My Impul R33-R Project

[045HOW]

Had a drama with the paint that was done on the front bar by the Repair shop as the paint wasn't a good colour match so they did it again.

So finally got it done due to rain holding it back and then got my front numberplate finally put in its final resting place:)

So time came to sort out my Clutch Master as it really wasn't loving life. Was going to cost $120 to recondition my current one or $140 for a new one of which the Boss of the Clutch shop divulged was actually a brand new Clutch Master for a D22 Navara because his son had done an RB25DET conversion on his Navara and he noticed they were the same one. This information relating to the fact most parts for Imports aren't listed, As is the case with a part number for an R33 Clutch master Cylinder. So what do i do? I hit up a mate at a 4X4 wrecking yard for a second hand D22 Navara Clutch Master Cylinder. Got myself a 2010 D22 Navara Clutch Master Cylinder with only 8000KM on it for $35 LOL.

Just had to change over the rod and hey presto

D22 Master is the clean one obviously.

All done.

Got a random photo of my Impul Swaybar

Time came to get my front Calipers painted and front Rotors Machined(Slightly warped). Took it into my mates workshop and he sorted it out

Someone chose the absolute worst colour of blue to paint the Calipers and Rotors lol.

Onto the Rotor Machine.

And add Silver paint midway

Finished product

Ugly.

They call it "Real Red" for a reason aha.

Mate used a Gasket remover to take the paint off the Nissan.

Caliper bolts get Silver Paint for the added touch.

Clips get the Metho treatment.

Finished Product.

So at this Juncture i state that i will hopefully be getting the rear Rotors and Calipers Painted this week along with Royal Purple going in my engine and then that's its for a long time. Karratha calls for me.

Cheers to everyone that appreciates this thread and Vehicle.

This build is the fruits of me and my best mates efforts

None of this could have been done without the Help,Work,effort,knowledge,Car-space,Equipment and time put in by Jarod. Cheer-Bro

Have a good one people.

Sorry dude, i don't live in Beenleigh anymore lol Plus my commodore driving days are long gone now!

I'll get another import, but, considering i live in a unit the size of a shoe box and have no garage, im in no real rush to be getting anything. But im really really starting to dig 4 door 33's. Might be looking into something like this at the of the year, if all else goes to plan that is lol So until then ill stay up till the late hours of the night looking at other peoples money pits lol

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo i sorta never posted my trip to the dyno for a tune. Total woops on my part.

PFC picked up an intermittent random problem with my CAS in the higher range which halted the tune being pushed any further. realistic figure of 174rwkw on 12.5psi on a hot day with a CAS problem.

Tune is quite linear compared to the stock R33 tune. Feels more like a stock R34 tune but still a bit more fun to drive.

Will need to get a new CAS in the future and get some sort of Re-tune (As to whether it will be a bit of a tinker or a full retune is unknown)

Love your work mate. Looks unreal a little known fella here on the goldy luke fink has one forsale I think his was the first I've ever seen then stumbled across yours love the gunmetal grey looks great with the impul swaybars and all the other stuff would you say it handles better than a normal 4 door? I'm not going to buy a 2 door ever again love the 4 doors truley converted hehe.

4 door has a 20mm larger rear overhang same wheelbase and same underbody setup as a 2 door. Handles exactly the same as a 2door.

I disagree. I have owned 2 4 doors and 1 2 door. 2 door seems more snappy and unpredictable when you cut loose whereas 4 door seems easier to control. Weight is in different areas and 4 door is heavier along with shape of roof and height and whatever. My lowered 4 door still had a higher roof than my 2 door on stock suspension.

Yeah mate living in Karratha. Impul is over east. Will give it some time and maybe get a respray and a new crank angle sensor then prob get it trained to Perth and then bring it up.

Right now im rocking out with a 3k AU Falcon lol.

You drive yours much? around these parts?

[10 4]

3k AU Falcons are so much fun!

*May be from experience...

Was that you driving towards the LIA in Karratha at about 7 minutes past 3 today (Friday)?

Saw it briefly going the other way but my first split second glance was "GTR!" aha. Looks awesome. If it wasnt you would it have been your mate?

[JDM33]

It probably was my mate unless it looked like this which I doubt cos I was at work hahaha. It will be up for sale soon if you know anyone that's interested

[045HOW]

Aha i dont even wanna know what a Series 3 GTR tastefully done would cost in the Pilbara
