Hi Guys

Todays progress was, we custom mounted the R33 GTR Power Steering pump on the left hand side of the engine, directly under the alternator. This frees up space near the dry sump pump and the turbo, looks awesome pics coming soon.

Cheers

Benny

Serious car. It has got the best radiator known to man kind.

Cheers John

Its a very nice piece of craftsmanship, PWR did a awesome job top quality.

To answer some other peoples questions:

Yes there are no cutting corners here, yes its primarily setup up for drag racing, but this car will be a multi-purpose GTR, kinda gonna do what Signal Auto did with there R34, get a 8sec pass, then its only a matter of changing turbo,suspension and brakes and can quite easily change it to a time-attack car.

For the first few months it will be more a show car (we are trying to compare our car to the Garage Saurus Carbon R32 if thats possible!!!) then compete in some dyno comps, powercruises etc. Until we learn to drive it hahaha.

As for the Dry Sump Bracket, Mark at Godzilla Motorsport Fabricated Ours.

Progress of the car at the moment is we got a tiny delay, gotta modify the rear cradle lower arm mounts to allow better squat under hard launches, but we are slowly chipping away at it.

Stay Tuned more updates/pics coming soon.

Cheers

Benny.

Nah mate we are still ages away from being complete, might be going at the end of the year maybe!!! If we had a money tree we would be good lol!! slow and steady wins the race.

Cheers

Benny

Ha ha yeah know what thats like. Gotta fork out for a v88 ecu now lol. Still worth it but in my opinion. I love your 33 as well i have the issue its in and was reading about it. Looks nice and sounds like it would poke along alright as well lol. Anyway keep it up mate and hopefully i will see you cruising around soon.

Hi guys

Another update for ya's, as of today the intercooler piping is being welded up, the rear cradle has been modified and is being put back together in the car and the big PWR Radiator we bought did not fit in the factory location cause of the dry sump pulley so we cut the lower cross member out and is not mounted under to top cross member.

In case you are curious as to why we modified the cradle, here's why:

-The lower control arm angle on the R32's is something like 13 degree's higher at the front, which can bind up the suspension under hard launches causing tramping, which can also cause the driveshafts to be on harsh angles, then snap the CV's. So we cut the front mount off and re-welded in the same position on the R33's.

-The R33's and R34's had this modification done from factory, if you look under your car the rear lower control arm is fairly flat. (Well it is on my R33)

Heres so updated pics:

Cheers

Benny

Hi guys

Has anyone ever bought the Adel Wiggins Intercooler Clamps before, i bought a 3" and a 4" off Rocket Ind, and charged me $600 for the two. Anyway they rocked up at home and guess what? It only came with the clamps and not the weld-on adapters like i asked for, rang them back up today and they said they wanted another $500 for the adapters, FFAARRKK. So i told them to bash it up there arse i'm not paying $1100 for 2 F*#king clamps (excuse the language). So probably gonna try out the Gas Motorsport Clamps.

Cheers

Benny

    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
