After not driving my skyline for a year, probably more i happened to have the opportunity to buy this series 1 R33 from family so missing driving and liking this series 1 i snapped it up..

I've been in and around this car for years and envied it cause to me it just looks hot and has always performed well, 13 second flat quarters with what most say is a shitty HKS 2540 turbo which surged its head off when the cat was gutted..Since then the turbo was replaced with a Hypergear SS2 and still retains the original tune from Japan and everything else thats bolted/attached to it...

I'll just list what i know it has

SS2 hypergear turbo

SAFC controller

HKS boost controller

3inch exhaust system

Mines ecu i think

GTR dash

Blitz side skirts

Trial rear bar

Nismo wheels?

Koyo radiator

Exedy clutch

short shifter

Finally hit the dyno, the 1000cc x spurts at 85% and walbro pump at its limits also so stopping here.  Didn't get chance to play with cam positions and was expecting boost on earlier but it's got plen

So, this thread is going to be simple, currently it was at 200kw's with the 2540, the goal is to get anything north of 280kw's and see how it goes at drags and track.

Have lots of parts so stay tuned for a fairly quick build up :)

Don't know bout others, but pulling an engine out is a bit of an anxious moment, only second time i done this and bloody knock sensor played hard to get but managed to pull the connector off without an engine dropping on my arm :unsure2:

Finally got the covers and turbo housing back, i was originally picturing more of a highly polished look and this come out quite bright if you know what i mean ... this is blindly bright lol

post-70965-0-33405500-1460448606_thumb.jpgpost-70965-0-48296100-1460448630_thumb.jpg

Gonna paint the middle core cause they tend to look all rusty after a short time, hoping to keep it looking this new for good...

Lucky i found these little balls that were in the comp housing, dont think the engine would of like to suck these in.. alot of these guys do a great job on things but then fail on these fine details, fabricator leaves dags that will be sucked in too so i usually take all the pipes off and sand clean them before the engine can be started... :dry:

Yeah, im not happy with the shinyness of the ceramic coated covers, i will probably end up changing them again, have to think bout will look good without being stupid...

Been a few hard slog kinda days, i removed the RB3025 from my silver skyline and now she sits in the maroon beast, was a long frustrating process, almost like it didn't want to go in, played with angles etc to get it in and bolted on the mounts..

Today i been making a few efforts to keep it going, i bolted on the manifold, a few times for various reasons, sorry but im amateur lol... finally got it on, then the air con then the power steering pump, then started putting the HKS exhaust on, dam i have to say im a big big fan of the Jap gear, many dont like it but i do... am a Jap brand whore...

I like showing pics so heres a bunch of them...

Slow progress, waiting for the fabricator to make up an adaptor plate so i can bolt the idle air control thing to the top plenum. It should mean that i can run the neo stuff without any issue..

Have installed all the belts and radiator and decided to try and do the intercooler piping myself. My old man bought a tig welder and has offered to help with welding so this will either be a flop or work well, wont hurt to try for the little cost. I went and picked up some 2.5inch stainless pipes 316grade so we can attempt home job fabrication lol.post-70965-0-80115300-1463649258_thumb.jpg

      Short shifter r34

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.

      Short shifter r34

      stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.

      Short shifter r34

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?

      R34 oil and timing belt change

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
