Here are 2 pic's when NT Performance in Footscray Owned the car...... They Sold it to my mate with a stock motor in it that he blew up, and due to him cbf with it, so he then came to me and offered it to me for my 93 R33.

When NT Performance had it, the engine in it made 530RWKW's on the Dyno in this Vid, but the did manage to squeeze 580RWKW's. Reason for them taking the engine out was because in the Skyline it was just getting too much wheel spin, So they decided to rip it out and put it in a VL set up for the strip.

Anyway here are 2 pic's and the vid, (Hope Vid works)

Hey all got a bit of an update on the car..... Spent Yesterday pulling out the engine and fixing up some melted wires from the heat of the turbo, the new engine gets picked up this Saturday then that will be making its way into the bay :-)

So the work begins on pulling the engine out.....

Everything is all unbolted and Engine is ready to be lifted out.

12012013226_zpsad290d0a.jpg

Out it comes with my Uncle supervising.

12012013227_zps7f50811e.jpg

Came out with no issues.

12012013228_zpsc7615c24.jpg

Random Shot coz i can :-)

12012013229_zps7292f896.jpg

Now for the nightmare to be fixed.

12012013230_zpsc49b88b5.jpg

The wiring which needed to be replaced due to the heat of the turbo melting the wire's together.

12012013231_zps9133b76a.jpg

Seeing as i was replacing that part of the loom I decided to extend the wire's to run behind the guard so I wont have to worry about the loom melting every again from the heat of the Turbo :-)

12012013232_zpsa50b4a02.jpg

Where the new loom feed's into.

13012013234_zpsa29a732a.jpg

And this is where the loom comes out to the plugs, Nice and neat Just the way i like.

Yer i had it on due to needing a running car but after it been on there a few times i thought to myself ill just fix it, and coz i love it heaps. So i went on the hunt for an engine and the timing couldn't have got any better even if i planed it. Found an engine on eBay with a New Exedy HD Button Clutch at $650 with 6 0r 7 days left, as soon as i seen it i was like that's mine..........Had to get my uncle to watch the auction for me as i was at work and my max bid was 1k Here i am thinking iv got no chance of winning it because it will go for alot more got a SMS from my uncle saying "its yours!" I was surprised to say the least but extremely happy winning it at $860. and at that price you can not complain about.

After getting the engine i finished cleaning up the engine looms with new plastic tubing and taping it all. then the engine was ready to drop in, still got a few things to get like Turbo set up, FMIC, Tyres, get it tuned, RWC, Rego then Enjoy driving it.

Here are some pic's

Finished work at 12am and started to get stuck into it untill about 2.30am

Stay Tuned......

Got it from eBay a company called YY Cooling Systems Auto Parts in Hallam Victoria.

Got Bored today and it was a nice day so decided to go and look at the 34 to try and find something to do to it........ took the rag out of the throttle body and had a look in it........ OMG it was filthy so took the time to give it a good clean. Used WD40 and a bit of 2000 Grit sand paper and what a difference it made, looks Brand New!

    • ...just a note of warning, you shouldn't drive it about with the TCU in limp mode with only 3rd gear available ~ apart from the fact you end up sheering the ATF at the torque converter interface, the high clutch in these isn't especially the strongest, particularly bolted to the RB25DE mill...which is likely a 4AX01 box with lighter duty high clutch (the RB25DET got the bigger high clutch)...be careful out there...
    • Hoping to do similar mods to my RB20 once I get it running and reliable again
    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
