R33gtr Drag Car

[Ryan1200]

Hey guys,

Thought it was time to share the progress from the last year of building a bare 33GTR shell into a drag car.

DTP motorsport has done all the car repairs and fabrication work. U can find more pics on there Facebook page of the build.

The Engine is by JHH racing and is Rb30-3.2L, Precision 8685, Hypertune, RIPS 4WD glide, Motec ect ect

I have a ton of pics so ill keep them coming as i can.

Started out in pretty average condition unfortunately but we got it straightened out.

Trust Drag cooler purchased from NXTIME.

Very minimal cutting required to the bar as we got the 165mm thick cooler right back.

Converting to manually operated windows. Mixture of Daihatsu applause and gtr mechs did the job.

Peterson 2.5 gallon tank fitted.

Custom fuel tank in progress

Parachute anchor point.

Glass installed

Seat bracket for the kirky race seats we got powder coated black.

RIPS NZ transfercase pump setup on custom bracket

Early model Rb20 converted for dry sump setup.

Brackets about to get sent off for coating.

Motec Can pad and bracket.

Installing the stretch carpet

Laying down carbon fibre matt ready for the hardener to be applied for the interior panels.

Oil and fuel pump mount in progress.

New pillow ball bushes installed

ARP extended bolts pressed in place.

Rear cradle was strengthened powder coated and installed with Gktech adjustable arms top and bottom

The brains of the outfit getting mounted.

The box on the right side is for power management to control solenoids, fans, pumps, lights ect.

Complete RIPS AWD 2SPD setup arrived.

Manifold underway.

These turbosmart gates have sensors mounted in the top hats so there movements can be logged.

Decided to keep it GT42 frame size if i ever wanted to downsize in turbocharger i could so i went for a Precision 8685 1.28.

Removed the standard GT42 type compressor outlet flange and replaced it with a vibrant 3.5"clamp.

They don't look like steel seats to me!...???

[Ryan1200]

I don't know the exact specifics of the materail used for the seats mike but it's a form of bronze that works well with ethanol fuels.

Sick build!

I think Mike is confused as you posted a picture of the valves and valve guides, then mention valve seats. ( which were fitted to head on next photo)

Really looking forward to seeing this one!
