Gtr R34 V-spec In The Build
johnbarry88 replied to QUP29's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
looking good man, love my car because of the hypertune plenum... -
Full interior no cage atm (1330kg). I'm in the process of stripping the interior and so far with the passengers front seat, all seat belts, rear seats and some plastic trims I've taken an extra 34kg's. Will leave the dash pad and centre console in adding 2 Kirkey seats + harness bar. Will try and do a full pass without a cage to see what it does. Side pipe will have a matching 2.5" screamer poking out below it at some point!!!

Well after long consideration and time wasting I've come up with the fuel system for car. We have decided to go with a mechanical fuel pump setup that's driven by the intake cam shaft. This setup should see us never run out of fuel and will cut the electrical load on the car dramatically. At this point in time the fuel tank will be taken out of the car and a new 30L fuel cell and lift pump setup will be installed, stay tuned!

Well with powercruise 56 done and dusted I'm now in the process of getting the car ready to take to the drag strip. The car performed fantastic all weekend and was great being able to drive a fast car again. We do have some oiling issues to sort out but we know what needs to be done. Currently looking at fixing the transbrake and hooking up nitrous to get the car on converter for future powercruise events. I weighed the car at the track and came in at 1330kg so also looking at taking some weight out and try to run a decent pass before we need to cage it. Fuel system will need a rehash and the old tank will be deleted etc. Yes the paint survived the side pipe action although a couple of arms hanging out the window may not have, will run the screamer up below the dump at some stage.

Well, 7 months ago I was made an offer on my R33 GTR that I could not turn down! After watching her been towed away I had made the decision to put the profits back into the house.....well that's what I told myself I was gonna do!!! One of my good mates had made the decision not to continue on in the car seen, so after some negotiating we made an offer on what you see here. To start with most of the car was built by the previous owner, how ever some loss of interested saw it go a little south. Determined to have a car for this years powercruise I set myself that challenge to get this bad boy back up to scratch.... Car is running a built Rb26/30 and 300zx 4spd built box with a 5000rpm stall converter + transbreak Morning of picker the car up Started straight away with tearing it down The car came with a few extra goodies Started stripping the car and cleaning the enigne bay for paint Chose the same colour as my new Jeep so it would match while towing Engine bay now painted Painted the engine covers at the same time Decided to open the motor up and have a look around. Good thing we did as we found some bearing wear. All new bearings and main studs fitted. While we were there fitted a tomei oil pump, Kulig Engineering crank trigger kit and customer enlarged sump and ATI balancer Once the engine bay was finished being painted we moved onto the new turbo, manifold and wastegate for the car though about a GTX but decided we didnt need it Moved onto the intercooler piping and started painting everything we could in black Made up a new air intake A before and after transformation Decided to add some carbon fibre to break the black and grey up Need to try and fit some 275's under it Well after playing around the inside I had to pay the outside some attention so we gave her a quite paint over a weekend On our way to get her tuned After driver 3 1/2 hours from Brisbane to Hervey Bay so Brad at Turning Point could get his tune on, dropped the car off and left it in Brads hands to get her sorted. The boys did come into some issues with the car and we had changed a few things from previous but this was to be expected. The car was running 1000cc sard injectors witch were swapped out for some bosch 1700s that I had but unfortunately they didnt want to play ball. After chagning all the plugs etc for the bosch injectors we had to change them back to the 1000's. On E85 the car stands at 630rwhp which should be nice to drive with the built 4spd 300zx box behind her!!! Will post some video's of the tune once I have some..
