R33 black beast restoration

It all began over a week ago with cash in my hand after selling of my 2012 Holden Cruze. 

I had little cash and was expecting to buy a lemon or something jdm that needed repairs. 

The project was set into motion the day I inspected a black R33 manual that needed much attention to the body and other minor areas.

i paid the deposit and the listing was removed the day it was listed. I was not going to give up this opportunity. 

As the picture indicates, the door has faded clear and the roof pretty much needed a respray. Bonnet has faded clear and that gtr wing was going off for sale.

The car has LED tail lights and the body did not have any dents or needing major work. 

Gearbox and motor is mint condition. GTR front bar. 18" wheels. Hd clutch. Spare turbo (AR .70) gt 3582. Trust intercooler. Bov. Coil pack. Boost t. 3" exhaust to hks superdrager muffler. Full body kit and some spare parts. 

 

Will post repair pictures along with current state shortly.

always awesome to undo other peoples wrong doing lol

Yeah until you realise how much wrongdoing has been applied.

There's zip locks holding one side of the front bar and duck tape holding the other side.

Mixed spark plugs, random dodgey coil and few other things that don't belong there only indicate to me that the owner literally installed whatever he could get his hands on. 

They say money can't buy brains, I get it now.

      That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. I would go cut bellhousing over that monstrosity of a flywheel all day, every day. It puts a lot more mass further from the last main bearing. I've had nothing but problems with Collins in the past and refuse to ever buy their products again. I would not trust anything they tell you. He's playing his salesman card.  I'm currently at 640whp on a mustang dyno (~770bhp) with the intentions of running E85 and a lot more power this upcoming spring. Cheers,

      Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.

      Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.

      Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D?

      I thought an engine that needs more ignition timing to make power is going to result in less power due to reduced knock margin? More time for the combustion to propagate -> more time for it to heat up the rest of the mix to detonation.
