Hi all, just thought i would upload some photos on my project, still in its very early stages so there will be more photos to come as i progress.

Build Plan

Shell:

Going to strip it right down as its pretty rough and paint underbody black, engine bay and inner shell grey and exterior pearl white, unsure about bodykit yet. Probably get some vented BN front gaurds that i think are 25-30mm wider and a panel beater friend to roll the rear gaurds.

Engine:

RB30 block (currently still in GXE Skyline station wagon), Rebore to 86.5mm, 9.0-1 comp cp pistons, spool conrods (havent yet purchased but are planning to use these), ACL race bearings, probably N1 Oil pump and a crank collar.

R32 rb25de head, mild port and polish (hasnt been done yet as engine still together and running) maybe some 20det vavle springs as iv read they fit in these heads and are better than standard de ones.

Top mount steam pipe manifold, 3inch down pipe, 3inch front pipe with waste gate plumb in, tial wastegate (unsure what size it is yet), 440cc injectors, z32 afm, 300zx ecu chipped and tuned to 380rwhp on 98 with 16 psi (may go aftermarket ecu further along in build) and Garrett gt3582 turbo (was rebuilt less than two years ago and had the gt3582 comp wheel put on, and what looks like is a Air Research exhaust wheel with 0.70a/r) these things i have already purchased in a good priced package, but would like advice on the turbo as im looking at hopefully having 500rwhp at the builds end.

Also the turbo has no back and forward play and spins freely, but still has some side to side play, is this normal? or should i get it checked out as someone said it may need to have oil pressure in it to remove the play.

Front facing plenum (80mm throttle body maybe? would like advice on this as well) and front mount intercooler (want good response and minimum lag if anyone knows what would be the best size for my setup?) and 56mm twin core alloy radiator.

Suspension:

Should be getting a R32 gtr 5stud setup with brakes once i have the money for it, and going to get adjustables, unsure which brand but probably the cheapest that have a reputable brand names on them, unsure on wheels yet, maybe 18" x 10"?

There will be lots of other things along the way i wish to do like projector lights, and i will have to re do all the interior as lots is missing.

Would love to hear lots of advice, suggestions and opinions on my plan, and please remind me of anything i may be missing

Thanks all.

I initially thought that since it had a .70a/r it wouldnt be that laggy, but i dont know much about turbos.

Couple of pics of dyno sheet off the turbo when it was on a 25det S13 and an RS-R exhaust i picked up

Dyno sheet, new turbo line is my turbo.

    • 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.  
    • 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
