Sleepers Z31 Vh45 Turbo'd 300Zx

[sleeperZ31GTR]

Yeah so... I don't quite own a skyline but the Nissan I own shares a lot of R33 GTR parts.

It's a 1988 Z31 300zx wide body

Converted to a VH45DE infinity V8

GT35 xr6 turbo

Link standalone

R33 GTR brakes

GTR 5 speed

N200 long nose 3.7 LSD diff

GTR bucket seats

Tube & fin IC

Runs on 6 pound of boost and creates approx 420rhp and the car only weighs around 1100kg

It's a pretty hairy ride.

Plans - Motor

Moving up to 550cc E85 compatible injectors

Custom fuel tank & app e85 compatable pump

Increasing the spark (havnt settled on how yet)

Custom log manifold

Possibly twin turboing...

Other loose ends

Move the fuse box and relays into the cabin

Shave the engine bay

Look into running 355/332 brake upgrade and bias valve

Pics to come

Welcome mate interesting ride keen to see pics

Dunno how the VH45DE guzzles juice but I woulda thought 555's would be too small for E85?

Should crack near on 500hp on the porn juice though.

welcome to the forum mate, keen to see some pics and more info on the car

as mick said 555cc will be on the low side for corn fuel! better of going 1000cc straight out and u never have to worry. Saying that on 420hp already you could easily throw another 10psi into that motor and make plenty on pump gas as it is

ENGINE OUTTTTT

welcome to sau. awesome build.

[gtr jet]

Sounds like an awesome build. What are your plans with the car? Track or street?

As everyone else has said, got straight to 1000cc injectors. 550's will be too small if you plan to take it further.

Hurry up with the pics!

[luke gtr]

welcome.

Please, post pics if you get a chance.

and we dont just love skylines here, the majority of us love all cars.

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

Sounds excellent and seeing as no one has mentioned it, put some pics up.

[sleeperZ31GTR]

Cheers for the comments.

Car will be used mainly for track. I'd like to stick to pump but I'm worried about pinging and it's comp being 10.1:1 blowing a ring. I havnt been able to find someone or a build with a vh45 going more than 10-12psi so that's why I was leaning to e85.

And yeah wot doesn't Take long before I'm at the servo again lol

The 550cc's are enough for 600, currently I'm on 380's an only 91% duty cycle and without sequential injection (I think that's the right term...)

I simply can't fit 1000's in there... Clearance is an issue to the inlet manifold.

If I do go TT ill be making a ffim where I'll have all the room in the world but for now I'll max out what's there.

I'll see how it holds up on 10-12psi on 100 ron, then look into e85.

600-650 is the plan, anything more simply wont get to the ground.

Also looking into 18x10 18x11.5 rims.

[sleeperZ31GTR]

I'll post up picks tonight

[luke gtr]

they should make direct replacement 1000cc.

take old ones out, put new in.

[sleeperZ31GTR]

Id1000's? Nothing I've read says they will... Have you got a link?

Faaarkin nice ride man! I like!

[Treebeard]

Nice ride man, would love to hear that thing roar.

[sleeperZ31GTR]

Thanks guys. I'll try uploading a pic of it on boost.

It does sound nice!

Thanks Luke GTR, I don't know how that didn't come up when I searched it... Even on nico forum there isn't any details. Anyway I'll be buying them, now I have to find a set of better coil packs.

Then I should be able to use what I have to easily 5-550rhp

[elysium]

was there much modification required to fit the gtr 5 speed to the vh45?

[sleeperZ31GTR]

Um yes lol

Starter motor relocated to the other side and bell housing welded back up, adapter plate made, custom shifter, ditched the transfer case and made new mounts.

I can't take and not taking credit for the build, my mate built the car and I bought it off him.

First ever car I've bought not built... But it's been done extremely well.

Anyone know of a better coil pack that fits a 45?

And also will there be another bbk group buy???
