Project Skylines

[tir31]

thought was time i put some pics and info up on my projects...

my s3 ti bought around 03/04 was a stockish family car at the time, done alot 2it over the years ands its still my main drive car. runs the original 285k old rb30e with gts2 cam, custom manifolds, gt35/40, ems 6860 and makes a reliable 330rwhp @15psi thru an rb25style box and 3" t.shaft. has bilsteins alround with kmac springs,cusco tops, whiteline swaybars, adj panhard and radius rods, strut bar, urathanes, hr front struts with 324mm brembo rotors with r32 gtst calipers, hr booster/master and atm ozspec crossdrill/sloted rear brakes with lsd diff, wheels are superstar 19x8.5 and 9.5 +8,+15 235/35, 265/30. future plans is a built motor looking for 450rwhp and a nissan h233 diff conversion shortend with clutchpack lsd and bigger rear brakes to match front...

my gts2 no.183 bought 06, engine n interior is stock, fitted new bilsteins n fr tops (thanks cazz), kmac springs, whiteline rear swaybar, strut bars fr/rr, adj panhard and radius rods, urathanes, r32 gtst front brakes with oz crossdrill slotted rears, runs 10mm spacers allround also. ive recently fitted 18x8 work eurolines 2pac'd white with 235/40's which i think look awsm but dont have pics handy atm. future plans is a repaint, fit front spotties, and maybe engine work see what happens as i just wish it was faster haha

my r31 wagon bought 2yrs ago after almost buying an s2 stagea. was completly stock s3 executive. fitted pedders gsr's, kmac springs, cusco fr tops, whiteline swaybars, strut bar, adj panhard and radius rods, urathanes, lsd diff, hr front struts and boost/master, r33t fr brakes, wheels are advanti 19x8.5 235/35. not yet fitted is ti wiring loom with everything, passage black/silver seats (rear fabric swapover), door cards (need modding to top), carpet, black dash/console. future plans are get it rego'd than turbo the rb30e + manual conversion

my dr30 got this1 in 08 its an 83 but undergoing iron mask front and maybe s2 rear but undersided on that, so kinda series 1.5 atm. i bought it with a fresh forged fj20 with microtec but stock .48 turbo,exhaust and 1jz cooler had 230 rwhp in that form, also had battery in boot but otherwise basicly standard not mucked with. downside : standard driveline, brakes and suspension which realy needed upgrading. ive since fitted bilsteins upfront to hr31 struts converted to kings compact springs with cusco tops (not yet machined for more camber) and strut bar, whiteline r31 fr swaybar, hr31 hicas rear swaybar, s13 tein rear coilovers, b pillar floor bar, z31 5stud hubs with r33 gtr brembo rotors/calipers and 1 1/16" master cyl on r30 s2 booster, hr31 Aarms internal handbrake, 3.9 ratio clsd r200 with large capacity cover and 4 bolt shafts. wheels are work vs-ss 18x8 and 9 +18,+13 225/40, 235/40. interior is bride seats not sure wether im retaining the rear yet. not yet fitted is rb25style box, 3" single t.shaft, custom manifolds, gt35/40, 660 injectors, 600x300 cooler, ems ecu and new exhaust etc. hoping for 350ish rwhp? i want to move the motor back slightly which ill look at when gearbox getting done.

future plans are fit iron mask bonnet and lower spoiler, paint car lower half black with DOHC turbo decals, paint wheel centers gold, lower the front abit more. ( rears fully wound down in pic but itl come up abit... ) braided lines throughout.

last but not least is the c210 coupe i bought this yr. needs alot of body work but its original paint n panels so nothing hiding which is good i guess. ive fitted converted hr31 struts upfront with compact tein springs, cusco tops (also need machining like the dr) bilstein inserts, front strut bar, rear bilsteins with cusco springs and tops, hr31 hicas swaybars fr and rr, b pillar bar, r30 s2 booster with r33 master, r33 clutch master (required for booster clearance) r33 calipers and r.rotors, r32 gtr fr rotors, 3.9 ratio r200 clsd diff with 4bolt shafts, r30 rear Xmember, hr31 Aarms. wheels are rays 17x8 and 9 +31 with 10mm spacers upfront 225/45 and 235/45. with the hr31 struts and Aarms it gained ruffly 20mm front track and 30mm rear give or take. gearbox is an r32 turbo 5sp with mod'd Lseries bellhousing. ive got a 910 bluebird single piece shaft which will need shortning, both ends are right. engine will more than likely be a bored/stroked Lseries 4cyl with efi turbo which ive already got from my old 720 hence the L4 head on L6 bottom i did for positioning purposes. the thought of an rb30et crosses my mind alot but think i will run the L4 as ive got everything to doit and its somewhat more original and oldschool cool. the capacity is 2341cc (92mm stroke, 90mm bore) so 50ish cc short of the original L6 but lighter and cheaper rego. will require engine mounts and a sort thru my various Lsumps to see what works. i have an ems Qi4 setup with a ca18 crank angle sensor on a custom adaptor which fits were the dizzy is and m&w coil packs, 550cc injectors, L18e intake and hks t3 manifold shown in pic and the old t3/4 turbo off my ti. hoping for 250 rwhp at around 15psi with this setup. not heaps but should be fun.

plans are repaint in white, black wheel centers, jdm round chrome tailights, fender mirrors, chin spoiler, jap GT badges so yeah after the jdm look. hr31 seats already in there with black interior to match...

ill try get pics and updates up as they come 2gether but its a long road haha

Nice cars ! I think you may possibly have an addiction............

Hey Jon, you got that nissan fever mate!

First time I have seen a wagon with the S3 front on it, liiks SHMICKO!

And that C210 has changed hands like 4 times in the last year or so hey? i got most of what was under the bonnet here in my garage (thanks to silent shadow)

The DR lookes like it will be a pearler, good stuff! (I am going iron mask front, but standard bonnet...)

[mastadd]

wow all those cars have really great wheels!(except the wagon lets the team down!) 5 stud conversion on the DR looks fantastic.

The HR31 seats in the c210 look great too,

would be a fair bit better than the original ones i would think. any idea on how hard it was to fit them in?

[jrh001]

Hi Jon,

Impressive collection. I imagine that heaps time, effort and $'s has gone into those cars.

However...

Car(s): 3xr31,2xr30&1xc210 coupes

[Ghostrider]

That rear diff cover was from the FJ20 JDM S12 or Z18 S12 from memory, but you can get a similar thing off the later model short nose viscous diffs for under $100 on ebay

[tir31]

[rb27dets14]

love the older skylines

[Silent Shadow]

are you a brizzy local mate? would love to chat sometime about how you did some of those mods to the c210.

[Factory 5]

Hey what is that piping yuo have used on the intake on the Ti???

[tir31]

im out at ipswich so yeah no probs...

intake on the ti is 4" rubber flex can be had at truck parts etc high temp rated, previous setup i had for years was a t/4 on vlt cast manifold used same stuff and never had a prob.
