275 Radial R33 Drag Build

[2rismo]

Pulled most of the wiring out. Man, there's just so much of it. Bitch of a job.

[racegtst]

Out of curiosity, what did it weigh?

[2rismo]

I didn't weigh it. I did swear at it a lot though.

I could weigh it I guess but I'd already removed bits and pieces of it and the channeled loom that runs to the back below the car is still there till I pull the fuel tank out.

CNC billet sump pan arrived from Ross Performance Parts. Looks so good.

[2rismo]

And no, they're not my nails.

Was going to say those hands at top of page cleaned up nicely... haha.

Sump pan looks fkn mint, I am loving this build.

More shiny bits please!

Clearly you don't know him well enough to see his shiny bits regularly.

Took the car to a buddy's house (Astill Design) last night to begin work on cleaning up the engine bay. Between the Nissan factory and the previous owners they sure knew how to put holes everywhere. One rust repair in the left side front wheel tub and a heap of filling with the MIG was first before we started plugging larger holes with bits of steel and the TIG. Will be back at it this afternoon finishing the firewall and patching up the right side and both rails. Also noticed this thing has JIC arms in the front.Not sure what good they'll do me but they're there.

[2rismo]

Some more progress.

[2rismo]

Then this happened. Not bad for a weekend tidy up.

Hey 2rismo, love the build! Its epic! Quick question for ya...

How are you getting to fit the 275 60 15 drag radials in the guards?? Im looking to do this exact same rear tyre setup to hold about 800hp.

What offset and rim size are you using??

Cheers.

Haven't crossed that bridge yet. Do you have any thoughts?

[Damien2]

I was thinking 15x9 +38 should fit. But I've only managed to find them in weld wheels (alumstars or magnum) and simmons (b45). I haven't been able to find a cheap alternative.

[2rismo]

I'll undoubtedly end up with Welds or similar on this car. Be nice to know how far I have to move/change things first though. These are big tyres.

[Damien2]

Yeah same here. Good luck on your build Cheers.
