Hey guys I've been watching and studying for sometime but i still don't have the answer so i thought i'd ask and hopfully with enough expertise out there you can help illustrate what might be an approporiate start.

I'm importing an GTR 33 (though Imports101 in WA nissans especially R33 compliance is so easy for them ) with the titled parts (T88H 34D with Tomei 2.7 kit) I mean plus the needed support bits (oil cooler, big intercooler, 1000ccs, surge tank and multiple fuel pumps etc) probably cross mission too.

But when it gets here I'm not sure what work must be done when buying a second hand beast (by this i mean highly modified). It's supposed to be running 800-1000hp but we all know about hp figures hehe. I have already ordered a custom (JUN copied with bolstered ram shaft) plenum.

My understanding would be

1. Check stoker kit, shot peen crank?, change conrod bolts?, balance conrods, polish pistons?

2. check dump pipe for hughness, exhaust etc

3. Check T88 maybe high flow turbo?

4. what else? :starwars:

Please keep in mind budget so some sort of order of what to do would be cool, I'm juiced to get this because this time last year I almost bought a JUN 2.7 R34 but missed it.

If you wold like a look http://www.centralmotor.net/web/detail.php?num=152

So do i check everything or just some things if so what is an absolute must, to be checked what is something that can wait or isn't too important?

PS outcome is daily drive drag/street car

Congrats on the buy dude, sounds like a bit of an animal..

as for what to do, well, engine wise you shouldn't have to do anything, to get the extra stroke you need a different crank <usualy> so id peg that the motor already has a billet crack, rods and pistons, big cams, and probable a hoard of other fruit internally to support the power...

however, if your paranoid, and i know i personally would be, id be pulling the motor out, and stripping it down to check everything to make sure its in good working order, and giving it a new set of rings and bearings, depending on how long its been together for, unless you can get accurate info from the guys in japan about it, it'll save the not knowing factor...

as for everything else, personally id leave it alone, and id just look about getting it re-tuned for australian fuel, thatd be priority number one once your sure about the quality of the internals, then you will see what it can do, and if you need to touch anything to get more out of it...

Looks good, i dont like the mission your gonna have of getting it complianced tho...

It would be a good idea to rip the motor down and have a look at everything and see whats going on internally and to give it a freshen up.

Sometimes te cars are meant to be "internally" modded but when they get here and pop you find out they werent.

leave the plenum, no need to change that

High flow a T88-34D

Good son of rajab dude... You certainly dont wanna be doing that!

I'd personally be changing the turbo if you wanna have some street use.

Something like a HKS T04Z... they seem to be doing amazing things and would make a super streeter.

For more info in T04Z - use the search button as there is a great thread on it all.

No need to pull the engine.

Do a leak down test, that will tell you what sort of condition the pistons, rings, bores, valves, head gasket etc is in.

Then take an oil sample and send it for analysis, that will tell you what sort of condition the bottom end is in, bearings, crank, rods etc.

If everything tests OK, then run it up on the dyno and check the A/F ratios, knock, power etc

If everything is OK, then get on with driving it.

:starwars: cheers :)

not to spoil the mood or anything.

but there WILL be a problem complying that.

just a gues youl need these parts.

non braded brake lines

posibly brake calipers/discs

engine

wheels

seats

and pretty much anything else non standard.

just make sure you know were the raws auditers are so they can submit the paperwork when their on the otherside of the country.

sick car but MASSIVE job.

oh. the engine should be fine. :lol:

MMMmmm...yummo engine,but I'll mirror earlier comments,tho':good luck getting that beast complied! Oh,yes:

3. Check T88 maybe high flow turbo?
As you need MORE flow than a T88 provides?LOL!

Denver: R31Nismoid: Sydneykid: I know I know i just haven't imported before so I'm like what to do. Anways thanks a mill you guys for posting it helps confirm things big time.

T04GTR: The import co will compliance as I said they do R33's easy, plenty of the vanialla R33 parts nps there.

Fast GTR: it comes with PFC and commander already but thinking wolf cos nos, antilag and rotational i.

Thanks again

ill say, the work to strip the car to compliance condition is going to be huuuge

the interior is 100% stock apart from a torque spliter/power FC/one gauge and a remote start in the glove box.

So it'll just be the exterior and hey wish me luck and no pain please

BTW Nismoid are you familiar with how much it is to be a sponsored banner ad PM me please or Blitz if you know.

Just becasue a piece of paper says 'this is whats in the car' doesnt exactly mean everything is in there.

Strip the motor down. This is the only way you will know for sure what is in the engine. Then (and only then) you can decide how hard you want to lean on it. Your engine builder can then set the desired clearances, tolerences, compression ect based on what is ACTUALLY in the engine and what you want the car to do. It is alot cheaper than tuning the car based on what you 'think' is in the car and then having it go bang.

I would assume its a standard & prepped crank.

I thought the normal Power FC needed AFM's?

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
