wow....alot of respect for your build mate....its not only painful to fork out the $$ but more so in the time it takes to get it together and on the road!!

but its worth it, at the end of the day u'll have an awesome setup!!

cant wait to see the figures it pumps out...its going to be a beast

Looking good Brad. Well done. Make sure you post up the graphs when she hits the rollers.

I thought my Stagea was nice, looks like a piss ant POS next to this.

Very nice conversion, may I ask what sort of money to build just the motor? (Pm if you like).. And why you went the JUN 2.7lt? And say not the Tomei 2.8lt? Or even HKS for that matter.

I'm currently looking at the Tomei 2.8lt, but are still in heavy research mode until my gtst goes to free up money, so I would love to hear pro’s and con’s and everyone’s opinion.

Yeah im interested in some info too, alternatively, did you look into buying say a complete engine from Tomei/mines etc brad?

yes im leaving the standard harmonic (at the moment) which limits the rpm to under 9k but for 500rwhp i wont need to rev it that hard, and the engine parts i choose because they were offered to me second hand, and i want the revving nature of the 26 to remain, as ive had a rb30 and it was a truck engine in comparision (slow reving), but i've explained it all on page 1 and 2 of the thread, and cost of the entire engine and external parts, plus fuel system, ecu, and everything to make the power is over 40K if i bought the bits new, and ive spent over 30k in reciepts, and thats JUST PARTS, NO labour. (cause i saved 10k on the second hand bits, though they were unused and still in boxes).

now u can see y im abit anxious about the build :rant:

crank is limited to 11k for safety, and 13k rpm for extreme applications i've been told.

im abit annoyed i've spent soo much and only want 500rwhp at the moment as i've gone total overkill, and coulda used stock parts in the build, but i always want room for more power, and next target is the t04z's limit which is 700rwhp, and then i might get another larger turbo to push it even harder and get above 700rwhp. The engine combo is rated to 800-850rwhp or so with a trust t78 by the JUN head guy. or over 1000rwhp with a t88.

I cant imagine how hard it would be to tune an engine like that on the dyno. one little bit of knock that you cant even hear and BANG its blown up before you know it...

What im saying is that it takes serious tuning skill and knowledge to get a beast like that running to its potential...

Cheers,

Matt

PS - cant wait to see it roaring down the strip :)

So what are you going to make the limiter assuming you change the balancer?

9500rpm?

And yeh you better have alot of faith in your tuner!

not sure, as the gearbox wont shift above 9k rpm and i need oversize pulleys to prevent blowing the air con compressor up and to slow down the power steering and water pump (n1 which flows less already so might get hot in traffic with an oversize pulley and cruising speeds)

i think the need for over 9k rpm wont be very often as it is going to be a street car and not a drag/track car, so i need it reliable in traffic as much as possible, i have another daily driver, so wont be drivin it more than 1-2 times a week for cruises on weekends, or maybe the occasional thrash after work :P

the tuner i am using, does race/rally cars, and high power street cars, currently his best hp is just under 700hp at the wheels from an evo 6 i think (2L turbo)

just sorting all the fuel lines at the moment, and god damn they are pricey :P

spent $400 on turbo braided lines for water and oil

another $350+ on fuel lines and fittings

and i still havent got everything yet. B)

cheers

Brad

Just a quick question are you feeding your fuel rail from both end with the return from the centre, as i can only see feed on the front?

pete

yes it has twin feeds one from each end and then the return in the centre :)

its a Sard fuel rail

I assume controlling it will be something like the silver Stagea a few minutes into this video clip http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8...3&q=Skyline+GTR :(

Thats stagea is nuts.... Cyrus would like this....

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
