Well I've already done the suspension but only half installed the new guages.

I'm replacing the ugly hose to the catch can today with a nice smooth black one.

Front bar goes back on and the rest of the dash after lunch.

Just organised all my insurance. Switched to Shannons for Comp and Allianz for CTP.

With any luck I'll be pink slipped this afternoon and registered late today or more likely tomorrow morning.

Small update.

I'm on hols so no big details or pics here but I have done the run in and put some more boost into it. Running 0.9 bar now.

The mid range feels so strong now I hardly go near the redline. I can't wait until I can put some more boost in and rev it up.

I notice the slightly different sounds of the pistons. I now understand what people say about forged piston noise. It's only just noticeable and only because I know my car.

The cams have made the car a little wobbly on start up and given it a slightly lumpy idle. When cold the idle is quite erratic but once warmed up it's just a slight lope. It definitely sounds beastier now.

More updates to come.

just curious about some 52mm boost, exhaust gas and oil temp guages for the standard guage pod.

I would like anyone who pulls apart their gauge pod to measure and measure and measure to see what fits in there.

Check out what I just found.

Defi gauges behind the standard pod.

I've never found this before, so now I'm happy!

also, some other general photos of R34 interiors. Check out that shifter!!!

Pete,

* The internal diameter of the stock GTT guage holes is 60mm

* Defi BF guages (amber or white dial) are only available in 60mm

Therefore the Defi BF (60mm) gauges will fit fine as you can see from the pics, but the bezel will be mounted outside the hole.

This pic shows Defi black 60mm gauges (not BF) fitted.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
