R33 GTR Rebuild + Upgrading
Dose Pipe Sutututu replied to oSkylines's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
If HICAS was so "great" why do all circuit cars, proper track cars, (going back in time) touge cars, 90s drag cars, 90s drift cars all delete them? Because it's shit. -

HICAS in the R32 and R33 both belong in the bin. First real handling mod I did was delete HICAS, followed by a proper mechanical LSD (albeit I have a GTS-t shit box). R34 HICAS is barely ok, if I had a R34 I would delete it as well. -
Adjustable rev limiter 😎 7000, 7500, 8000, 8600rpm The idea was for skid pans to set a "max" wheel speed. I found in 2nd at 8000rpm+ there was too much wheel speed to hold a slide with my crappy driving LOL.

@R3N3 I run 2x Clarion marine amps (1x 4 channel, 1x mono block for the sub) they have a super small footprint and produce enough power for my modest audio. They now have a 5 channel marine amp, which wasn't available back then when I bought these. Headunit has been upgraded (some features went backwards such as time alignment) with a Pioneer A5450BT. Has wireless Android auto. Reverse camera, went with an Amazon special 1080P one, as the Pioneer one is a CMOS sensor and would in theory output a lower quality image. And update on the SSR and surge tank wiring refresh

I dare say it's rust water or motor oil. Imagine going to Pick & Payless and going through a wrecking yard full of Commodores and Falcons. They're filthy at best and usually have a nice set of forklift marks under the chassis lol. Our cars are no different back in Japan.
-
Oh yeah, cleaned the rear seats with the Bissell. 27 years of Japanese, Aussie shit, piss, grim, whatever has graced the rear seat.
-
Since you're not running a fixed bucket seat, you could fit 2x nice under seat subs. My friend has a pair of Alpine PWE-S8 in his SWB Pajero and they actually sound decent. Of course you don't get the nice lows of a proper driver however they are quite musical for what they are.
-
@GTSBoy very nicely done, you also have too much time LOL. My old white R33 had Focal 165K2 and I sandwiched 2x 16mm MDF sheets together and made something similar followed by painting them both in sound deadening. Door proceeded to get 2x layers of eDead (Dynamat knock off at the time). This car, the fronts have had the stock plastic mounts attacked with a Dremel lol. I think I might get in touch with @Fhrx (hope you're still around Marty) to do my front stage and make a nice slim enclosure for a sub in the boot that also covers up all the SSR shit and surge tank lines.
-
@GTSBoy those speakers have the gain on quite low, merely there for fill and the odd time I drive around with no sub in the boot it adds a bit of bass back into the system when I turn off the high pass. Also, if anyone has a keen eye, those are Jaycar Response Kevlar speakers from the early 2000s. Agreed rear speakers are useless, however I had them lying around in a box for nearly two decades so slapped them in when I removed the ghastly horrible 6x9s the previous owner put in back then. Front stage has (also discontinued ancient stock) Jaycar Vifa 6.5" with Ribbon Tweeters, a bit harsh for my liking so (maybe or never) might replace with a pair of Morel Maximo if I feel like donating more money to the car vortex lol.
-
Also re-fitted up infant seat mounts, this required me to attack those pretty speakers with a Dremel to allow the brackets to fit nicely against the car. FB and wreckers wanted $50 for these brackets, I ended up buying them new for the same price from: https://rawsparts.com/nissan_skyline_r33/98-r33-gtr-cra-kit.html

Today, unboxed a box of new random shit I've collected over the years. Fitted up new window stabilisers, as the old ones (most likely from factory) have worn down to the metal and ate the tint. This also means I'll be getting the car re-tinted. Booked in next week for tint removal and re-tint in legal ceramic tint. The current one is stupid dark and also has started to go purple.

Interested in a R32 GT-R? My friend's family member is selling: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/767311338738793/?mibextid=dXMIcH

R33 GTR Rebuild + Upgrading

Pop in a higher flowing aftermarket oil pump and using the stock sump is asking for issues. -

You mean best mod for any RB is a larger sump. I would be doing 1st, building a RB and putting that motor back into the car with the original ice cream container sump is asking for the motor to come out. -
LOLOLOL brah, there's no solder in that setup 🙂 Watching too many HP Academy videos and reading up on the Motorsport Wiring page on Facebook. Would be nice if I could use the kids to build stuff I could sell, works for me 😂
-
Add it to your list of things to do 😂 More than happy to explain it and take you through it, alternatively you could use a PDM and double up outputs to allow 50A loads. I went down this route because I set it up years ago before PDMs were a common thing. Been meaning to tidy it up for years, and install a 2nd SSR. Found the time to do it now, since I'm not working (on paternity leave). It's amazing how motivated I am now because I'm not working my normal job. It's like my corporate job drains my soul of everything else. Today, finished off the wiring from SSR to fuel pumps, I integrated fly back diodes into the wiring for sex appeal, instead of running them externally over the surge terminals.
-
I am really enjoying not working at the moment. When my daughter goes down for a nap, I have a bit of a window to cook/clean/do shit/do a shit/work on the shit box. Today, I decided it was time I added a 2nd SSR for my PWM fuel pump setup. Previously had both pumps off the 1x SSR, which is totally fine, however knowing my luck the SSR might just die so always good to have some kind of redundancy, even if it's just 1 out of 2 pumps running. Still thinking how to route the wiring, job for tomorrow.

Making the shit box, less shit by about 0.1% Started by taking out the harness bar, seats, trim, parcel tray. Going to change the RCA leads as the current set has a bolt through it lol. Then upgrade the headunit, install 2x baby seat tether points (turns out buying them new is cheaper than trying to buy them on FB or off a wrecker, funny right?). Will then leave the trim and shit off, and remove the stupid dark tint and replace it with something normal and legal. After all that, will then go back to fab for a few small changes, such as a better catalytic converter and the catch can Venturi. If anyone is reading this and wants to buy this shit heap, please buy it off me so I stop spending money on it.
