Hello guys. I'm about to strip the crap out of my r33 gtr to do a ground up build.

I have the motor well on its way to being complete and need some advice on how to clean up and free up the engine bay.

 

I have seem some gtrs out there with no fuse box's under the hood and no abs pumps. Basically I would like to know what all can be removed. Keeping the car steerable. Also keeping in mind having the lights off inside if possible.

Any help would be appreciated. I'm still searching the web and this fourm. Find it abit overwhelming to read all the info out there. But I'll press ahead.

Thanks in advance..

It's fairly simple. Just time consuming. RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH.

Pick an item and a side, hotside would be the easiest to start on, read about what it does and how it works, then move it and make sure it still works correctly. Be careful of grounds.

Yeah, that link is just brake line kit for calipers.
Well I was talking to my mate today and we came up with just extending all the wires for the fuse box. To the inside of the car. Some where under the dash. I hope I have room down there. I'll very much need to do this as the r33 gtr is so tight under the hood.

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
