Risking

Same GTR I've just done a big fuel system for 2k (parts)with Teflon lines, fittings and a 1600hp Weldon pump so yeah your right. Earls/speedflow etc don't do Teflon hose any larger than -8. Anything larger is a rubber/stainless braid covering. The only company doing any decent Teflon hose in -8+ is fragola. But that hose requires fragola fittings which are decent. -16 hose is $98/m retail. I think I supplied it for $49.00 or so. -12 is $78 retail I think. One of the GTR's I've just lined up used 6.5m of -16, 4m of -12 and some offcut -10 for a few breathers. Another car I'm doing currently I have fabricated a custom tank that suits the inner passengers wheel arch and has a filler that sits behind the headlight. It is hard to use a nice shaped tank without hacking the car apart so the pump requires a de aeration manifold to work properly. But -16 hose is down to 2m The manifold costs up to $350 though..... I'll post up a few plumbing diagrams I have of various setups so people can get an idea of the shear amount of fittings required.

As the title says I'm looking for some decent condition r32/33 GTR front lower control arms. Prefer a set with inner and outter balljoints intact. Willing to pick up and pay cash.

It's coming mate...

Because I've gone ahead with it and selling them in the very near future I'm sorting out forum trader agreements So yes it's gone for the time being. I put a heap of money into it so won't not be selling them on the largest skyline related forum....

Yeah it's easy to do now days. For instance I charge $880 for my sumps like the one in this thread I picke up a used Dailey pump yesterday for $400 plus a rebuild kit for $330 I bought I used but good Peterson tank from eBay a month ago for $250 Brackets are around $400 Balancer is $1000 That's $3260 in parts Paying retail your going to hit $5000 for lines and fittings. I'm able to put together a basic line setup to suit most people for $3000 using quality stuff. That's just $6260 with a high end pump rebuilt. It could be cheaper if you do the modified AC bracket trick ($200) and buy a decent used pump for $500 and not rebuild it. Ive got 3 GTR's at the moment that are getting dry sump conversions and one that's getting an external pump wet sump done. The average cost of those 3 cars is $6400 for parts.

In nsw any vehicle with an engine conversion is subject to a weight multiplier. For a vehicle with a factory curb weight if 1100kg plus NA engine conversions curb weight x 4.82= maximum engine cc Forced induction curb weight x 4.0 = maximum cc The RTA say an r32 GTR is 1480kg so the engine can be a max of 5920cc forced A gtst is 1290kg and can have up to 5160cc Ford engine fit well and truely under that obviously.

Has anyone used one of the TO4R turbos they offer? Looking to use one these on a 4.0L xr6 engine in an r34 GTT. Want to make a solid 450kw. Recommendations anyone?? Not fussed about manifold I'll be fabricating my own. Prefer external gate.

I only know of one other person who has done it. I went and looked at that car before doing Pete's and threw up in my own throat it was that poorly done. Any decent chassis builder and good fabricator should be able to do the job, cost could be anything from 5-6k plus shocks. Problem is it's an arse hole of a job to align the rear subframe with the chassis. That's where most of the time goes

Not much you can do with the old swing arm system. Honestly not interested in doing another rear end or front end for that matter. The time it takes you'd be paying 10k plus just for labour.

Pete didn't really care about being different. The motivation behind it was more the fact his pete...... It actually started as an rb26/30 conversion. That went to an r33 GTR rear end. Then to a dry sump conversion and for some stupid reason he asked if id convert it to be awd for shits n giggles. Ash I'd agree it's a heavy pig. Not sure of the weight yet it's not finished. Once his back from overseas the engine will probably get finished

There is also heaps of guys out there doing and capable of doing dry sump pans, brackets and kits. I know the hi octane kits are fairly common but my opponion is you don't get good value for money. I've just done a dry sump setup for an r33 GTR which has come in well and truely cheaper than the "kits" getting around and the sump pan is far better. The owner did some shopping around for a Peterson pump, tank and the rest I've done. The plumbing was just over 2k which includes a -16 return, -16 pump feed, all the scavenge lines using the light weight hose, firewall bulkheads, billet oil mounts, oil feeds, pre filters, sump fittings, tank fittings, breather lines and fittings etc. I spend 10-20k a month with steve and the guys at earls so the discount is fairly healthy This is the 3rd dry sump steve has been out to quote in the last 2 weeks, others were an s15 and an F6 typhon, they love the phone calls saying come quote this car for me! I've been meaning to speak with them about putting together a basic plumbing package for a 4 stage RB26. That way people could just make a phone call and get 95% of the fittings without the hassle of guessing what they need or being ripped off. The big problem I've found with internal pumps is the scavenging manifolds. I've machined the manifold as a separate component that's sealed with o rings to the pump ports from inside the pan. It was impossible to machine a manifold with individual ports that was cleanable and was a single component with the pan. I do my one off's by hand. If the owner wants an NC'ed pan with radius edges and curves etc I give my one to a mate who 3D scans it, adds radius' edges makes it look pretty then sends me back the file to CNC a final product. I end up with two components, and it does take time but that way I'm in control and can see things that need to change before wasting a 500x300x60 block of 6061 or a billion hours drawing something to have to change it half way through. I've done the ford barra sump that way and may do the same with the SR20.

Richard I've being doing exactly that for an sr20 recently. It's almost completed been a time consuming excersise. Have also got one nearly finished for the barra ford engines too. Alot of machine time in them.

Pete hasn't done the conversion at all. Ive done the entire conversion start to finish for him. Its a nightmare job, honestly unless you came to me with 10k plus I'd turn the job down. Custom rear subframe, custom subframe locations in the rear. Front needs a rail section for the drive shafts, crush tubes and a Gtr trans tunnel grafted or fabricated, front upper sections Plus the obundance of little things that adds up to hundreds of hours.

Have one in perfect condition

Well you have to admit it was a kinda of obvious question, wasn't it?? My reply wasn't intended to offend. It has to retain a GTR gearbox. As for how I'll make it work properly, that's what I do for a living, it's all custom fabrication.

I'll use a WRX gearbox and hope for the best.......... That's sarcastic by the way....

No and no. Car is now gone. Scrapped what was left.

We figured it'd be a wanted component. Weve been playing with FG and BF engines for a while now. Have a dry dumped FG engine going into an r34 and also another BA engine going into an r32 GTsT for track school shortly. The awd sump is a work in progress but very possible

It's not a bad fit. Height is a slight issue but nothing major, if using an FG rear sump engine it will require modifications. I've got one in an r32 gtst and an r34 GTT. Also developing a 4 bolt main sump/diff for an awd conversion.

R32 gtst

Have one going cheap. With or without a weld in cage.

Pm me a phone number and I'll SMS one. Can't upload photos currently. It's in 100% perfect condition. No marks airbag still okay and no light on the dash

Depends on the type of cage specifically. The regs will probably still allow the cage to comply. Saying that though they do specify that some category's require weld in cages not bolt in.

Sorry tail lights are not for sale. Yeah steering wheel is for sale. Make a reasonable offer and it's yours
