I got this stuff up on drift-west as well but its always fun to whore builds out for the motivating attention. Im in Coquitlam for a week starting on the 24th then back to Lethbridge to finish this build. Should piece together fairly quickly as all the money is spent and parts are just waiting.
I didnt know to post this in the gtr projects but the GTS forums say rb20/25. So It was justified.
Im not looking for huge power. I ran out of money as I have a house and new truck and moving to Poco so nothing was done to my head other than a valve job and new seals. So its at least refreshed. Im guessing I can squeeze out 400hp area. Thats plenty to slide around and then I can just upgrade the head to get a lil more.
So here is the majority of the goods: I'll post up progress.
-GT-SS kit
-Sard injectors
-Sard reg
-Apexi PFC D-Jetro
-RB25 trans w/OS 1-3 gear set
-Nismo twin copper pull type.
-braided clutch line
-2 way LSD. Unknown brand. works well enough.
-Brembo R33 GTR all around
-GTR brake peddle
-Braided lines all around
-Got either my Zeals or the Cuscos zero-2's it came with.
-Hicas delete
-GTR rear sway
-Subframe alum bushings
-GTR subframe
-R33 GTS rear diff cover
-GTS-T axles 5 bolt.
-Trust radiator
-Greddy upper rad hose.
-Hicas rack w polly bushing
-Solid steering spacer
-R32 OEM inner and outer tie rods with 3/16" washer. drift spacer.
-R32 P/S reservoir.
-Painless race car kit. PN#50003 12 circ.
-Moroso batt relocate
-Parsons roll cage
-Recaro solid
-nardi wheel. Need to ditch and buy a suede one tho. Gloves slip on this one like a mo-fo.
-Autometer gauges and monster tach.
-HKS EVC
-Greddy multi switching system.
Engine is just a basic build That I have done in the past for the most part plus some other things to help keep it all together for the long haul:
-RB26 engine block and head
-ARP head stud kit
-CP's 86.5
-Eagle Rods
-ACL bearings main/rod
-N1 pump
-Tomei head gasket 1.2
-De-bur/polish block castings
-.002 total clearance crank drive. Selling these if anyone whats one.
-1.2mm oil feed
-Modified oil drain castings
--10 head to sump drain
-Tomei Sump Baffle
-ATI Crank Dampener
-Using the GT-SS's
-Using the PFC
-Tomei in tank fuel pump.
-Moroso accumulator 1.5q
-Greddy 13 row cooler. OEM cooler delete.
-Nismo stat
-heater delete
-A/C delete
I was running a halo bar with ladder door bars but in the end I really didnt like it. the A-Pillar bars needed to be a bit tighter so I ended up cutting it out. Im building the rest when Im back from Poco and doing x door bars for max comfort.
before:
After:
Port match oil drain:
locating harness:
Batt box installed. Welded in rods:
Tonight's work:
did a little more work on it the past bit.
Found the diff I am going to use. 2 way that i had in the rb26gtst I had back in 2007. Pulled apart to service it and changed the rear backing plate to a R33 2 bolt so that I can use a GTR rear crossmember.
Tossed the diff in the crossmember to make sure it was all good. I wanted to use R32 axles as they are thicker and stronger than the wimpy 6 bolt s13 axles. So i changed hubs from the 2 way that came with the cefiro when I bought it. So now I have a GTR crossmember with 5 bolt axles. Id like to upgrade to GTR pumpkin and axles and hubs but I need a 2 way for one and cant locate one for a good price. So for now its GTS pumpkin. To toss the gtr member in a S13 or GTS you need to cut them down about half an inch. I did that and threw some alum spacers that were kicking around in the shop.
i also installed a S13 close ratio Hicas steering rack. Its only got the two lines coming out of it so i will just build my own lines from copper and braze the high pressure line to my new ones and have a cooler up front as well. Also threw in a solid steering spacer and poly rack bushings. rack bushings are only $10 from mopac.
I got the rotation assy balanced with my nismo twin copper clutch and block decked so I am officially ready to build my engine.
pix: Forgive my photos. I know they could be better.
