Just admit it, you`re there for the monkeys.

Theres some BIG THINGS planned for the wine red R32... it'll be ready by February and I'll post up some pics from December through till then.

RB25DET conversion

HKS 3037 turbine

stainless high mount ex manifold

Hotbitz Coilovers

GReddy intake manifold (or surge tank in Japanese ;) )

19x8.5 and 9.5 dished alloy wheels

Vertex side skirts and rear bumper modified

Stainless cat-back exhaust (yet to decide maker)

Candy apple red paint

Big ass vented bonnet

etc...

The S13 will get the donor RB20DET... woohoo!!! The wine red R32's spirit will live on in the S13. The S13 will get:

CLASSIFIED INFORMATION

haha... I'll just post up before and after pics of the S13... wait and see :P

Uganda, it's a country in Eastern Africa, west of Kenya. I heard Rezz was there as their import scene is pretty much untapped atm. It's a big opportunity to cash in before all the major players get there.

and rezz, i beleive it was shan, the original MONKEY f**kER!!!

I thought they have a never ending civil war over there in africa but then i guess things are getting better.

yeah they have had their problems in the past but their GTR tuning scene is really starting to take off.

Just a smallish update, here's a pic of the Skyline today with Vertex rear bumper and sideskirts, modified front bumper for big intercooler 'mouth', Hotbitz coilovers (not adjusted for correct height yet), and 19x9.5 +20 offset Starcorp Impul deep dish wheels with 235/35-19 tires for that stretched look. The fron wheels have 15mm spacers on and even then the wheel spokes just *barely* miss the calipers by a millimeter or two. 10mm spacers will go on the back for... eeerm... "effect".

As it is, we've had one bloke come in - with the car outside TKO Tinting (926 Albany Highway East Victoria Park - PLUG!!! :() for all of 3 hours - saying that he's gonna buy the exact same wheels... the cars not even finished yet :lol:

It's not everyday that you see 9.5" wheels with 15mm spacers on the front of a GTS-t Type M, but I guess 5 years of Japanese tuning styles being rammed down my throat it kinda influences you. In the next few weeks the Type M will get heaps of negative camber, a generous 40mm to 50mm slamming, a full respray and PLENTY of underbonnet mods. Will post up more as it happens.

My old :blink: ride:

Thanks Dino! Coming from you mate thats a huge compliment :blink: especially as the car looks like a prop from Mad Max 3... To be honest, I NEVER even thought the R32 would get this far... and the S13 Silvia will be an even bigger tranformation. But I'm not gonna post up anything about that yet... :(

Looks like a very good start!

You need to show these Aussies how to do offset J-style!!!

I lowered my car more and put on some bigger spacers!

But still it is not enough!!!!

Did you see that HPI v10 has the video we took at Central Circuit!

It will be nice when I get paid for it... ;)

Anyway, it is starting to snow! I think avoiding a Japanese winter

was very good idea on your part!

I can't wait to see what madness is in store for the S13! B)

Some more pics of the R32:

The rear track will be widened by 10mm or more to be even with the front, we don't wanna do that until she's ready to be painted (with the rear guards rolled and slightly flared).

Regardless what anyone says :), the front wheels are perfectly offset outwards :P

The enlarged front 'mouth' gives the whole R32 'face' a real 'Whaleshark-like' eerm... 'expression'... must hard being an art critic :D Fibervision here in Perth have made a custom surround to go around the intercooler mouth to cover up the gaps and what have you. It's still at Fibervision getting cleaned up.

The rear bumper will be modified to feature a proper diffuser a la SuperGT. Of course all this work will be color coded in deep Mitsubishi 380 'Molten' redish-gold, with super gloss black wheels, mirrors, diffuser, front splitters etc.

This is the engine finally coming out of the S13:

Heres 'Banga' (local Perth Cefiro drifter boy) surveying the up until now GHEY engine bay. The old CA18DE was in *very* good condition wear-wise, but was suffering problems with ignition modules and A/F meters... CA's usually have this problem as now they're geting into the 'ancient' category.

Undoing the driveshaft.

Watching Banga ever so carefully remove the engine and gearbox with a forklift was awesome. At first I thought they were gonna remove it from underneath the car, but after seeing it done this way, it seemed easier.

justin55022.jpg

The whole thing was out in under an hour... top job guys! The engine and gearbox sold that very night for A$500.

Heres something that you don't see every day! While the guys were pulling the engine from the Silvia, we walked around AGI Automotive and found this:

justin55029.jpg

A Nissan Patrol Race 'Car'. It contests dirt trials, and if you look veery closely, you can juuuust make out something extreeeeemly out o0f place:

justin55027.jpg

GOOD son of rajab IT'S AN RB26DETT!!! With 350hp at the wheels no less. More on this ride later.

justin55013.jpg

One more pic from our workshop (the Aussies here might see the irony), we had a Ford Falcon GT ute and a HSV Maloo R8 ute in our shop at the same time... I actually got to drive the R8 (with the 6.0 Gen IV) and holy shit... the girls got some balls. I'm no convert, but the VZ 6.0 Gen IV HSV's are the pick of the Holden bunch without question.

Hehehe, thats 1 dirty RB26DETT!

Good luck with your two project cars! Sounds awesome fun to do 2 projects at same time.

Cheers

And it's not a Skyline... hell it isn't even a Nissan, but my other brother from the same mother just bought a CC Lancer GSR from Sydney and drove it all the way to Perth, thats 4000k's... it's another project car, so we'll have 3 cars getting pretty extensive mods. The Lancer has 11 second quarters as a goal:

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
