Ben, if it's just a case of editting the title etc I can do that, pm me the details, otherwise the easiest will be for you to copy into a new thread and make the changes

Cheers i'll just start a new thread in the Motorsport build section will be easier :)

there are always cheap shells rolling around...I'd talk to Brad or Fatz in the first instance, they both keep their ears close to the ground. An excellent 33 gtr roller with lots of good stuff was just sold cheap....but that doesn't really help you.

that was probably the one i was looking at..

I have a 32R at work at the moment which is being parted out and the owner does want to sell the shell.

It's a touch rough around the edges and has a 4130 drag type cage in it. Could be cut out and Redone easily enough.

i have a r32 gtr sitting here doing nothing too but i really want to build that as a street car.

i liked that r33 rolling shell because it had a cams approved roll cage and it had been compiled and previous registered with the cage in nsw and it looked really clean.

+ i have a r33 gtr donor car i could use for parts.

but i'll keep your car in my mind thanks.

I think more threads like the dry sump one would be beneficial to create conversation and information.

Threads would have to be specifically Motorsport orientated.

Kinda like the Bruce ducting thread and the cooling thread that are going at the moment in other sections

Where are these threads now as they are the exact sort if things that are motorsport orientated that we could all benefit from.

I've always thought your better off buying a clean road car and building a race car.

Road cars cost as much to build and they are worth nothing to buy already done.

I wouldn't buy someone else's race car unless I planned to strip it and rebuild it anyways. I see way to much patch up repair work to keep them running during the year.

They are all trashed, it just depends how well its been tarted up as to how good it looks.

I'd have no hesitation to buy that car if I wanted to build a track R33.

It's raw so you know what your starting with as opposed to a tidied up nugget, the engine needs to come out anyways for a sump etc so check it out internally.

80% of the interior is going in the bin.

The other caged 33 that was for sale was a bargain. Few and far between though.

tried that, no dice.

after a think about it i'm thinking i might buy something like a r32 gtst or a silvia and do one or two years worth of track days and learn how to drive and maintain a race car.

while i'm doing that i'll take what i've learnt and build my r32 gtr over time, i think that's the best way to do it (for me anyway).

now to find a r32 gtst that hasn't been tarted up with the help of ebay..

Good move having all the ms builds back in here!

Duncan when you get a moment photos are broken last page of my 32 build, and halfway in to first page of 34 build

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • 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 🍻
