Hey Guys and Gals.

Hows it going.

Im Tyler.

17yrs old. Yes still a p plater.

I have a 1994 R33 gtst. Love it and guard it with my life haha.

Yes im only a p plater but my dad and I have an attitude where stuff can sit around and be built into something special when im allowed to drive it.

We bought it about 6months ago and the engine blew up on us. So its in getting a forged engine and turbo upgrade ecu etc etc.

Been in the shop for about 2months. Going to be used as a weekender or fun car and occasionally taken to the track so I can give it a hard time.

Instead of blowing tonnes of cash on the car why not save up and buy a house and move out? Sorry for the sensible suggestion.....

Why are you going for forged pistons? Have you seen how much power stock pistons can handle?

My dad and I already have money for a house. We are just waiting till the right time and place comes along.

We only paid $3,500 for it. We knew the engine was gone.

It was running 25+psi we knew that was gone.

Its at the shop in Blacktown Nsw Meer Motorsport.

Mate this is my first post I hardly know how to use this whole site thing yet....

Don't stress about it. People on here get nervous about others doing the wrong thing by the licencing and road laws when it comes to Skylines. So maybe choose words carefully with that in mind.

Build threads are kept here.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
