H@ME

well guys, there was a miscommunication problem between me and the mechanic, was ment to be ready saturday afternoon but he didnt get back to me so, i'll be going to the bank in the next 1/2 hour to get the funds and head on down there to pick her up (After a phone call) hame...OooOOo the suspense

LADIES AND GENTLEMENT! TODAY IS THE DAY! I AM GOING TO PICK UP THE R33 gts WITH RB25DET CONVERSION, I HOPE ALL HAS WORKED OUT WELL, I GOT THE CALL LAST NIGHT ON THE WAY TO WORK TELLING ME IT'D BE READY TODAY. SO I SHOULD BE GETTING A FEW PICTURES FOR YOU GUYS. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE BRAKES SHOULD BE DONE, FULL ENGINE TRANSFER FMIC INSTALLATION WITH ALLOY PIPING. CAR HAS NOT BE TUNED (does anyone think it should be) CAR NEEDS A CLEAN UP (which i will be doing today) IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS YOU ALL RECOMMEND I ASK? YAY! hame!

yeaha i was hold they just had a LSD, what is a VLSD? so it shouldn be too weak for the series 2 rb25det, yeaha she is coming along which is great to hear, hoping to have her back in a week! So let's get some cruizes together!!!

Was thinking maybe the 33 GTR diff if this would fit? If not just the normal GTS-t what would you reccomend. think the normal diff is going to stay in her for a while after the conversion, will this be a problem? answer in my thread if you want.

talking about diff's does anyone know if the r33 gts series one diff is different to the gts-t?? need to know for the converion i suppose as my new engine is a series 2 rb25det.

hey out of interested can you find out where the engine has come from etc only as i having a conversion and 'apparently it a series 2 engine' but i just wondering if i can find this out some how?? hame

So far cut has cost me 4k, labor i am fixing up when job completed. (approximatly 2k)

YEaha i know what you mean it would be great to do all the work my self but my garage is a SLUG (single) and there is no room for engine cranes or anything like that. Anyhow went and got a prgress report, he is having trouble with the brakes he said but the engine was in, gearbox was in etc took a few snaps for people's viewing pleasure. He said cut was from a series two so there was a bit of fiddleing around with engine mounts and loom etc but all is good now. You can see where the cut marks are set for the FMIC, the front bar i don't think is going to be modified. Let me know what you think, any questions i should ask etc. He said it wont be long now till she is all complete! i cant wait having driven her since 30th june! Kind Regards, Hame

good information eugine! that should answer the questions!

ok ok, felt bad here are some of specs Nissan Skyline R33 GTS Years 93-98 Engine 2.5 DOHC 24V 6cyl Format RWD Weight 1270kg Power 96Kw Torque 172NM 0-00km/h *** 1/4 mile *** Transmission 5 Spd/4 Spd auto Suspension multi-link Brakes Vented Discs

There is a lot of information on this just google R33 GTS specs etc there is several sites, i have them in my favorites but to lazy to get the links, sorry.

Yeaha hope it not too much of a headache, i am going to see the car over the weekend, so will be posting pics up as soon as i get them. cheerz, hame

looks great man, when i get my 33 back i'll give it a go and put it up for ya.

good to see it all going well noel, need to see some video's of it down at QR or on the streets @ the least n not just ideling. my engine is finally in just needs to be wired, intercooler installed and tuned! hame

hey interested in the drivers side door surround switch thingy, $20? but first i'd like to see pics if possible. kind regards hame

Hey interested in the boost gauge can u pm location please

Well spoke to a friend of the garage last night, and he informed my that the engine was put in over the weekend, dump had been welded to my existing exaust system (3") with large resinator and yeaha that's all i heard but just though i'd share it with u guys, just the wiring to go hopefully..!

ignuz, yeaha it just an rb25det conversion, already have large exaust system etc, as said in previous posts i have a FMIC with alloy piping to go on, i just bought a Greddy B.O.V, and a few other things but nothing major to the engine as far as internals go, after the conversion is done i wont have any cash left for spending, but yeaha i am pumped to see it started at least considering i havnt driven the car since the 30th of june! so yeaha i hope ot have it all done soon. Anthony has bought a new water pump for it. Cheers, hame

Hey guys i was dropping a friend off to the new farm blockbuster or video easy and i saw this "skyline" in the car park it was was badged skyline accross the back i just stopped to get this quick pic off my phone sorry of the quality, i was in a rush to get to work. i pretty sure it not a v35, i really not sure what it is.... hame

Well guys today is the 4th october, my friend from uni john, has been hasteling me to get down to the garage and have a look. We unexpectivly showed up today and found my car out the font. As the boys @ Kaizen were working away hard, i just took these few snaps just to see what had been happening. Not really sure of the detail of the progress, he mentioned that the rotors have been machined. this was good to hear as i thought we were not going ahead with the brake conversion. so i am happy about that! Sorry about the picture quality in this post and through out the thread they are all off my 2 megapixel mobile camera. Anyhow let me know what u guys think. Hame

Yeaha the new laws are pretty restrictive accross all states. GL with modding! btw, please don't do a dodgey spray job on a liner!! kind regards, hame

window button surround, sprayed in black $20 been looking for one of these! could you please PM me, Hame

Yeah this topic is one that i have been pondering about as i am having the rb25det conversion and need to do something about the brakes sooner or later! I am not made of money, but i also don't want poor braking ability. is there laws on conversions and brake size. links? Hame

you have drivers side door switch surround?? andlso interested in blitz pod please PM may want the sway bar as well

the process i hope will take maximum of two weeks, please not that 'i hope' not really sure how long it will take as the garage is a very busy place and it will most likely be worked on time to time, i want to get pics of the cut etc and show u guys, i'll contact the mechanic and ask. regards, Hame
