hey guys though ill post up my car build, its not a skyline but it shares a skyline motor :D

the car has been off road for bout 2 years, just simply gave up and left it sitting there, due to a defect notice :D

bur resently i put a hold on my vn ss project and pulled the car cover off the s13, and boy do i miss driving that car, it was my first car, so much love for it

when i first bought it (in 2006) it had a rb20 in it, that motor lasted about a year, then bought a stock series2 r33 half cut and got the motor out of it and droped it in, with in the first week of getting it running again with new motor , i copped a yellow sticker (defect notice) and smashed my diff as well, then depression started kicking in and just didnt want to deal with the car no more. untill now.

all the body work was done by previous owner, which he done a great job with and wont be changing the looks, maybe just a new bonnet, so ive been working on the motor and interior

brodie7- Cheers man, was gonna get a sr22det which made 600hp in jap land but the guy wouldnt want to part with it lol, but the rb25 is still good.

matt77- ok im gonna try to make this sound simple, keep in mines these are perth prices and this was about 2 years ago, so will vary if your not from here

R33 manual series 2 half cut- $2800

labour to do conversion-$1500

custom tailshaft-$700

suspension- came with car but go for around $800 second hand for tein's

diff-$650-700 for a second hand 2way

bosch 040 fuel pump $200 ish (new)

you would also need a cefiro crossmember, there probably around $200-$250 (only guessing), dont know what previous owner did to mine to make the rb20 fit

my car made (on stock turbo) 229.7rwhp (sumthing like that) on 10psi, catback exhaust,front mount cooler,pod, stock front/dump pipe with major hole (very bad leak), and had a flat spot from 3500rmp to 4500rmp (round there), but still went hard

abit pricey conversion but worth it, but you gotta remember you have to get your cluster (both km/h and rpm) recalibrated due to the the big gear box, and goin 6cylinder, also would need to run thermo fans too, hope that help, if you want more info let me know

cheers chris

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
