Yeah so... I don't quite own a skyline but the Nissan I own shares a lot of R33 GTR parts.

It's a 1988 Z31 300zx wide body

Converted to a VH45DE infinity V8

GT35 xr6 turbo

Link standalone

R33 GTR brakes

GTR 5 speed

N200 long nose 3.7 LSD diff

GTR bucket seats

Tube & fin IC

Runs on 6 pound of boost and creates approx 420rhp and the car only weighs around 1100kg

It's a pretty hairy ride.

Plans - Motor

Moving up to 550cc E85 compatible injectors

Custom fuel tank & app e85 compatable pump

Increasing the spark (havnt settled on how yet)

Custom log manifold

Possibly twin turboing...

Other loose ends

Move the fuse box and relays into the cabin

Shave the engine bay

Look into running 355/332 brake upgrade and bias valve

Pics to come

welcome to the forum mate, keen to see some pics and more info on the car

as mick said 555cc will be on the low side for corn fuel! better of going 1000cc straight out and u never have to worry. Saying that on 420hp already you could easily throw another 10psi into that motor and make plenty on pump gas as it is

Sounds like an awesome build. What are your plans with the car? Track or street?

As everyone else has said, got straight to 1000cc injectors. 550's will be too small if you plan to take it further.

Hurry up with the pics!

Cheers for the comments.

Car will be used mainly for track. I'd like to stick to pump but I'm worried about pinging and it's comp being 10.1:1 blowing a ring. I havnt been able to find someone or a build with a vh45 going more than 10-12psi so that's why I was leaning to e85.

And yeah wot doesn't Take long before I'm at the servo again lol

The 550cc's are enough for 600, currently I'm on 380's an only 91% duty cycle and without sequential injection (I think that's the right term...)

I simply can't fit 1000's in there... Clearance is an issue to the inlet manifold.

If I do go TT ill be making a ffim where I'll have all the room in the world but for now I'll max out what's there.

I'll see how it holds up on 10-12psi on 100 ron, then look into e85.

600-650 is the plan, anything more simply wont get to the ground.

Also looking into 18x10 18x11.5 rims.

Thanks guys. I'll try uploading a pic of it on boost.

It does sound nice!

Thanks Luke GTR, I don't know how that didn't come up when I searched it... Even on nico forum there isn't any details. Anyway I'll be buying them, now I have to find a set of better coil packs.

Then I should be able to use what I have to easily 5-550rhp :D

Um yes lol

Starter motor relocated to the other side and bell housing welded back up, adapter plate made, custom shifter, ditched the transfer case and made new mounts.

I can't take and not taking credit for the build, my mate built the car and I bought it off him.

First ever car I've bought not built... But it's been done extremely well.

Anyone know of a better coil pack that fits a 45?

And also will there be another bbk group buy???

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
