Hey guys.My name is Brendan and this is my R33 build. Starts the same as everyone else's. After an engine failure I decided to get another built and in the meantime started pulling everything apart thinking ill just do this and just do that while the engines out. As one thing leads to another things did get abit out of hand. I'll show you how it all begun.

Engine out at home. Previous setup was a 30/25 with a gt3540. Making 400hp

Engine bay all smoothed out.

Next step the car gets sent to sydney for mini tubs, roll cage and chassis mods

Bought a set of wheels and tyres. 28 x10.5. Once the guards had been cut out the tyres were hitting on the rear chassis rail. So the standard rails will be pushed in and the boot floor unpicked and replaced with a flat one. Wanted to keep the standard rails as much as factory looking just incase rego goes back on the car.

    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
