This is my finished (exterior) wise 1990 Skyline gts-t sedan . I'm super stoked on how it came out. Couldn't decide if I wanted to clip the zipties for "crashing" a hotrod show n shine... They are cut now. The wings are one off pieces I made since I couldn't find something I could buy that was this idea took as much material money plus so much time ahha.

The first fiberglassing me and a friend did deleting the extension on the end of the sideskirt.

Relocated the powersteering pump to get out of my air filters way and relocated my oil dipstick too.

Get the exhaust as hung as I could. Two mufflers inline so its decently quite till the screamer pipe.

Love to see a video of this beauty in action. The obvious question, why the KA?

When I was first into this car I was a big weight reduction nazi. Now I couldn't care less, but originally that was a factor. The rb was pissing me off and I was given two good complete ka24de with trannies. It's a displacement upgrade, while removing two cylinders and turbo kits are cheap. Working on the engine is so easy so much room. Since having it a slew of benefits have shown themselves. But really I just like the ka24det, it's a beast and torquey just a 10psi. I could talk about how its cheaper hp especially after parting out the rb. BUT thats not really true for me anymore because I've built it how I wanted to and plan on getting very stupid when I do a rebuild. 2.6L fully counterweighted crank is more than people sell running rb20det up here lol. But its what I want to do and I love how it already is. Wouldn't change anything. I definitely welcome the question though and feel free to ask anything about the ka as it's not what one would normally look like, plus you guys don't have them down there eh?

I have enough go pro to make a new little video soon here but here is a couple clips of it turboed

and NA last year, clutch kicks all day

like wise,

is it you and your brothers that have all the sedans?

thanks dude :)

Eric and Ryan are actual brothers, not me. We've been bros since high school though!

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
