Barra Swapped 1993 R33 Project

[The Barra Specialist]

Few people have mentioned I should start a build thread so here we go! 

In short, I've picked up a 1993 R33 factory RB25DET 4spd Auto and I'm going to be barra swapping it. I've built several factory Barra powered vehicles now and wanted to pick a nice light JDM shell to commit to. To start out, the car will take form with 350-400rwkw, which will be plenty to get comfortable in. I've put in a summary of some things needed to be done to the existing shell and also what the driveline will entail. 

ENGINE

Built Greentop Barra on E85(Just the usual springs, gears, studs etc), GTX3582 GEN II High mounted, 50mm Screamer. 

GEARBOX

Fully built BTR 4 Speed with high-stalled converter (1st and 2nd are tall gears, paired with the 4.36 auto diff assuming it stays alive will make for some awesome launches)

I aim to sell the motor short term from the car once my destroked projects have proven successful in the XR6T's (Falcons, just less muck around with R&D). Would be similar power level as before, just with a stupidly high capacity for revs (9k rpm+), pushing that torque back would help with traction too. 

SHELL WORK

Full closed door respray in factory KH2 (GUN METAL), I'll be getting the body as straight as possible

Engine bay spray

Chassis Spray

Full rebuilt on suspension (front and rear)

Front end work (slight damage but have a full half cut so not to worry)

 

There is heaps more but I'll update as I go, I'll try keep it as comprehensive as possible for anyone using it as a resource.

For anyone interested, my YouTube is The Barra Specialist where I'll be documenting the whole build once I've restored the shell.
