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

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
