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.

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
