Veilside R33

Hi all. All parts have just been sold to a local member. Thanks.

Big dollar, yes (unfortunately). Show car, no. But will look clean and the goal is an 8 second pass in street trim.... meaning it may be an completely different box altogether in the end, anyway.

Taking to a recommended transmission specialist today. It all needs to come apart anyway as the gears will be replaced with either a Getrag or PPG box. Agree that sandblasting looks good, but for the level of build we're doing it needs to be coated. The entire underbody (subframes, arms, diff, etc) has been stripped and will be coated while the car's on the rotisserie for paint. Thanks mate. Getting it done this week... professionally ?

@Duncan @GTSBoy and one final question. I think my skills may have now outrun the requirement. I need to remove the part circled in blue (for powdercoating) and it seems to me that the way to do that probably requires a bunch of bearings (in the red area) will need to be pulled. Does that sound right? might be time to admit defeat and take it to the mechanic.

Got them out! Thanks guys. Any thoughts on removing this unit? Have all the 12mm’s out. Now looks like there’s a large central hex bolt and 2 star shaped bolts to go, if I’m right. Don’t have either of those bits unfortunately.

Awesome! That was my suspicion. Got the one facing the bell housing out using a skinny drill bit and tapping it with a hammer. Rear facing one isn’t having any of it though. Persistence? Any other major hurdles you’re aware of for the rest of the tear down? @Duncan @GTSBoy

Hey guys, Nearing the final stages of stripping my R32GTR transmission before blasting and powder coat (then new gearbox). Mostof the hard work is done, but I’m stuck getting the casing separated from the gears (bell housing is already off). See pics below - basically the 2 metal pieces which attach to/form part of the shifting mech are stopping me from sliding the gears out in both directions as they’re hitting the housing. I can’t work out how to remove them so the gears can be removed. Anyone have experience doing this? It looks like there might be pins through them, but not sure if that’s unrelated. Thanks, Andrew.

Hey Hayden. Just sold these. Will amend the ad now. Sorry for the inconvenience. Andrew.

Bump. Price drop on -5’s to $1900.

Yes mate. Just texted you.

I’ve got one Richard.

Had a good look through the amayama and nengun links today and they'll give me exactly what I need. Everything is still fresh in my memory from the strip down, so I can just look at the exploded diagrams and I know which bolts I need (erm, all of them). Thanks again everyone!

Big fan of zinc plating and I'll be doing it on a few parts (hood catch assembly etc) but most of the bolts aren't in perfect condition and my OCD and the level of build quality I'm aiming for won't let me do it *sigh*

Given the difficulty in getting their specific dimensions, I’d be happy with new oem, if FAST can facilitate it. Haven’t used the system before, so I’ll check it out.

Yeah, I noticed that along the way. It’s all (thankfully) very generic, so it’ll likely mean cracking the code for the few reoccurring types, then working out the specs for the outliers.

Thanks for all the input, guys. I have access to other 32’s, so I can get the specs from there. I’ve kept everything under the car from the front cradle back, so that’ll be fine and everything engine related will be new anyway, so that won’t matter. I’ll make a list of all the relevant dimensions and their locations, then post the list here for others in the future. There will only be more people wanting to do complete nut and bolt resto’s moving forwards.

Thanks! How would I then match up the numbers? i.e. is there another online resource which then gives the info on the specs, or would I need to go to Nissan with the numbers?

Hey all, I'm currently underway with a complete nut and bolt re-build of my R32. The car is now fully stripped. 30 years of driving and weather meant that almost every bolt under the car was as good as welded on and required/will benefit from replacement. Breaker bar ftw. I've downloaded the workshop manual, which is great in terms of displaying every part (including every nut and bolt and their nm specs. Handy.) but it doesn't show their dimensions (thread gauge, length, socket size etc). Do we know if there's any resource which lists this information? Similar to the workshop manual, I'd ideally like to be able to look at a schematic, note all the bolts I'll need, then buy them. Please don't assume I was diligent enough to keep each nut and bolt and list their location, so I could refer back to them. They're all in the bin and let's just put that down to my stupidity and impatience. I have, thankfully, properly photographed, listed and numbered all of the parts, but the bolts escaped my attention. Off the back of that, does anyone have any sources they can recommend for purchasing very high quality nuts and bolts (e.g. Wurth etc). As always, thanks in advance for your advice. Andrew.

Crap, sorry. $2,100.

Hi all,For sale are my 2 immaculate Garrett 2860R-5’s from my R32GTR. I’ve taken one apart to show the condition of the turbine (first pic).https://gcg.com.au/petrol-performance/performance-3/turbochargers-garrett-t-gt-series/garrett-gt2860r-turbocharger-aka-gtr-5-s-detailTurbos are only a few thousand km’s old (never tracked or stressed) and have been delivering an easy 330kw with a very nice power curve.Only reason for sale is I’m going for a much bigger power build with a big single.These are currently retailing for $3,200 new.I also have custom titanium dump pipes and a full 3.5” exhaust, if you’re interested.Available for pickup in Canberra or Castle Hill or can happily ship at buyers expense.Thanks,Andrew.

Clutch price drop to $490.

ECU Sold. Clutch still for sale.

Hey all, Just took out my Xtreme clutch from my R32. Love this clutch and it hasn’t had more than a couple thousand km’s put on it and car hasn’t been driven hard. Beautiful to drive, feels very easy, but has heaps of bite when required. Easily handled 330kw and is only being changed due to impending 1000+hp build. $650. I’m based in Canberra, but travel to Sydney monthly, so it can be collected from Castle Hill.

Hey all, for sale is my Link G4+ GTRLink Full specs can be found here: https://www.motorsportwiring.com.au/product-page/link-g4-plugin-nissan-r34-gtr-skyline I had this professionally installed very shortly before taking the car off the road and stripping for a rotisserie respray. Would put it back in, but the new build requires a Motec. Unit is back in its original box and ready for its new owner. Great computers and currently retailing for $1,900. Selling for $900 and it’s literally the exact same thing. I’m based in Canberra, but travel to Sydney at least once a month, so it can also be collected from a Castle Hill if preferred. Thanks, Andrew.

Hey all, Have a bunch of aftermarket parts from my 32GTR, in preparation for its respray: Full 3.5inch turbo back exhaust.
