R34 Gt+T Mark Ii

[sk8seddon]

hi guys im neil and this is the story of my 2nd r34 skyline that i plan to build as a track car. how i got it.Standard (no rego or wof, gtr rims, Cwest front kit, manual conversion) full kit. (stolen from a friend adrians r34) the begining of the turbo conversion (fmic, 3inch exhaust, rb25det turbo, link g4) conversion finished dynoed at 180kw (scraficing a diff to the drift gods on the dyno)

[sk8seddon]

next i had it certed, needed to tie engine loom back from rubbing on steering rack, wheel alignment and replace leaky adjustys.

the wide body kit. after seeing adrians r34 with it on i had to put the guards on mine too (with ducktape 1st)

then rivited (drift spec with crome rivits)

with pant thanks craig.(with carbon wing)

THIS IS WHERE IT WAS AT WHEN IT WAS STOLEN!

i have since gotten the shell back with a rb20de in it with my turbo etc bolted to it,painted matt black

and everything done to a prity poor standard or not finished at all.

NOW THE STORY CONTINUES...

[sk8seddon]

before

after i got it back

the car was a mess so i pulled the rb20de+t out and degressed the engine bay.

the engine after i pulled it out, sold engine for 250 and turbo for 250 yay.

the new engine, rb25de neo was a good engine last time around but this time with a much bigger turbo.

and if 370cc injectors are to small then some 800cc denso injectors might work.

starting the rebuild from the ground up i might aswell start at the back. (old sunframe)

new wc34 stagea subframe (25mm wider both sides)

have adjustable arms to go in too but will snap a pic when its all back together.

Oh shit. Poor thing got molested good to see you got it back and you're carrying on with the build mate, good stuff!

Oh shit. Poor thing got molested good to see you got it back and you're carrying on with the build mate, good stuff!

+1 well done and staying motivated! Will check back for updates

[sk8seddon]

does anyone know what the rubber mounted weights are on the ends of the subframe?

they just bolted on to the stagea subframe but i thing they may get in the way of bolting in the r34

my factory subframe didnt have these (photos in previous post)

todays effort before it got tooo cold outside.

gloss black with chrome arms. (not bad)

I didnt paint diff or axles as i might go with a 5x1 diff and axles.

it goes in tomorrow.

Those weights shouldn't get in the way, some Skylines have them too though I have no idea what they're for.

[sk8seddon]

thanks mate i had a look under the car and was plenty of room for the weight things.

got it in and all hooked up. or asleast as far as i could, then went to help a mate gib stop his sleepout, well just watched as he worked.

next is the front subframe!

[Miguelone]

Fast says they're "Damper assembly, dynamic rear suspension" I guess maybe they weight the corners of the subframe and stop it shifting on its mounts as much when hard cornering?

[sk8seddon]

took the front subframe apart this weekend been looking at ways to get more lock but for skylines it really comes down to knuckles and steering rack spacers.

i was going to move the steering rack forward on the subframe but been told its not really needed as the binding that is created from xtra steering lock is only an issue with silivas

and now i have a spare set of knuckles to play with and big brakes that come with em tee hehe

these will help with ajustability and they came with the set i got for rear.

i will be ditching the abs now tho because these new hubs dont have abs sensor... oh well.

[sk8seddon]

well the subframe is back and its done well and reinforced to heck. dont know if its gona help or not but mite as well do it since the engine is out

now to paint it and put it together with my painted arms and tomlin knuckles te hehe

should be off axle stands saturday after craigs dyno runs....

[sk8seddon]

more goodies yay tomlin modifyed drift knuckles

the tomlin knuckles next to the factory r33 knuckles that came with the big brakes.

now to put it all together

[sk8seddon]

argh my back hard day driving forklift yesterday twisted my back.

harder day working on my car

got the subframe back in mm fits like a glove. and the steering coloum has plenty of length left for the spline to hold onto.

steering rack spacers in and loctie in place.

tomlin knuckles in place and adjustable caster arms in.

tomorrow brakes and time to roll it out of the garage and clean the garage floor.

the cr@p that falls out of these cars is amazing.
