Another job done, used the rear r33 tailshart and shortened it 45mm shorter than the r32 tailshaft and cleaned and regreased the cv joints.

Found the r32 cv has a rubber seal at the back and the r33 doesn't

Mate, your project is off its head!!! I love it!

Funny, a few years ago I bought a R32 GTR rear end to graft into my LX hatchback and everyone told me I was a fool to consider the project! I still have the rear end and the jig that I made to move the project forward and I have a few spare resto hatchbacks in my shed... maybe one day!

Inspiring stuff mate. Keep up the great work and keep the inspiration coming.

WOW,

so glad i found this thread,

have you spoken to an Engineer about getting it registered?

i have a 71 LC GTR, and started putting a 3l with 26 head & single turbo in it a few years ago (on hold for now), i bought the 32 front cut, and always pondered about using the 26 sump and making a AWD torry (GTR into GTR) , but my skills are nothing in comparison.

    • Took a little trip  went to nismo hoping the get my fuel tank hoses and unfortunately they told me they didn’t have stock luckily I was able to go to a Nissan parts store and they were able to order them in for me  then can home and cleaned the tank with some degreaser and fitted the new hoses before putting it back in the car 
    • 100% I’ll hack into the 33. Strap a turbo onto the RB25DE and/or put the 25 head on a 30 block. 33 passed in cos the reserve was too high. I’ll try lowballing it again and negotiate. Aim is to have it landed and on the road for under 15k, then spend the same amount on top in mods.
    • It's generally best practise to run 1x run without VCT enabled, then 1x run enabled till redline. Overlay the two torque graphs and you'll find the desired RPM to turn off VCT. Sometimes, it might be even worthwhile turning off VCT earlier control torque/cylinder pressure and using VCT purely to spool the turbo.
    • They sell them in Malaysia for about $4
    • First time I ever have issues with Amazon, but my wife often tells me to keep an eye out for fakes. It finally got me. I wrapped up the conversation with Gates. The gentlemen I was talking to seemed to hate his job but the response time on their technical support is outstanding. He stated that the hose is marked with some variation of "SAE J30R10" but that if you only purchase a 1 foot length like I did, it is possible to get a cut between markings and have a blank hose. To no ones surprise, he stated the swelling and "gummyness" isn't normal and to replace/buy from somewhere else (He mentioned NAPA). I'll toss a small end of the new one in gas for a few days before pulling the hanger out again, just to be safe.  Hose should arrive Monday. For those running multiple pump in tank hangers, you know the joys of getting them out and back in. I'm surprised I haven't destroyed my level float yet.  Lastly once I wrap all of this up, I'm planning on hitting the dyno again in 2 weeks while I'm on vacation. I realized recently that my VCT is set to turn off at 5000RPM. I'm surprised it wasn't increased while I was on the dyno last. I'm expecting I can increase it to ~6500RPM, if not more. Should hopefully get another 15-20kw out of it. I also want him to revisit my knock thresholds. I'm occasionally getting false knock around 3000rpm.
