Captain Natro

Haha I can't give away all the secrets, there is some issues you will run into

Come this arvo beer is on

Haha no worries man, and yer i only live about 45 minutes from willowbank so the car is being built as a weekend car for a bit of fun (but obviously with drag racing in mind as its my Motorsport of choice ) and also as something different to a majority of the other 33s you see around. When I eventually get it out to the strip ill post up videos.

haha u didn't realise from you know my car, listed... There <<<<No hsv badge, thinking about a gts57 sticker done in gts25-t font . And I'll do my best this week end for some videos mmmmkay, won't be anything exciting that will have to wait until happy laps in April. Quick rev just to prove it runs (best listened to with headphones as its really deep)

Yer I'm aware of this, I have a sneaky feeling that if its a bolt in piece it's illegal ... Ill have to do more research lol.

Yer I get a lot of hate on for the series 2 wing? No idea why, I still have to series one wing sitting around in the shed lol

They were hecticly bad, literally got laughed at by SAU people lol

It's kinda hard to get a video as I can't "legally" drive it, I'll try and get some up soon.But it definitely does go

Hey hey hey... Don't be hating on my parts purchases, u never know when you'll need a natro rb25 with a spun bottom end lol

Mayb that is on purpose ... But no I'm a hoarder of car parts so I very rarely sell anything

Baha, take sneaky selfie and post so we can point and laugh... I'd say good morning tony but I know your not having one Just poweraid and macas it up

Suns up so yes it's Friday, also saw in yesterday's paper "winning streak on the line"... Well der every time you play it's on the line as if you lose it's no longer a streak is it

Ahhhh I'm at work I'm at work ohhh I'm at work

<<< *looks at my interests* nope

You killed it tony

Ole ole ole?

Obviously step one was getting all the old Nissan stuff out and test fit up what the GM motor looked like in the nissan bay which ended up with the car looking something likeeeee this: From there engine mounts were fabbed up and the trans tunnel lightly massaged to accommodate the 4Ls larger bell housing: Not long after the radiator was fitted and the gearbox crossmember fabricated under the car, at this stage a 3inch single piece tail shaft was ordered and turned up within a few weeks: Aparently I have no photos of the tail shaft but it looks like a tail shaft lol. We ran into issues with the fly by wire throttle body and eventually decided to convert it back to a cable throttle from a vt which intern ment a swap over to a vt ecu, we had this sent off to vengeance performance for what is basically a bandaid mail order tune until enough cash is there for a head and cam swap (and a decent tune) but for what it is it goes well A few weeks later the extractors were fabbed up as well as the rest of the system which consists of the headers into a y merge and then into a mandrel 3" system with a single four inch resonator and a 3" in twin 2 1/2 inch out rear muffler. As the gear box has been manualised a B&M pro ratchet shifter was purchased and installed into the existing r33 centre console, again more "massaging" of the factory stuff and it fitted up without two many complaints I know I've kinda crammed this all into a pretty short process but the general idea is there, the wiring was done by home grown kustoms in Toowoomba and as the car sits now is all mod plated up and ready to attack the mean streets of Toowoomba (as soon as I'm off these damn p plates) Future plans: *built 4l60e/th400 *Porter heads *Largish cam (something in the 23X range) + required accessories *obviously a retune *3200 stall *racepak dash *New coil overs as the current ones are stuffed ... The list is really endless, ill keep this thread up to date with how the car progresses

Pfft screw you guys .... Mines black and bright red and I love it, your car looks good man orange and black hell yeah

When i first purchased my r33 in November of 2010 it was in a somewhat sad state of affairs, faded (and in parts peeling) gunmetal paint covered the majority of its vulnerable body. The car itself was a 93 E-Ecr33 (that's right folks she's a type S ) and like all type S cars was powered by the non turbo variant of the rb25 and backed by the odd 5 speed auto jatco box. So in short it wasn't exactly a speed demon. It looked something like this when i picked it up (don't let the polish fool you the paint was bad): It wasn't long before i got sick of looking at the horrible flaking off paint and tool the car down to Steve at wrapture stylings and got him to wrap the top half of the car in black (god those rims are bad) After getting sick of being teased left right and centre by practically everyone for the dinner plate chromies (18x7 +43 ) I sourced a set of rims off boost cruising and a week later they were on the car (they look like Veilside Andrews, but are probley fake, I have no idea). Somewhere along the line I picked up a series 2 boot as well. A few months past and after over 220k and multiple trips past that 7k mark on the tacho the poor little rb screamed no more and decided to spin one of the big end bearings, the car remained stationary for over six months while trying to source an engine and after eventually finding one was transplanted into the car over a couple weekends (with more beer consumed then I'd like to think health and safety would approve of). *note nismo sticker for more killerwasps Using the forces of sheer luck the motor started and ran like a dream, this was followed shortly after with another trip down to Wrapture for a full body wrap in chilli red vinyl: Which brings us to September 2012, when after a trip home from power cruise resulted in a very blown up auto and me stuck in 3rd gear limping home, by this stage you can imagine my frustration with this car. But, this broken gearbox became the catalyst that would eventually result in "The Abomination" (as dubbed by SAU Qld) being built. Within weeks I had decided I was through breaking Nissan products and thought I'd start trying to break a few bits of GM gear instead. So it was off to eBay where I sourced a vz ls1 (which proved more costly then first imagined) and a 4l60e auto gearbox to be transplanted into my unsuspecting r33: *part two coming soon

Whoretown ^^^

DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DO
