I hope to get a new set of rubber next year after i have had some time back in it. Sounds like a plan bud.

Hi, As some of you know i tried and failed to sell my much loved GTSt, so instead of giving it away i decided to cancel the rego and build it into a relatively cheap fun track car. This will by no means be a car that i am expecting to compete against the big boys with as it would just end in tears. So it will be mainly aimed at events like Super Lap, SSCC, the MRA series and just kick about track days with friends. As the car stands it was my daily driver for 3 years and served its purpose well. Soon i took it to its first track day and with the help of Neil i became hooked. and with a little tape wola That was in 07, since then i have just been doing some SAU days, a Bathurst speed weekend and the 08 superlap and i kept it road regoed till now. So far the car has had a little work done to it as below. Engine: Std internals HKS 256 and 264 cams with adjustable HKS cam gear on exh side (VCT remains) Spitfire coil packs Plazmaman inlet plenum Sard 550cc injectors Walbro in tank fuel pump Std GTR front mt intercooler Nismo adj FPR GT3071R turbo with 700177-5023 cartridge number, it is the un-cropped Garret GT30 turbine housing with no internal gate. TiAl 38mm external gate 3" turbo back exh with the W/G line plumbed in just before the cat 15 row oil cooler with filter relocation kit Z32 afm HKS super suction air filter kit AVCR boost controller Apexi power FC Drivetrain, handling and brakes 5 paddle B/Button clutch Re shimmed and re sealed std diff Hicas removal bar GTR strut brace at the front GTR lower strut brace at the rear Bilstien shocks and Whiteline springs ( Sydney kids GB ones ) Selbys adjustable solid swaybars front and rear Whiteline camber kit front and rear Whiteline diff alignment kit Whiteline adj caster bushes 17 super advan rims with Falken RT615 street legal semi slicks 235's on the front and 255's on the rear Brembo R33 GTR brakes front and rear with braided lines Std GTR rotors on the rear and RDA slotted rotors on the front Hawk DC60's pads on the front and HT10's on the rear ( Very good pads, best i have ever used) Larger master cylinder with bias adjuster So for this build up the engine will getting removed mainly just be to get the A/C and heater core and lines removed. Tidy up and inspect it (not stripping it) then refit the engine with a new set of Nismo engine mts, alloy radiator and a alt under drive pulley set. The gearbox is only getting a clutch bypass line, Nismo short shifter, a knob and a Nismo mount. I have just built a diff for it. I got it out of a S14 housing i think??? (it was just lying around at a mates) and used my std ratios and just re shimmed the center in my housing. I don't know the brand of the diff but it is a 2 way of some breed ?? we will see how it goes. I also fitted a GTR rear cover to get an extra liter of oil and some little cooling fins to try and help the diff survive a little longer and some new whiteline front diff mt bushes. The brakes and suspension are staying the same just with the addition of front and rear adjustable cambers arms, i have not decided on a brand to use yet so anyone with some experience please post up your comments or i was just looking at the JJR ones??? The interior is where all the action will be happening, it is getting the sunroof removed and welded up and a full roll cage welded into it from Bonds. The interior will cop a few more little additions in the way of some saber gauges and a new steering wheel and D1 quick release. The wheels and body work will be staying the same at this stage unless i can find a cheap vented bonnet?. I got home yesterday from work at 10AM after just finishing my fourth night shift and decided it would be a good time to start stripping the car out, i was drunk with fatigue . So with the help of a mate two pies and a double espresso dare. I got the gearbox, tail shaft, radiator and engine out. As you can see i had broken the LH engine mount, from what i have seen this is common in R33's. Today i was planning on getting the engine in the stand and tidying up my mess and starting to strip the interior out. But i have spent all morning trying to work out how to attach pics in this post ( Gee i hope they work). Anyways thanks for reading and i will try and up date along the way with pics if i can get any. Enjoy.

Hey Dan do you know what brand that is?

Hey Stuart will he separate the Whiteline rear upper adjustable control arms??? if so how much bud. Cheers, Ryan

I will take the Din pocket if you still have it.

So what ended up happening to the coupe?

Yer i always check my tooth contact but it is also good if you have the back lash spec to run with and the i am chasing the preload on the hemisphere bearing cups on the cones not the tension on the hemisphere retaining bolts.

As the title states i am chasing the Nissan specs for a R33 GTST diff hemisphere pre load and the crown wheel to pinion back lash if anyone has them. Cheers, Ryan

I can make you up some of them Andy if you need one i made my self one a while ago and did not use the D shackle and bolted the loop through the LHS bonnet catch bolt. I can make up a few if you get some people organised or i will try and make one up for you next time i get back down to the lake. Or you can go to a sailing shop and give them the pic and they will make one up for you no worries. Let me know bud.

Very nice Brad and Jay. You can tell when people take pride in there work. My understanding of a roll cage is that it is there to if you have an accident and the cage is only going to be as good as its weakest link, and this project looks superb. It will be good for everyone purchasing a cage to know what to expect when they get one fitted. Great work.

JJJ all the way ya old fuddy duddies.

I am interested to see how it comes up Benny boy. Mine is due to be delivered for the cage on the 19th of Sep, so i am trying to get my shit organised and look at as many cages as possible.

Nice speed into the kink mate. Zoom zoom.

Need to order yourself 2.5Kg of Vaso and a few shoe horns.

Cool, Cool. Did you get my PM bud?

55 mm Barr hahaha Please take a vid of how it is done once the car is complete. I am 100 mm and i have 3 mtr ramps and it still needs persuasion. It is good to see the car taking shape. Top work.

skyline pdf of diffs slivia and skyline PDF for diffs Just thought i would post this up to help out anyone wondering if it will fit there cars. I might be interested in the bar? i will have a think about it and let you know.

Yer i am super keen and have been ever since i talked to Waldo. I have been on a mission saving and spending my ass off trying to get my shit together so i can do the whole season next year. So far i have ordered about 1/3rd of the required parts no real exciting bits just wear and tear stuff, canceled my rego, purchased a car trailer and i pick up my new/second hand tow bitch tomorrow woohoo V8 Power hahaha. Just need to make some room in the shed over the next few weeks then i will be flat out pulling her apart and sending it off to get some chassis work done and a full weld in cage put in. I am so excited. I was hoping to take it to the Bulahdelah hill climb as its first outing but it will most likely be the SAU day at OP south. Next year will kick ass, we will have Chubs, Ando, Brad and my self from SAU. Hell yer.

What parts ya need bud?

I just called and he said "Dan who?" LOL not really mate all good thanks for that waiting for stock 2-4 weeks away. Comon people this is a super track and will be one of the last times you can drive OP GP. I wish i was going to be there. :-(

Does the wheel come with the Boss? If so what model was it from? Cheers, Ryan
