Hey guys,

So I've been building my r33 for over a yr now and finally starting to get somewhere because I've had some set back's,

Ill re update this tonight when I get home on my pc and upload some photos and build specs.

Don't hate on my to much :)

Cheers james

Acquired some brand new vskf's from jdm convept in burning black, Sizes are 18x10-12 A disk front & 18x11-5 O disk rear.

Also have some Brand new wilwood 6 spot front with a 333mm rotor, got these in a group buy on SAU over a yr ago, still need to purchase some rears

Just bought a pair of Velo podium's the other day off SAU, thinking about making up some custom floor mounts out of RHS to get the seat lower to the floor, i always just find the r33 seating position to high and my head is too close to the roof with my helmet on.

Also have a Nardi 350mm suede wheel with a works bell boss kit & works bell quick release kit, bit tight to get out other wise.

Bought a pair of Work equips in 18x11-3 just for thrashers, prefer to drive on genuine wheels (got over imitations) so always got my eyes open on cheap skidders.

Decided to rip out the stock fuel setup whilst i was at it and do it right the 1st time around: 60Lt fuel cell, Twin bosch 044 pumps, 750hp carter lift pump, 2.5Lt surge tank, earls fittings, an8 hardline throughout the entire car. Once at engine bay ill be using Teflon braided line for use of e85, twin entry Fuel rail, injector dynamics 1000cc injectors, fuel pressure reg.

Currently fabbing up the new front strut towers, still have a fair bit to go until finished, but aiming for it to be rego'd.

Yer I ran a s14 front sub frame and made up some engine mounts to suit, not to much f*kin round

Soooo last weekend my friend Luke and I started with the fabrication of the new rear half of the strut towers, we are trying to keep as much of the old tower as possible to keep strong. Once we finish with the rear of the towers we will also be tubbing the front to give space for more lock.

So this was the first stage of fabrication on the right tower, still needs more bracing throughout and needs a top plate welded on, but you can get an idea where abouts the coilover will be mounted in the back right hand corner.

It will be fitted with brand new driftworks cs2 coilovers all round and awaiting gktech's brand new designed knuckles to arrive with super steering arms attached.

Please keep the comments coming guys.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
