Hi everyone

Since i have have posted most of projects on here, its time to post another. Over the last 6 months I have managed to sell my other cars the R33 GTR is gone to fellow SAU member Spenda and the 350Z i sold to a local young fella. Now that i am debut free and have a even better paying job and we also have a drift track up here in Nth QLD now,i have decided to build a drift car which what i have always wanted, the R32 GTR is now pretty much complete we just take it out every now and then and try improve our times.

I picked up a early model 91 180SX which just had the basic bolts on's or so i thought, too my surprise it has a fully forged engine :). Now I don't usually mess around with my cars so this one will be no different. I want the car to look good whilst have a bulletproof engine/drivetrain. The car at the moment is nearly fully stripped and is ready to be stitch welded and just have to get a hold of rollcage and weld that in.

Here's a list of parts that i currently have and are on order:

Drivetrain:

-Z32 Gearbox

-Tomei Trax 2way LSD

where's teh supra build you were talking about?

This is my spare time piece and quiet project away from everyone else just me when i'm bored lol. The Supra is still on going waiting on a couple of things but is about 70% finished.

The engine will look pretty sexual when she's done, i am spraying it all Flat Black all over e.g all pumps, alternator, block, head, sump etc. I am gonna paint the Cam Cover Crackle Black and i will leave the plenum, turbo, intercooler, pulleys etc all polished alloy. Colour theme for car and engine bay is White, black and silver, i would like it to look as good or if not better than the R32 engine bay.

I want to look something like this in the end:

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
