so after comming home from a mates place where i was playing some pool tonight i discovered the central west reversing ability is rather low. the r33 i bought about 3 weeks ago has now been reversed into. at this point i hadnt had a chance to put insurance on it so im in a bit of a pickle and as my job is delivering pizza in newcastle i have no way home atm and no way to do work. for now i have mums shed and a good mate to get her back on her feet. but this is where i need you guys to help me out. i dont have a very big budget because im not working for obvious reasons but at this stage i need the following:

> r33 s1 hood

> r33 s1 passenger headlight

> r33 s1 front grill with the skyline badge on it

> r33 series 1 radiator

> r33 series 1 radiots electric fan

> r33 series 1 front bar (might be able to fix the current one.

im sure there will be more that needs replacing when i start pulling it apart in the morning. im also thinking however seeings though im in the situation i wouldnt mind doing a series 2 front end coversion but only if i can stretch my budget. for now though can anyone inbox me with whatever parts they have an how cheaply they can let go of them. thanks everyone and wish me luck getting my pride and joy back on the road.

took me a while but thanks xntrq. car is back together and ive resprayed most of your parts black for that carbon fibre look. i put my original silver front bar back on after drift stitching it back together.

and im unsure of what hit it as i came out of a mates place, walked round the corner and there it was with the hood nearly bent back up onto the windscreen. so im guessing either vandals beat her up or a ute with a big toe ball went back on her.

nah its all good now. all i need replacing atm is my heater core but im picking one up tomorrow. next time im in sydney if u still have a r33 lying around i might come get the front rotors off it depending on condition?

    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
