Hi all, just aquired a r33 skyline and I'm after some more info on it, old owner is very hard to get ahold of, if anyone on here knows the car and could give me any info on it, it would be much appreciated.

Car has rb30 bottom end with rb25det head, making 470 rwhp, would really like to know what's been done to internals.

Possibly nothing done to the internals on the block, RB30 blocks are good for 600hp on factory internals. Just depends on who is doing the work. The most common RB30 conversion is done with a S2 R33 head. You'll probably have a decent fuel pump, ecu and some cam work for 470hp and the engine builder may have done their own rod prep as well.

Thanks good to know, has vipec ecu, has big fuel pump, 1000cc injectors, t04z Garrett turbo, greddy intake, 6boost manifold, tial waste gate, greddy fmic and other bits and pieces, just trying to upload pics.

Hey mate, yeah that's the one, that's awesome to know, i would like to talk with him if that's possible to find out exactly whats been done, or could you possibly get a list of whats been done? I'm currently getting the car tuned, so any info I could give my tuner would be very helpful. Thanks

The 33 had stock rods/pistons with 25 head. And had acl race bearings and arp head studs with a metal head gasket. Bolt ons was 6 boost 44 mm turbo smart gate with a t04z unsure of rear housing. has billet oil gear, Also had injector dynamic 1000cc injectors. And hks twin plate. 440 hp on safe tune

thats what i can tell u mate

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
