Hey everyone, I'm not the best at personal introductions so just I'll keep the about me part of this post simple.

I'm an IT technician/Systems Builder, basically a massive nerd with an addiction to car hoarding. S30 zeds in particular.

I've just restored a 1975 Datsun 260z I bought crashed 2 years ago. she's just a standard L26 with a 3 speed auto that I'm tuning into something a bit more decent little by little. Mostly stuff irrelevant to this forum apart from the custom EFI setup I'm building with RB26 ITB's.

However now that her current state no longer requires my fullest attention compared to the rest of my projects, I've decided to move on to to the next one that I've had on the back burner for the longest time. A 260z roller that I'm in the early stages of swapping with an RB25det, in addition to converting to AWD.

I look forward to sharing my build with yous all. I'm more than happy to receive any advice and constructive criticism you guy's have to offer, doing thing's the correct way the first time to me is more important than ego and arguing about who's D*ck the biggest. She's a dream project of mine that I'm going to take steadily to get right, there's no ETA or deadline for this build. Hence no update schedule, but I will try to post significant progress updates when possible.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

      Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
