Hey, Okay, so my build thread is a bit late, so I'm just gonna throw up a heep of random pics of the car

here is a pic of the box with the transfer case welded up and machines the faces

you guys get it easy. Here in Mackay its $650 to get a VE commodore tinted!!! - no I do not own a VE

hey, I am currently half way through doing two of these conversions. Im doing the first one becasue my mate had a GTR he crashed and we are putting the motor and box into his s13. And the other one Im doing because I know how easy it is, and I had a rb25 in my r32 with a rb20 gearbox, so I got a RB26 box for $600 delivered to nth qld from adelaide. Basically if you blow a box you can just pull off the rear housing and bolt it onto a new rb26 box. I pulled all the clutch packs off it and gutted the silent chain and angle grinded the transfer case off it. Keep an eye on my build thread in the projects and overhauls topic. I havent finished even the initial post in there but once I do I will post up pics of the modded transfer case. I think its a great idea if you have a rb26 box laying around. They can be had for so cheap

Well.. I was just thinking, if I have 25mm OD tube, with 3mm wall thickness, I could tap the internal bore out to M20x1.5 or M22x2.5 and get a 20mm/22mm male rose joint to suit. But if I used a female rose joint I could machine a 1" thread on the outside of the tube and use a 1" (25.4mm) female rose joint Just a thought anyways.. and as for Mackay having a dealership I will try calling SKF bearing supplies before I buy anything, they sell rosejoints, I will just have to enquire if they're suitable for automotive

I've never installed these bushes before but I'm going to say, double check the sway bar is installed properly, and if it is, I personally would just pull it back out and hammer the floor in a little bit...

yeah I will be using all r33 rear end. Can someone please post up sizes or pm me sizes for these bushes I'll even offer to buy you a beer when im down south

anyone?

Thankyou very much.

thankyou. Did it last just for the suspension time? How did you apply for that?

I don't have to goto court, but I'm just considering going and pleaing for my licence back. I was hoping someone may have tried

Hey, first off I don't want to hear the flaming. I am on good driving behaviour atm and get my full opens back on 12th August. On Monday the 5th of this month I got done for 33km over and that is 6 points. I work 48km from home and there is no public transport in mackay so I have no way but to drive to work. Has anyone ever asked the court if they can get have their lisence back and plea remorse? Thanks

Hey. After reading through everyones projects, I thought its about time I started my own build thread. The car is a 1989 R32 GTS-T. I purchased the car just over 12 months ago. When I bought it, it was not running. The car had what I thought were some tasteful mods. After getting it home and starting to see what more it needs to get running, wasnt I wrong. The car was equipped with a HKS 2530 fresh rebuild turbo RB25DET motor and RB20 gearbox Home made front and dump/screamer pipe (internally gated, very gay) home made mild steel cooler pipes painted black (looked good till i saw inside them) greddy inlet plenum hard wired microtech lts-12x superspark coils gtr wheels stock kit very nice trust catback with twin 4" tips walbro fuel pump gizmo boost controller (uninstalled) gtr interiour square momo steering wheel So after some thought I decided there is no use getting this car running and tuning it with such a small turbo to only want to upgrade at a later stage and then try to sell a second hand turbo. So i went out and bought a Garret 3076 0.86 rear b-band housing. Then I did a 6boost group buy on manifolds, and picked up myself a highmount manifold with a 44mm tial wastegate. When i fitted the radiator up it was draining itself overnight... and I could not find where the water was going, turned out the water jacket inside the greddy manifold were badly casted and the water wasleaking ontop of the valves. So I purchased another plenum, this time a polished greddy copy. I wanted to check what fuel pump was in it, so I pulled the cover off the floor in the boot only to notice the fuel pump cradle was sikaflexed down, so I had to purchase a new viton o-ring to suit. When I pulled the fuel pump out, the filter sock had fallen off and sucked up hair, a spider and heatshrink and loads of crap. So i threw it in the bin and bought a walbro 500hp pump. I then took the car to my local tuner Adrenalin Performance, to get some pipework done. I had them make a 3" dump off the turbo and a 2" dump off the waste gate, merging to a 3.5" pipe, running down to a trust box muffler, then exiting at twin 2.5" and following through to twin 4". They also made 2.5" stainless cooler pipes and welded on a new greddy plumback bov right befor the throttle. With a 1" stainless return line off the bov going back to the 4" 90 degree mandrel bent intake pipe. So after a few months of trying to iron out all the bugs we thought it was time to start the car. So I hooked up the laptop and gave the car some juice from a odyssey battery. And hello... the red power light on the microtech was not turning on with the key.. so I traced the power wire back through the loom to ... nothing... someone cut it half way to the battery and didnt even tape it up. So I extended it, fused it and plugged it in. And we connected to the ecu.... A friend of mine was tuning the car and could not get it to start... And all the stuffing around with the microtech I got the shits and sold it. Bought myself a V44 vipec and a new wiring loom. Hooked it all up and presto, first turn of the key, and it started. So first day of tuning, and there is voltage dramas... the alternator isnt charging. I tried 2 other alternators and still no avail, so I started to pull my hair out and try everything under the sun, back tracking wires over and over. I got my hands on a 4th alternator and put it in, was my final resort, and IT WORKED!! I was just really unlucky with the other alternators. We did a quick tune on the street, probably about 4 hours worth. Used the autotune feature, which is awesome, and then touched it up a little. Never got to adjust timing on the first go though, but this thing hauled!! Was running 17psi. A week later I drove 1000km south to Queensland Raceway and gave it a hiding on the track, my first time ever on a track and I only just got the car. Was a awesome experience and I learnt heeps! After I got back I never bothered tuning it further. It would fry second gear coming on boost, and a quick change to third had it straight to limiter again. This thing loved third gear limiter. After I got back I got a GTR front end off a mate and wasnt going to fit it until I got it painted, but then another mate needed a favour and I gave him the bonnet off my gts-t and fitted the gtr bonnet. Then another mate needed a front bar, so I sold him the stocko front bar. Then the indicators broke so I put the GTR quater panels and indicators on. Then my car looked like shit. Had a matt black front end with a silver rear. My best memory of that was covered in dirt, the front bar was hanging off on one side because the ziptie snapped when i went over a speed bump, and it had a massive exhaust leak from the manifold gasket, and I walked away from a 6L v8 fresh off the showroom floor... now thats gotta hurt. So after I gave it a good hiding it started to get a few oil leaks and gasket leaks and I was just put onto probational licence, I thought its time to buy a ute. So I put this old girl off the road for a fresh up. Was originally going to fix the oil leaks on motor, paint the engine bay and outside, and put it all back together... And now we have the fun part.......

Hey, Im currently in the progress of building a r32 gts-t with a rb25/30 and while im waiting around I've been thinking of a few ideas. I have a r33 rear cradle spare so I'm going to machine up some offset bushes to fit it into the r32 gts-t. Im considering making some custom rear traction rods, and toe rods. They look simple enough. Im just asking if anyone has some aftermarket arms laying around, for a r33/s14/s15 if you could please get some photos of the arms with a ruler beside it, or if you could please measure up the lenghs of everything and post it pretty please I have found these rose joints on ebay for cheap. They have a female thread, and the usual arms you buy have male but I think the female would be a better way to go. I can get LH and RH threaded ones. Im also after a size of the thread on these, as the largest I can find is 14mm http://cgi.ebay.com.au/M14-Female-RH-Rose-...=item587dd0cfbb Also if someone could tell me which threads are LH and RH. Thanks a million for any help, and discussion is welcomed

we have a chinese copy colchester at work... even its not a real good lathe. I wouldnt recommend it, although I can take a good 7mm cut on mild steel and its belt drivin

this thread has got some good information in it. Can I please ask if someone who has made some of these offset bushes up can you please pm me or post up a drawing of these bushes. I have a r33 cradle laying around im pulling the cradle out of my r32 anyways... and I'll machine the bushes myself, and I havent got a diff or arms yet, so I'll just purchase ones to suit the r33 cradle. Then hopefully r33 coilovers will fit? Or is the difference in them on the upper mount/length. My r32 ones are shagged and I have r33 hks coilovers here too

Ouch that's not good. Probably just needs hone and rings but if you go through that much effort, for $2500 can buy forged rods pistons head gasket and bearings from spool.. Good for a long time then.

wow thats unreal..

looks good. Im from mackay, used to pass you on the highway all the time, I work at haypoint. Dont know if you remember my car, silver r32 with matt black gtr front haha, had a 300rwkw rb25 in it but its going to be a 30 soon.... its a project now takes too long. Ill have to make a build thread too. Good work on the gtr, I always passed it thinking yeah.. just another stock r33 haha.. looks the goods

aaah k so the rb25 one fits the rb30 crank and has the third belt? Thanks

Hey, Ive been looking into ross tuffbond and ATI harmonic balancers for an RB30DET and I can't seem to find any that have aircon belt provisions. And ive searched the forums to find aircon is for fags!! But i do want it so anyone found a way around this? Custom a/c bracket or maybe different brand or model of balancer that fits up? thanks
