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.

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

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
