Skyline Heart, S Chasis Shell,

Hey SAU Members,

 

Long time lurker first time poster. I've wanted an import for as long as I can remember and am finally in a point in life where I can build a car without cutting corners.

I have previously owned an R33 that made 320RWKW, but it was built on a budget and just wasn't a car that I was proud of. Sure it was fun, but you pop the bonnet and it just had Chinese copy stuff in there, wasn't neat, wasn't tidy.

I work in the industry now and we build big powered cars every day of the week.. just have to take a look in the workshop and there is a 800hp maloo and two 450awhp wrx's in the build process..

About my build

Goal... 400RWKW S13 with creature comforts like Aircon, Stereo, Decent suspension.. basically a sunday cruiser with a bit of go about it. Would like to be able to drive it to power cruise, have fun and drive it home.

Engine:

Started out life as an RB25DET. It currently sits in about a million pieces (pictures to come).

  • CP RB25DET Neo Pistons 86.5m
  • Haven't ordered rods yet.. open to suggestions, but most likely going to go with Oliver or CP rods. STD Stroke.
  • ARP Head Stud Kit
  • HKS Head Gasket
  • RB25 Neo head (I'm still trying to get a hold of one, if anyone has one for sale or knows of one please drop me a PM)
  • Link Fury ECU that I'm wiring in. It's so difficult to find a decent RB loom and I'm wanting to run LS coils anyway.
  • LS Ignition Setup mounted in a secret location ;)
  • Bosch 1650CC Injectors.
  • Twin Walbro 265LPH E85 Pumps
  • PLAZMAMAN Intake Plenum
  • 6 boobs manifold
  • Borg Warner EFR7163 Twin Scroll T4 Turbo
  • RB25det gearbox
  • r200 diff with 5 stud rear conversion
  • Custom NPC Clutch

 

For those of you interested I have a pretty decent audio setup that I had in a Volkswagen that I owned... I'm also planning on running a windows tablet and making a custom centre for it that will be base for all of my music and be hooked up to the link to act as gauges rather than having gauges mounted on the dash..

  • Hybrid Audio Legatia Carbon 6'' mids
  • Hybrid Auidio L1 Pro Tweeters
  • Mosconi AS200.4 Analog Amp
  • Mosconi AS200.2 Aanalog Amp
  • Mosconi 6to8 Digital Sound Processor

 

So this is my build thread, I'll try update it as I make progress. The attached picture is how my project is starting out life. Lots of hours and fun ahead.. dare say lots of box's of beers haha.

 

Thanks for reading

So today's project was a simple one. Get the tank out so I can have it rust treated and prepared for ethanol fuels. I also took all the hard fuel lines off the chassis rail in preperation to run new feed and return lines into the engine bay :)

I've also attached a picture of the pallet that has my engine and gearbox. Wasn't joking when I said it's in a million pieces lol. 

This s chassis has already had an Rb20 in it which makes my job easier when it comes to putting this back in the car

I'm currently adding ac back in my sil80 with a rb25 use an early model triton condenser and a 14inch spal on the front and 12 inch on the back. You will never have cooling issues even in summer on track. 

400kw will be fun mines a handful with 350kw

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
