The Skyline Shop 33 Build

[youbUTEy]

so, i bought this car a couple of months ago, with the idea that it would be the next project car.

its going to be a track only car and i have de registered it.

first things first, up on the dyno to have a look.

190rwkw on stock everything, not to bad.

then after saving up for a while ad working out what i needed and what i wanted i took the car to the shed, and took it apart.

i bought a new turbo, manifold, computer, injectors, coils, and a rolling dyno tuning program, and im in the process of putting all of that on to see how it goes.

(yes my girlfriends sister had a party in the shed)

and to the inside, i ripped out all of the interior stuff, sound deadening, roof lining, air con, heater, carpet, rear seats, seatbelts, gutted the dash, removed lots of wiring, most of the dash and i am making a custom alloy one.

here are some progress pics.

and tomorrow hopefully get the new dash finished

so thats my liner so far, ill keep this updated as i do things.

feel free to comment

[youbUTEy]

well i dont know yet, but ill be sure to post the dyno sheets when i get it done.

im getting the exhaust this week so anytime after that hopefully i can get a good tune

[GUN_METAL_GTR32]

is that a slush box i see ???

y not go for a manual or r u goin the shift kit route???

[youbUTEy]

yeah when i bought the car thats what was in it, and as i live way out west its not just a matter of picking up another box and swapping it in.

the car is going on a train at the end of the year and heading back to brisbane so ill do a man conversion in the new year.

there just isnt the facilities to do it here

on that note, before the car gets back to bris i am stuck with the auto box, how much can they handle stock?

thats quite a project you got going there! wish i could do that sort of stuff!

haha one day

[youbUTEy]

took a lil 1 minute video of the car at idle today, just making sure that everything was allright and in working order lol

[AzN]

How much did you buy the car for? How many KM's has it done?

[youbUTEy]

i swapped a vy s ute for it with $1000 my way

and it had done 120XXX

[AzN]

LOL the other guy got a VERY good deal!

[youbUTEy]

not really, the ute was extreamly tired and needed an awful lot of work to bring it back up to scratch, and he knew that so i was more then happy with the trade

hey mate nice car. what ecu are you running? in regards to auto box i have a vr commodore with a rb25 in it (just a fun little project) with auto and was asking the same question. ive seen 330rwhp with stock auto no trans cooler. i ran a big trans cooler and also got onto MV AUTOS and bought a manuilesed shift kit for r33 auto box. they shift harder and obviously manualised. around $300 i think it was. i am hoping that the box will see above 360rwhp with that setup.

[youbUTEy]

hey mate thats really interesting. could you maybe pm me with any info you have about the box?

i was more going down the manual conversion road, but in the meantime i want the auto to hold up while i take it to the strip!

cheers
