There was a thread about this on the SDU forums, Reece has "apparently" put a tube front end on his T51R powered GTR, and that run was done shutting down because his bonnet flew off.

Croydon's have sold there car to someone in the U.S. too, "apparently".

Welcome to 2 months ago.

It's all hearsay. Nothing official. It all happened at an unofficial test 'n tune, with too many stupid variables like bonnets flying up mid-run and the rest.

And the car was the Heat Treatments GTR.

i know this is a stupid question but can someone please explain what a tube front end is ??? i am being serious here
They cut the front of the chassis off and replace it with a tube frame... said car ceases to be a "factory" car.

      I chose a bad time to buy, at the time there was no gtst's for sale in NSW and my options were qld, vic, or sa and not the greatest examples or too far out of my budget. Ended up picking this one from adelaide sight unseen and got a bit stitched up as you could expect but i dont fully regret it, its just a shame people cant be more transparent in this day and age.

      IMO just buy a whole R33 transmission and swap the whole thing. Use a palm nailer/air hammer with a roll pin punch to drive the shifter rod end roll pins out. The rod end is discontinued so don't break it. Use gasket dressing on the OEM paper gasket instead of RTV. I personally would not pry on the shifter cover tabs, I broke one trying that instead of just smacking the side with a dead blow rubber mallet to shock it loose from the RTV the last mechanic applied. If you can't get the flanges totally clean and free of any residual RTV and/or you might have a gap that is bigger than it should due to flange damage use RTV on that surface instead of the OEM specced anaerobic sealer. Anaerobic sealer is most likely the right sealant for the job, it's just too easy to mess it up with too large a gap or bad surface prep/roughness seemingly. If you do rebuild what you have it's for a whole gearset that can take high torque. Don't bother with OEM at that point.

      Warning this hidden hose almost destroyed my RB25DET

      Little hose. Big hose. They're all waiting to kill the engine.

      Realistic Injector/kW Limits on E50 & E85

      By bcozican · Posted

      Full e85 barrell stuff real world for reference if it helps as Ive pushed 2 x sets injectors to limit Above mentioned Bosch 1480cc run on 4 bar base to the apparent 1650cc on rb2.7 yielded 912hp / 684  kw  at 92% duty on hub dyno ID1700's - RB 2.8 ...1015hp / 760 kw at 87% duty - hubber dyno + shown off data on track my opinion IF you change injectors just go bigger than you think you need the modern/ good larger ones run just fine if tuned properly even if way bigger than required even on streeters
