Here is 400 Carb CHEV R33 Skyline by Brother is building.

Update : 23/2/05

Outside : The car has now been repainted. Its hot pink in direct sunlight and a purple in shade. House of Colour paint was used so it was hard to find a painter with enough skill as it is really hard to paint with.

Engine : The engine is still being rebuilt hopfully it will be done before the car is a antique ehehehe :wassup:

Interior : It now has a rollcage and white interior. I will try to get pics of the SAAS seats and interior on the weekend

Be a slow to get going car...

WRX's and normal R33's would drill this into the ground.

Why would you assume that? If its a stock 205hp crate motor, then yeh she'd be a bit of a pig, but there are plenty of 350s throwing out some good numbers.... my boss has an ex HDT Monaro with a 327 with powerglide, has about 380hp and the thing is easy to launch and damn quick, will put my car to shame :D

Does anyone else agree that this is somewhat of a "opposite" situation to putting an RB26DETT into a VL? ...hehehe, not saying that vee-bloody-eight is any match for a RB26 though!

lbfalcon: please tell us you took out an RB20E to put that V8 in...

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
