    R33 Wannabe Drift Car/pig Build To Decent Street Car

    in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations

    Posted · Edited by Gcjosh

    Right so here goes,

    (I've built plenty of cars over my years but have never documented it)

    So I swapped a car for this white R33, some of you may have seen it before, most of you probably not.

    Swapped it very late at night so I didn't really get a good look at it, it's not a bad base though just there is a lot of missing/not working parts.

    And because it has no mufflers it's damn loud! So I got home about 1am and not wanting to wake the neighbors I reversed it down my driveway and opened the door to push it, as I was very tired and not looking this happened

    The door got caught on my bobber frame :(

    Anyway I'm not a big fan of cheaper parts, they have there place though, so the plan and list of changes are long..

    Firstly I already have a new front bar to replace the cracked one that was on there (thanks Corey)

    And also replaced the boot with drag wing with a gtr one and stupid me shut it before I changed the lock now I can't open it as the boot release doesn't work

    And new wheels to replace the standard s14 wheels that were on it lol

    It has a microtech ltx12 which is kind of wired in correctly, no hand controller so got a new one of those, and will be going right through the wiring when I get time.

    Scored a eboost2 cheap of a friend as the car had no working boost gauge or controller.

    I have purchased a atr43sat turbo from hypergear gear, getting a 6boost manifold and 50mm turbosmart gate to go with it.

    Aiming for around 450+ hp as it is a neo motor.

    Few other simple things that need fixing, only one speaker worked so I pulled apart all the doors etc and it was just a broken wire or unplugged wire, and my lucky day it has some very nice, but old alpine speakers with tweeters and cross overs, hooked up my new alpine mech free Bluetooth headunit and it sounds quite nice.

    Things that need fixing, tacho doesn't work properly, I suspect it just needs to pins bent a bit.

    Oil temp is not connected, nor water but that you can see through the microtech.

    Pcv valve not connected, needs some rear seatbelts, windscreen wipers, washer bottle etc

    Once all parts arrive and are fitted it will be off to the muffler shop for a high flow cat and rear muffler and a 2" screamer pipe with a cat and muffler also ;) 5 inch muffler all up should be enough.

    Then off for a tune , I'll post some more pics as I go and feel free to ask any questions etc

    Sure ain't, it is still classed as a gt apparently.

    Regarding the the turbo I spoke with stao at hypergear and he said he could supply a brand new gt core for $600 or $650 for a gtx core but I've gone a different path.

    Oh and sorry mods, I must have missed the bit about multiple threads, won't happen again... :(
