When you say reconditioned would that be rebuilt or just freshened up because $110 is hell cheap I got quoted $150 for rebuilding.

Now if only anyone knew where to get the ac compressor rebuilt I'd be set.

I was quoted $280 to $380 for full rebuild (bearings (which are noisy on mine), rewind, regulator, brushes). They said the regulator part was $120 on its own.... I know with some of the bosch alterators the regulator is mounted externally and contains the diode pack and brushes - no idea if the nissan ones are integrated like that since they're internal, but for you guys getting $110-150 quotes i'd like to know what that covers.

WRT to air con rebuild, there's no rebuild kits left for R32 GTR so the only choice is new from Nissan. I dont know if 33 GTST is in the same boat but there was a group buy for re-gas a while ago - Frosty Auto Air, Bass Hill, 0418 608 680 - he rebuilds and he was the one that told me the 32 rebuild kits are all gone. He does good work.

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
