Hey mate,

Not sure where i was up to. Last time we took it out the stocko gearbox was finally giving up the goast. Mike from MV Automatics is just about finished the new Power Glide, built to handle big power, transbraked with all the goodies... we should be hopefully have it in the car and running this weekend. For the time being ive been focusing most of my efforts on finishing off the new fully enclosed trailer for the car.

With the new box, were hoping for some sort of sub 10sec pass, just how far were not sure yet. At the moment were looking into getting the offset changed on the rear rims to sit further under the guards and allow a taller tyre as we have effectively run out of speed in the top end. this combined with a 3.9 auto diff gears and raising the rev limiter should hopefully give us enough MPH to stop hitting the rev limiter before the line.

We will also be putting the chute on this weekend as with the extra mph we will be getting very close if not passed the 140mph parachute req'd mark.

Plans for the new engine are slowly coming together, but money is a little tight as usual with most around chrissy time, but i have been doing a lot of research and plans include:

VH45DE:

Custom Rods

Custom Pistons

Nitrided & Balanced Crank

Decked and O ringed block

ACL head gaskets

ARP headstuds and rod bolts

Port and Polished heads oversized valves

N13 GTiR Valve Springs

Custom Manifold

and the blower?? dollars permitting a PSI blower (same as what the fuelers run but a little smaller)

but yeah nothing to new yet, hopefully ill be able to report back next week with some new killer times, either that or ill be crying that i have destroyed the rear cradle in the car which is about to get a whole heap of reinforcement this weekend aswell. will try take a few more piccies of everything as it comes along.

saaaa-weeet

sub 10 sec pass on a stock internals engine is a bloody good acheivment

has it still got the original driveline (ie driveshaft and diff) - i would have thought that it gave up (specially the diff) long b4 u made a 10 sec pass

ohh - would a roots type blower work? or would that require a lot of custom fabrication

or is the PSI blower a roots type blower?

Edited by usherly

The diff is a nismo 2 way, and seems to be coping fine with the power, Try 09's skyline years ago still ran a standard turbo diff to get to where it did. Drive shaft stilll has the standard uni's and center bearing just adapted at the front to fit the infinity box. When the new driveshaft goes in it will be a beefed up condierably and if possibly, length permitting a one peice unit.

The PSI blowers a basically a roots style blower but require almost no horsepower to turn them. You can spin the pulley on the front back and forth without breaking a sweat which you simply cannot do on a weiland/holley/littlefield style roots blower.

nice - so does this mean supercharger poking out of the bonnet?

sounds like a pretty decent setup and plans for the driveline

Thats exactly what it means :ninja:

Well gearbox left adelaide yesterday on express freight so i should see it late this arvo or tomorrow some time, then it will be rush down to hardy and spycer to get the tailshaft made and a full weekend at the workshop, fitting and making new bits and hopefully we'll be out next weds or sat or both if there on at the Test and Tunes scaring myself again, getting excited now!!

Gearbox finally arrived today, looks awesome, will dummy it up in the car tonight so i can measure the drive shaft and send that off to be made tomorrow, getting really excited now...

haha, yeah. Bloody thing doesnt fit... have to trim some little wing things off it on the side near the back of the pan. Parachute and gearbox fitting on sunday, them some skids.. and then drags on wedensday, farken crazy excited!!

2 speed glide, tube fram front end has gone on hold until at lest the end of this season, we dont want to make to many changes to the car at any one time so we can keep track of how each change effects, advatages, or disadvatages the car and then go from there.

    • You have found the problem. The wire from the switch to the HB is shorted to earth. Now you have to physically find it and replace it. It won't be the switch, although following the steps above (and yes, where you ask, that is the light switch on the RHS of the binnacle) will rule it out for sure. Or not, if perhaps the switch has melted. But there's no route to earth inside the switch, so I can't see how it would.
    • I did read your post, a few times actually.    Done. Followed this step. [Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.]   Did this partially.. now that im reading this over, i only unplugged the LED lights. [Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches.] When you are talking about the switch, you're talking about the knob thing on the right side in the drivers seat right? If so, i need to take that apart?  [Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch.] At this point are you referring to the connector by the headlights?  [If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.] Did this. I can confirm that the LED lights aren't the issue [Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.]
    • Hey was wondering if you ended up installing the R33 GTR speed sensor - I found one too and wanted to confirm it's a direct swap into the R34 6 speed?
    • After 23 years of owning a Skyline, finally had the latch go.  Followed this guide,  works like a dream again. Great Guide 👍
    • Hi all,   I’ve got the biggest lot of problems with my R33 GTS-T   It was a freshly rebuilt 25th anniversary RB25DET (plastic cas, neo cams) probably 6 years ago now   The engine was running so well but I fkd up badly and trusted someone I’d known for 10 years that was well known around Plazmaman for his welding and fab work. I added a lovely photo of some of his previous work. Not sure why my car was worked on by whoever did this shit     I’m normally someone who would never open myself up to something like this, I still can’t believe I did it. Trusting him literally fkd it all up for me. Everything has been a struggle, like it’s almost been 6 years that’s how much I’ve just on and off been trying to work it all out.    All I wanted was a car that danced down low, like full boost from around 3~3500rpm to redline, don’t really care what power it puts down (if it ever does) but I just wanted it to be quick to get on it.    He recommended the turbo to get, I picked Hypergear but he told me to get the front 4” with a T4 and 0.68 rear housing.    I was expecting all these beautiful welds, tidy fab work and paid for it to be ready to go to a tuner when I got it back.    I got a car back that was an absolute mess, I actually couldn’t believe it was my car anymore. I don’t think you could even call what he did welds, they’re disgusting.    So I stripped everything he touched off it and with every bolt I loosened it just got worse and worse.    I covered it and literally built and finished another car in the meantime but now it’s getting to the point where I really want my Skyline back.   Its a struggle because I paid him to do all this shit because I didn’t know how to and now I’ve had to try and figure it all out omg    Please excuse the bird shit horrible welds, I’ve got my show pony car and am so beyond dealing with this car I don’t even really care at this point.    If someone told me about what he did to my car I wouldn’t have believed them but it happened to me. It was unbelievable. He went missing, my car went missing, it came back missing parts, the straight af chassis rails bore the scars of being dragged up a trailer backwards, even the sandwich plate was bent. Everything was leaking and open to whatever fell into it, rounded off/ missing bolts, power steering oil and coolant everywhere, no gaskets, parts stolen off it, even managed to damage the sump pan.   Promised me he’d finish the car, knew what it meant to me, I paid him thousands and thousands just for him to trash it. He told me he was fully licensed and insured, come to find out he’d cancelled his ABN, so obviously no insurance. I had laid up insurance on the car and would’ve been covered but I was scared they would’ve written it off or because the business was no longer trading I’d still be liable.    He was supposed to:  New fully custom mild steam pipe exhaust manifold with turbo location moved from factory position to high forward mount. (I don’t know if it is a mild steam pipe, I’ve got a funny feeling the waste gate isn’t in a very good position and I don’t think the outlets off each cylinder are equal) 4” custom stainless steel dump with external gate (he re-plumbed it) Cut and shut OEM intake manifold with throttle reposition (I ended up doing the throttle reposition) Box in pod filter (left out) New 100cel catalytic converter (pretty sure it’s there but unsure if it’s 100cel) Front mount intercooler piping fabricated to suit (all smashed up and rusty holes where he was supposed to make it look standard where fmic piping passes through. I don’t even think my front bar is going to fit 🙄) Custom 5” intake pipe from pod to turbo (didn’t come with it so had to do something to make it work with the Z32 afm)   Engine: Full cylinder head service & machining  Brand new valves Precision upgraded spring kit Engine block honed New bearings  New piston rings  New ARP conrod bolt kit New ARP head studs Cometic head gasket VRS kit   ATR43SS2 ball bearing turbo 0.68 rear housing  Turbosmart 45mm external wastegate (got delivered to the fab bloke, I’ve got no idea what spring is in it, I’m assuming the one that came pre installed) Walbro 260 fuel pump  Nismo 740cc injectors (tested to 880) Spitfire coil packs GCG FMIC RB25DET manual 5 speed 4:11 rear diff   I’ve got an Apexi Power FC in it atm, I was hoping to just get it to operating temp to make sure everything was okay before towing to a tuner but it’s over-fuelling too much. I don’t think that’s going to happen so i think I’m going to get either a Link G4 or Haltech for it. What do you guys recommend? I can’t work out the power FC so just gonna give up on that one     It’s got an exhaust leak coming from somewhere I can’t see 🙄    The fuel pressure was steady but now it like drops from 40 to 20psi randomly (noticed this yesterday)    I’ll attach pics of the shit he put on my car and the engine bay now as it sits    I really just need some help, I need a tuner in Sydney I can trust, I’d like to be with the car while it’s being tuned if possible, I know it looks terrible but unfortunately I’ve just got to put up with it for now and fix the cosmetic stuff later   Do you guys think the manifolds are going to be okay? Or do I throw the exhaust manifold and try again?   I don’t even think these combinations are going to work tbh   I know everything I fitted was rated to be able to take at least 400kW but most rated higher    If you’ve gotten this far I really really appreciate it 🙏 I don’t mind if you trash me or the car, I made a rookie error and f**k I’ve paid for it. As you’ll see 🙄
