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.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
