looks good mate

got my boost controller ;) should be in this weekend :D

Nice to see you're settling into the skyline scene... car is looking the goods also.

GTR UPDATES:

Block has been all machined, all the component balancing has been done and almost ready to be assembled

got ACL bearings to go in and CP Pistons

also the head is being reconditioned as it was a bit worse for wear aswel.....just my luck

pretty much everything in the engine has been replaced or freshened up....

also i have to go on:

Garrett TO4Z 700HP turbo

Speed-flow oil/water lines

Turbosmart 50mm Wastegate

Extreme turbo manifolds Highmount manifold (top notch work)

Custom Dumpipe

Greddy "y" afm pipe

few other bits and pieces, its getting there slowly, Just doin the engine bay in gloss black at the moment aswel.

still alot of work ahead... :D

righto, havnt done this in a while, or at all for that matter

anyway, just finished putting my new hks gtrs turbo on the 32, along with sard 550cc injectors, adjustable cam gears, timing belt and water pump.

now its down to what ecu im gonna chuck at it, a rb26dett power fc is looking the goods at the moment, heard from damo that with some small changes she'll run alright! (will contact you damo when ive got he coin to buy one, so you can show me what i gotta do exactly! :D )

hopefully it will be half reliable and more club days and some drift days to come

yep do some research on the injectors + power fc match up and it should be sweet. i may also be able to help with the tuning side of things to.

my new car...

back in the skyline game, i am pretty sure the motor is close to rooted (rings only hopefully) but will just go through the motions to nut out exactly why it is using a butt load of oil and will sort it out.

all in all, pretty happy with it, R33s are so nice to drive!

i should have another skyline by next week, looking to secure a series 2 gts25t from either melbourne or japan if i luck out on the local market.

for now though the rx7 cage and interior are painted...

Thats a nice looking 33 Todd!

I cant say I've driven a 32 or any other Nissan, but I love the way my 33 feels on the road.

On an update note, in the process of putting on a FMIC, just need to grab a nipple for the cooler piping/boost actuator and a large whole saw :blush: will have tomorrow.

I fired up my 25/30 tonight. It sounds pretty tough. It took just over 7lts of oil and over 11lts of trans fluid for the auto

did you happen to change engine biulders half way through the 25/30 biuld project.

got some 18's that would cool on this car 4sale

Fuel Pump ordered, and Split-Dump/Front pipe just arrived.

Intercooler is completely on, and I know that they arnt actually suppose to make any more power, but the car feels stronger. Definitly more pull from 4500-redline, and the induction sounds better too.

The bottom end was from pro engines as ronnie was to busy at the time i wanted to do the build as it was mean to be ready for powercruise. So he has done all the head work to suit and to fit up the auto.

I dont know how long this engine will be in the car for as im looking into a 3.4lt stroker kit for the rb30 :)

    • Gents, it will be getting the MX5 Mania kit and the 2.5 will be staying where it is My query was about the 0.64 or the 0.86, whilst the 0.64 might spool a bit faster, would the 0.86 be better IRT EGT and mechanical sympathy, with only a small difference in spool And as I assume I won't need alot of boost to get to 200kw, probably around 10 psi, and with max rpm at 6500, would high EGT even really be a issue with a 0.64 I'm heading into MX5 Mania at the end of Jan to discuss the install, so any info is welcome prior to that Basically have a chat and book a time so they can throw on the turbo kit, and fit a oil cooler with a thermostat, drive in drive out of course  In other news: just finished cleaning the car inside and out, it's now all ready to get covered in bugs and dirt driving to Goulburn tomorrow to lunch,  and go for a stroll along woolondilly River with the daughter and her boy, and of course, visit my grandcats and my new grandpuppy 
    • Sounds like it has an actual problem with mode select doors, or something.
    • Hope your all having a mean Xmas! If anyone happens to know any trick to using the insanely complex climate control system, I cannot get it to not be on dual zone no matter how many times I deselect it (will say it's not but both vents blow different temps). Also one side is always hot, one always cold 🤷
    • I'd be looking at the mentioned EFR kit, room to turn it up if decide on e85 (which we know you will) and be super responsive and fun on the street. OR https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/?srsltid=AfmBOorrJa2S76JR5ekXprxBOtU44a1UProbe64YaiVi9zTVp1Lj814w And add whooshy noise for extra fun C5 corvette prices are coming down locally here and a mate has a manual one and is a heap of fun on the street and track.
