Ok, so theoretically speaking.......

If you had a complete R33 gtst skyline at your disposal and a C210 coupe to play with what parts would you use off of the R33?

and how hard (or expensive) said parts would be to fit.

I have been scouring the net for info but most of it's a bit sketchy.

Cheers Dan

Honestly...motor and box is about all that's of use to you.

not much else will easily fit, even the diff is a right pain to swap in.

No piping(or very little of it) from the intercooler side of things will fit, so it will all have to be custom.

Front seat could be used but would require custom mounts/rails. much easier to buy aftermarket rails and seats.

So really, only motor and box.

that being said, its still worthwhile because comparatively the C210 weighs bugger all.

better yet, buy my rb26. :thumbsup:

cheers

front brakes only... rears arent even close.

and i dont know about the front swaybar, the front suspension design is entirely different with a single lca and macpherson strut(c210), and Double wishbone (R33)

cheers

ok thanks guys,

So S13 stuff seems to be the way to go for the rear suspension with r31 disc and calipers

What would be the best option for what will be pretty much a daily with maybe a track day thrown in.

I've got a set of the landcruiser/hilux calipers to go on the 240k struts with the vented verada rotors.

or should I use the r33 brakes on the 240k struts.

or get a set of s13 struts/coilovers for the front and use the r33 gear on those.

I'm not chasing anything to serious just want to utilise the best of what I've got to work with.

Would like to use the seats as making a set of rails should be fairly easy and free, I'm also thinking rack and pinion might be nice but also a major head f@#k but I'll look into that one.

You guys are a wealth of knowledge, thanks for sharing

cheers Dan

Yep, for the rear s13 coilovers and r31 brakes would be the go.

Not worth the effot to try and fit r33 brakes to 240k struts,

So either use your hilux set up

or change to s13 front coilover, hubs knuckle etc and use the r33 brakes on that. keeping in mind s13 set up will sit the car very low.

I know of a 240k running a s13 front swaybar, and gtr swaybars are a upgrade in a s13, so i reakon the r33 one should bolt up fairly easly. (may need custom link bars)

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.

      Car Rotisserie

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.

      Rb25det Belts Change

      Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.
