Gday,

Have owned this car for around 6 months now, as im starting to have more time im now working on it so thought i would start a thread.

A few details on the car:

1989 GTS-T type M

RB25 and gearbox from a R33 installed by Nismo performance Melbourne

Blitz Front mount intercooler

Unknown bigger turbo

Unknown bigger injectors

GTR drivers seat

Unknown heavy clutch

BC coil overs front and rear

Other upgraded suspension components

Z32 brakes front and rear (the 30mm aluminium type)

GTR front

Correct type-M kit minus front

The plan with this car is to turn it into a drift/track car that i can use in multiple events at my leisure. Has some hail damage on the roof and bonnet so will more than likely wrap those black.

To do list as follows:

Complete front facing plenum install

If the injectors flow to 700 stick them back in after a service, it not buy new ones

New plugs

Check that it has a new N1 pump in it (as was told it did)

Check timing belt

Move battery to boot

Adjust existing intercooler for front facing plenum

Check all suspension components

Remove Hi-cas

Remove interior and put in fixed back seat

New oils

Drop off to JEM for computer install and tune

Alignment

Enjoy!

Big list but do-able. Will be taking my time and working on it when i can. Will have it done within the year even if i have to take time off work to finish it!

Now some pics,

As i bought it:

Looks good mate. They look like Nismo injectors, prettyhuh sure standards are purple. I bought a R32 with rb25 from Melbourne a while ago that I think was done by Nismo (or Nispro?) Performance and it didn't have a mod plate. Vic roads had the rb25 engine number listed, so they either didn't know any better or didn't care

No engineer certificate, however just like you Bushy the RB25 engine number is listed on the rego papers! Didnt think cars from Vic needed a mod plate!

Thinking they might be Nismo injectors. Early results from the injector flow test/ flush/ service was 600mil over the minute with gummed up, bad condition injectors. Great news there, seems like they might be the 740mil Nismo items! Will get the results next week on the correct flow.

Thanks mate, my thoughts too.

Purchased a new metal manifold gasket, rocker cover gasket, will get some replacement hoses and a fuel filter while im at it!

Started research on spark plugs at the moment, trying to figure out the best balance of cost v replacement time for a track car. Also thinking along the same lines for oil.

Picked up the injectors today, ended up flowing to 800, well 790mil! They have been flowed, still not sure what brand they are however they have the flow, probably more, than i need so theres some money saved!

Could be Deatschwerks injectors, they make a 750cc side feed with purple cap, either way it doesn't really matter ha.

On the battery, I put mine on passenger side simply so fuel pump wiring wouldn't get in the way. It means the positive cable will need to be sightly longer, but that can be neatly cable tied to the rear strut brace.

haha no probs, had a few parts rock up today so hopfully will have a bit of time to work on the car and get the plenum on. Have a mate down at the Matsuri this weekend, very jealous and more fuel for me to get the car done!

  • 2 weeks later...

Thanks mate, if only i had more time!

Not too fussed on power to be honest. I should be able to ring out 250/300 or so but not too sure on how these are for power (have been v8s up until now and still have one in the shed!)

As long as its fast enough to get me sideways, around cones and up hills quickly haha

Will be an all out track car, no rego, no interior and forever the money pit.

Should have the plenum on by the end of the weekend too, will post up how i go!

Weekend update.

Ended up buying this:

20140517_173055.jpg

So started on that whilst i have the plenum off. Need to buy another two right angle fittings, filter stud adapter, oil pressure sender to get that done. Once ive done that, the plenum is ready to go on.

Ended up taking off the intercooler piping, turns out to be Blitz piping to match the intercooler so will either adapt that or sell it off. Feel like ive taken a few steps back as i wanted the plenum on this weekend but will keep at it. Think its a good idea to have an oil cooler on this motor as it will see some high rev use!!

Can anyone help out with the ID of these parts and turbo. Have no idea what it is, looks small and chinese haha

Any idea where these should go? They wernt hooked up at all

20140518_145620.jpg

Confirmed the Z32 AFM too

20140518_145235.jpg

So this is how the bay now looks, much more to do, so little time......

The first pic looks like some kind of boost controller (could be wrong though).

Those lines are for the carbon canister (the black cylinder thing) one goes to the inlet manifold and one to the fuel tank breather, its for emissions so just get rid of it if its going to be a track car

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
