Hi All,
I no longer have space or time to continue this project.
I bought this a little while back with plans to finish it off.. I ended up returning some items back to stock and getting to the point where it could be good for a daily. I'm now getting a bit carried away with my Bluebird, and I need to redo my kitchen...
The following are the specs and information on what has been done.
PERFORMANCE MODIFICATIONS
*VG30DET - (STANDARD flywheel figure as quoted by Nissan Japan = 190kw @ 6000rpm & 343NM @ 3200rpm - using no intercooler)
*Custom heavy-duty engine mounts to suit
*VG30DETT 5 speed - Z32 300ZX, VERY strong gearbox, similar to R33 RB25DET gearbox internally
*Exedy Single Plate Brass Button Clutch
*Custom balanced 2-piece tailshaft for high RPM/High Speed durability
*APC (Advanced Performance Centre @ Underwood) Replacement intercooler - good for 600HP
*ALL aluminium inlet and intercooler pipework - heaps lighter than stainless or mild steel
*New K&N Pod Filter
*Upgraded 550cc O-Ring Injectors on custom rails
*-6 Billet fuel pressure regulator
*Polished Alloy Oil/Air Separator
*New R31 Aussie delivered radiator
*AU Falcon Thermo Fan Assembly
*4" into 3" turbo dump pipe
*3" exhaust system with high flow cat
*Reconditioned Steering Rack
*5 Stud conversion
*Nissan 4 Spot Front Calipers R32
*Nissan 2 Spot Rear Calipers R32
*Pedders "Sports Rider Suspension & Springs"
*Haltech E6X ECU - Fully wired and neatly installed
*GM LS1 Coil Pack + Leads
*GReddy Turbo Timer
****************ALL THE ABOVE IS MOD PLATED *****************
I still wonder about whether or not I should have bought the R31 GTS-X with a T51R-fed RB26 in it. Was $AUD15k at the time but I figured I probably wouldn't have to make more than one weekly payment on it due to being dead in the car after it wrapped around a tree as soon as it came on boost in the wet.
Those R31 chassis are pretty damn bad - R32 is sooo much better from a handling/braking/rigidity point of view.
Make a video of you doing it while racing a VL BT1 and an EL with a windsor driven by some wogs
