hey guys

been floating around this forum for a while now, mainly to sell parts from my previous cars (s13,180sx, another s13 and then an s14) and brothers skylines.

i have recently however got into the world of skylines with the quick purchase and strip down of my mates r33 gtst.. after realisation of it having bent chassis rails i quickly sold it.. luckily not long after i met another member on the forums "nur33" who was selling his r33 gtr shell.. which now brings me to today.

basically i plan to turn the old nur33 into a drag/circuit weapon and one like no other r33 on this planet.

this is where some people aren't going to like what i say next, but please feel free to hate haha

Engine is going to be a TOYOTA 2jz and i WILL be keeping it 4wd using the rb26 sump and r33 5 speed gtr box

yes yes yes, i am crazy!!

anyways the 2jz bottom end is already machined and waiting to be put together parts so far are

mahle pro series pistons

manley turbo tuff i beam rods

arp l19 headstuds

arp mainstuds

acl race bearings

standard toyota rebuild kit

head will be a full ferrea or supertech kit and kelford 280ish cams with whatever porting i can afford at the time i get it done.

im yet to start making the intake and exhaust manifolds but the turbo i have waiting to go on it is a gtx4202r and is accompanied by a trust 150mm drag cooler.

brakes are off my old s14 which are alcon 6pot 383mm x 36 fronts and 4pot 343mm x 34 rears of the top of my head, bought from an awesome memeber on this forum JAGR33

suspension is bc er coilovers for now with mostly stock arms all over

thats about it for now anyways, got alot more parts sitting there waiting to go on but ill talk about them when i get around to installing them.

basically i have been working on the electrical and interior/exterior side of things for now until more funds come in for the engine work

so heres some pics as it sits today,

got a long way to go!!

didnt achieve much this break off work as i had to go to brisbane for most of it. i did however decide to remake the dash and the bar behind it.. i wasnt happy with the height of the dash or look, want it to be very slim like the scorch racing s15 dash if you have ever seen it. dash is still yet to be folded up but the bar is mostly complete.

bought a set of standard mirrors off of krzysztof, highly recommended seller.. bought from him quite a few times now and everything has come packaged very well and communicates great, thanks buddy.

replaced the previous bonnet latches/pins with aerocatch latches

acquired a pretty much new condition arc prestige radiator from a good mate, thanks Chris!! to which i promptly welded on a set of -16 jic fittings

also gave my gtx4202r back to mtq for a trade in on a gtx4508r

i think i am going to struggle to find a good spot for the 45r to live in the engine bay, its just too bigggg!!

anyways heres some more pics

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
