Once again correct me if I am wrong,

32 and 33 GTR have the same boxes the only difference being push or pull.

Early 32 GTR Push

Late 32 GTR and all 33 GTR Pull

Thanks for the info mate much appreciated :)

This is defiantly a big learning experience

Yes both the 32 and 33 have the separate ignitor in the rb26 and have 5spd gearboxes

But on the actual harness the 32 has a grey plug where it connects into the car and the 33 has a black plug (which are also different shapes)

Update time

Engine is together

86mm Ross pistons mated up with Eagle rodss and ACL race bearings

ARP head studs and and main studs hold everything together

I have pictures on another phone of the build I will post them up sometime soon

The -5 turbos, and manifolds were all port matched and mounted with Tomei style high flow dump pipes and HKS waste gate actuators

Fitted up the Greddy manifold never actually realized how big it was compared to the stock one

Fitted a HKS fuel rail with 1200cc Deutchworks injectors

Was a bitch to fit engine but we got it done

Fuel system is done

Running a big surge tank roughly 8L

Twin 044 pumps rubber mounted into a Aeroflow Y block, 2x one way check valves

Teflon braided fuel line is used for the supply and return lines

E85 rated hose is used in the fuel tank and to the supply to surge

Half way down the car is a 200 micron cleanable E85 fuel filter

And I'm running a Tomei fuel regulator

They look like Racing Gear JTC coilovers.

Does it ride real stiff?

Havent driven the car yet lol

Are they any good besides the ride?

I have a mate that may be interested in swapping them out for a Tein kit as he tracks the car move than he street drives

The next issue was the drivers side piping from the body to the Greddy manifold

The manifold inlet was around 100mm (4inch) with the hard piping kit it then reduced to 80mm outside diameter. The internal diameter of the cast hard pipe was 75mm (3inch) so my thoughts are with such a large step down that could be a point of restriction

So I called my good mate Nick who owns The Exhaust Center Midvale to see what he could do

Nick has done countless jobs for me from full custom exhausts to tow points, fire extinguisher mounts the list goes on definitely a great fabricator.

Here is what he had to work with

Nick spoke to me about it and said there was no way we could run 4inch from the intercooler but he thought with some minor body mods he could get a 3.5inch pipe to work and delete the lower silicone joiner this should reduce the amount of boost pipes blowing off

The result

I am really happy with

Imo it looks alot cleaner than the hard pipe kit and not as drastic angle changes

Not far until start up
Just small jobs to finish up
Its been a long time since I have done any soldering and wiring repairs on a car. I was lucky enough that the last 2 ex girlfriends were fully qualified auto sparkies hahahahaha :devil:
Anyway started fitting new plugs for injectors soon realized why I should have stuck it out with the ex...... :domokun:

I'm shit at soldering hahahahaha :rofl2:

Anyway with the help of my main man Peter Gray we got the plugs soldered taped and in place

I dropped in the coolant over flow bottle, windscreen washer and oil catch can assembly, fitted the radiator that Peter had already wired and mounted a craid davies thermo fan. Finally hooked up the catch can just need the Vipec ECU wired in and we are good for start up

One thing to note,

The 3.5" pipe that goes through the body, you need to put some rubber moulding type stuff around it otherwise it will wear through!

Happened on my mates s15 :S.

Yeah Nick said that but I'm gonna wait until the car is running and on the dyno to check

He said it may require more clearencing on the lip he rolled

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
