My girlfriend got the pleasure of driving it home with me riding shot gun. What a great ride home that was had a smile from ear to ear.

One week before I was meant to get my licence back I got a summons to go back to lose it again for 12 months. This pissed me off at the start but I know I have to pay the consequences for what I did. So now I had a good car but no licence again what to do. First thing I thought about doing was to sell it then the better got to me and I decided to just keep it because I owed no money on it and just modified it some more.

That brings to me where I am now, so I have started stripping down the car to start work on it .1 is because it was rushed to be put together and 2, just cos I can.

Things that I want to accomplish are:

Detailed engine bay which include polishing most engine parts, Flatten firewall, smooth wheel arches ect

Fix dented roof ( Someone decided that it was a good idea to put the bonnet onto it)

Install some type of wide body onto it (not sure which one yet)

New Interia.

Full body respray

That's enough talking for now Ill let the pic tell the rest. Only got pic of how it sits now will post up how I got it later.

Pics to be uploaded tomorrow when the internet connection plays ball.

Comments and suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks Mark

p.s.

I am dyslexic, please excuse any spelling or grammar errors....

Nice work man. This is exactly what I wanted to do 3 years ago but after looking for a decent 32 with a 25 or 26 already fitted I ended up buying a GTR. Still would've loved to do this widebody conversion. Good luck I'll be keeping an eye on this thread. :yes:

Yes I have cut all the rust out on both sides. Pasenger side was so much werse than what was showen. Looks like there was some panals replaced once and thay decided to put dubble sided tape between the two panals. That was one of the rasons why I decided to do the wide body and also just becouse I think the kit looks hot.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
