R34 gtt build because priorities

Okay fam well as the headline states building my r34 gtt! 

past two weeks have had more than 150 items arrive for it and watched my bank lag as it was sucking my savings on boost....

 

From upgraded springs, sway bars, struts and better brakes and slottered discs handling side should be easy 

wide body from viva garage (highly highly recommend for any car as their products can twist like melted plastic even though its fibre glass) 

New cooler to front facing plenum, top mount garrett, split fire coilpacks, 1000cc bosch, upgraded oil gears, bigger radiator, bye bye a/c and much more for e85 with roberts help and my brother in law, a guy who was born with an engine in his hand, at 1 year of age he turbo charged his bicycle thats how good he is...

most wanted garage will be aiding in the build and supplied some amazing wheels and dhf supplying tyres at a great price 

Interior all changed with defis, recaros, back seats black suede with door trim and few little gaggets cause why not be fully broke 

I have 2 fridays and 2 sat to all of this including fabrication for dump pipe and inlets before tunning and dropping it off to be sprayed red again because george washington said "red goes faster" 

i'll be uploading little vids on photos of turbo and build also on snap chat cause i'm 12 and use dog filters ( username : badi_ae ) 

and will be doing a youtube channel to condence everything 

 

after from stunning looks i was hoping for 1000kw but i'll be happy with 350kw+ 

there is a lot i haven't mentioned off course as i said 150 items (so far), and show eveywhere i got parts at a good price with good customers 

i'll update here and in the mean time please join hands and pray for me as the stress of it all is make me age 10x quicker

Update: 

i haven't been able to start on the motor yet waiting on crank go come back with new oil gear spline! 

 

So instead i had the car sent out for full respray and wide z tune kit to be installed, i get the car back in 3 weeks and then i'll be able to drop everything in with updates and photos, until then a $10,000 project has become $35000 and still a bit more to buy inc recaros and some interior parts 

the only thing i am stuck on is the simple cluster, do i hunt a nismo one? (Need a white face) do i ignore it for now so it stops bothering me? Or i can send it to a company in the states the changes needles number etc to anything you want ($1000 u.s. Though)  

i got the white and blue defi gauges (since all my so called friends are rocking the red ones and i like to be different cause my mum says i'' special)

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      R33 fuel setup

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
