Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

LOLOLOLOLOL damn no Samsonas!

Finally made a bit of time to work on the car today. Only a small job but it's something ticked off (hopefully....).  I may still have to modify it which is the disadvantage of not doing it while the motor is in the engine bay. Lots easier to work on however! 

My TIG welds are a bit iffy, can tell I haven't done much welding over the last 12 months. Relatively happy with how it turned out, I just hope it works once I plonk it in the car!

Engine is off the engine stand and onto my k-frame trolley. Works a treat!  So easy to move it around the shed. Once I finish what needs to be done to the gearbox I can bolt it to the engine and finish my little trailing jack dolley that supports the end of the gearbox and helps get the angles right for reinstallation.

Yeah its purdy. Bloody New Zealanders know how to make shit (as do plenty of Aussies).  NZ plays a very big part in my motor for no deliberate reason- sump, inlet manifold,  exhaust manifold, rocker cover fittings, plus some other little bits.

Turbo oil drain fits around the engine mount which is sweet!  Was a touch worried my measurements may be off but all good.

Do like that turbo drain, will not catch on fire

Unless my shoddy TIGs leak and rain fire…

The flex pipe section is from Aeroflow, the stainless is just 19mm (3/4”) stainless, 2 AN10 stainless weld on fittings welded to each end of the stainless tube, 45 degree swivel fitting onto the block adapter and then an Aeroflow bolt on fitting to the turbo plus associated AN fittings to join it all together!  So in other words it’s a handful of random bits and pieces with a bit of welding, bending and head scratching to make it all come together!

I’ll be firing up the welder I like that better than the braided steel drain line. Not to mention I’m only 10an a little small for turbo drain.

Sweet, good to hear!

As much as we all love to hang shit on the Kiwis I do love them! Some amazing fabricators and tradespeople over there and God do they love thrashing cars!

I've travelled to NZ itself multiple times and travelled with a few Kiwis overseas and had a ball with them. They're similar to Aussies but wierder! 😂😂

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

And they're good at limiter bashing.

 

Americans would cry over this:

Mate, that is coming up a treat, very clean. 
what gearbox did you end up going with? You were looking a gearset options weren’t you?

Cheers mate. Unfortunately its a long time between treats...

Ended up sticking with the Speedtek gearset despite much (understandable) pressurenot to. Interesting to note that despite all the negativity around them, they really seem to be kicking goals at the moment. They're pumping out some fairly diverse products now.
