here is my little project.

this thread is my inspiration.

going slow, trying to get it prepared for paint, best i can with tools i got.

stripped all the paint out, and started from scratch, hopeful to get engine bay and boot done this weekend, and some brackets made to flip it over in the coming weeks to paint underneath.

more info in my garage.

I HATE PAINT...

is that the dmax boot spoiler you got on the back?

yep it is. looks pretty neat. i am also going to get a roof spoiler as i dont want to run a GT wing.

As far i i know D-Max stuff is getting scarce as the people i got this off had to change suppliers twice and then it was the only one they had. it seems that there is a lot of issues with D-max aus.

i seen recently that Viva garage sells the roof spoilers cheap as chips. much cheaper than D-max. even thoe the last Viva kit i got was worse than rubbish ill try them again.

(only thing that hasnt been touched is the sway bars.)

18" gold speedy ( Volk GTC copies) Mags

Sandard turbo but highflowed by GCG - Ball bearing 500hp

It pulled 183rwkw @ 13.5psi and had steady but rich AFRs, I have upped the boost to 15psi and its running sweet yet to dyno it on 15psi yet. I have R33 GTR 444cc injectors and Z32 afm waiting to go on once i obtain a Power Fc for the right price.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
