GT-R Restoration Part 2.  Thanks for all the support and kind words! I still need more progress, but it's coming along nicely! For few days, I also received more and more tomei parts to reinforce the standard RB26 engine block. It's pretty a sturdy one, but in order to withstand the continuous power and heat output, it definitely needs some better parts. Here's what I did to the engine for last 3 days, which I fully worked on with the help of 11K.  As you can see, the notorious HICAS was cancelled for more stability and the less important bits were all upgraded. The dyno actually showed about 300 wheel horsepower, which is not a bad number for a basic restoration process  Such a hefty price to pay for the basic restoration, but it does worth the investment!  I found the rear spats for the R33 for V$ 150, and it was color matched and installed.  It has a perfect look for a weekend track day car, or even a daily coupe R34 wheels give such a good aesthetics as well.  Maybe I need a proper engine ECU map or even find the aftermarket one to make better output and the power balance! |
