Engine bay pics? or pics of the car? Outside looks pretty much like any skyline, except blue badges and for the R34 different factory front bar.

I made a start on modifying the engine cover to fit, still needs more work trimming and smoothing, but still looks far better than ntohing at all! The DE NEO's are pretty ugly underneath it all. Had to make a custom bracket though, which is something temporary at the moment made up from leftover FMIC kit brackets and a combination of bolts and nuts which worked out quite well considering :) The heatshield is something I cut up from the ACL heatshield material, and has made a significant difference! Intake pipe and silicon bend is no longer scorching hot after a drive, but rather just warm. seems to be sustaining power for longer before heatsoak becomes an issue :P Eventually I'll do a few more things to make the engine bay look a bit nicer/neater.

Well I'm only running 7PSI, but compared to N/A it's good to have some decent power! Holding up well, been 5 months now since the conversion.

Here's a few shots I took tonight in high sensitivity mode on my cybershot.. not the clearest photos but I like slow shutter without flash :(

Thats really nice nathan,neatest conversion i have ever seen

Thanks :happy: It's getting there, work in progress. Dan's conversion has to be one of the neatest I've seen actually, but he didn't have FMIC piping going over the radiator. FMIC piping over the radiator already looks messy IMO.

Only around 160rwkw at the moment but that's on 7PSI and with an auto transmission. That particular Dyno has been known to report around 10kw under, and sometimes up to 20kw in some cases, but power figures are only numbers, what matters is the driveability and reliability of that power figure. It's easy to make more power really, all whats needed is more boost, but everything one step at a time. Trying to make more use out of power already there at the moment, which is why I've started with the heatshield, airbox, and next up a cold air feed. Once I'm satisfied with the keeping temps down side of things, then I'll look at either stage 2 shift kit and autotrans service complete with transmission fluid cooler (try to eliminate flaring, speed up the shifts and get the existing power to the wheels more efficiently and without overheating the gearbox); or an EBC. My tuner reckons that my R33 turbo is good for up to 12PSI, though I'm not sure if I'd run it that high as yet, not with a used R33 turbo. But 12PSI with an EBC should see it making some sweeet power, which admittedly I am craving for lol

I have been drifting my r32 rb25de+t for the past 2 years, prior to the conversion i rebuilt the engine and fitted a 1.8mm cometic headgasket, lowering the compression ratio just enough.

After a decent run in period i bolted up the Garret 3071R and external gate and after going through 3 rb20 boxes it fitted a rb25 box and a once piece tailshaft.

But she's good for up to 400hp running just 1 bar of boost... rb25de+t engine all the way man. :happy:

Theres a thread here of the conversion in progress.

Finished product here on tunersine article.

Very nice Tiff! Loving that R32! Done an awesome job with it, well done!

Just so you know, we have a thread just for N/A+t power results, would love to see the results there! Good to see another N/A+t conversion that's come out good :happy:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/N-...-N-t249186.html

210RWKW off 9.5PSI, RB25DE+T, FMIC, 3" exhuast stock 33 ecu & injectors, highflow T3.

2500rpm full boost. Because of the high compression, it makes more power per PSI boost, so 210rwkw with no R&R (used to R&R after 10PSI though)

Next thing I'm hoping to add on is something along the lines of a TD06-20g or possibly something like a 3076r... will have to forge as well to turn up boost anymore, for piece of mind...

Great to see more and more de+t's!

cheers mate, ur car has sprung up looking the goods! interior took me 5 days, 9 layers, 4 different spray cans... but its pretty scratch proof now, which is what I really wanted.

and the engine looks nice because this was at a show and shine so gave it a clean before I came :laugh:

btw, to clean up and polish all the metal bits in ur engine bay to finish of the rest of the good looks, I use this stuff... U can get it at any autobarn...

works a treat!

yeah that stuff is liquid gold :laugh:

I decided to get a handwash and polish done today at the Carwash Cafe place in Mt Gravatt. Just wanted to get it looking nice for the charity cruise tomorrow.

So here I go whoring this thread again :( Same location, same method.

(ps. I really need to get out and take photos before it's completely dark lol)

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
