a few guys in Japan SR20 swapped a R32 GTS-T Skyline but a 3rd gen isnt the best candidate

 

Noobs...coming in here and not reading the thread, passing out advice and asking for dyno numbers.

This project was SCRAPPED

 

^ it was not scrapped, reading>you

 

Woah I felt momentarily heart broken when I read drunkies post, I was certain the guy was still proceeding on it...

 

yeah like i thought he went away for a bit, this was the end of July so around February he should be back and is starting over

he can rebuild it, he HAS the technology

 

as long as it doesnt end up the 6 million dollar project car

 

i have faith he will do it, he had major problems with the shop that did it the first time, they screwed up alot

 

It was scrapped and will remain scrapped until he comes back, if he does.

He never finished this and said he wanted to start over, I consider that scrapped.

 

What does it matter? Its not your money.

 

scrapped= him giving up, saying fudge it its not going to happen i'm getting a 240sx

put on hold= what hes doing

 

Was a joke on chrome's earlier statement (6 million dollar man). I'd like to see it done.

 

Hey guys still at sea should be back home on 01/23/11, so you will have some new pics. the frame has been redone with 240 and skyline gts-t parts so it will be be good. And no I did not quit on the project, just not home. Hope you guys have a happy holidays and see you guys next year when the car is done. Oh to all my rim guys here will

Rim Diameter: 19
Offset: + 20
Rim Width: 8.5 front

Rim Width: 9.5 rear

bolt pattern 5x114.3


work for me on the max

 

dog ur my idle. i was jus thinkin bout this like a few weeks ago. a maxima wit a rb26? sickk. right when i saw this i was like NO WAY. i def wanna do this to my maxima when i go to college. can u go driftin if u make it rwd? lol jus askin. thatd be sick

 

driftin is sick, yo. Just sick! You can drift now. Just pull the Ebrake.

 

I guarantee you will never do this.

 

you can drift it but remember the car will still have understeer

 

this is what I want for my feet will they work for me http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/19-in...Q5fAccessories

 

Offset in the rear is going to be interesting...No one here will be able to apply any of their offsets to your project as your rear end is COMPLETELY different.

I am kind of curious to know myself...but i think its gona have to take some measuring on your part...

I know people have fit 18x9.5 +30 in the front with a slight stretch, and thats pretty agressive...not crazy, but nice and flush.

 

You can try turning the screw on the throttle body.

 

I want to see a rear drive 5th gen!

 

might happen eventually, i know there was one guy who paid a garage to convert his 3rd gen to RWD, but he got pestered by everyone asking how it was done on here so he left the site

 

+1

 

Depends on if it's a 4th gen, 5th gen or PFTB?

 

A shop in S.D. did that to a 6th gen for some guy in the NY area, they said it was in a magazine will see if I can get the pics!!

 

NEW sub frame almost done. Ready to cut out fire-wall for engine set back looks like we will NOT be able to keep the stock heater and AC unit no space, will defiantly lose the ABS unit and lines just no room,

 

abs sucks anyways

hahaha a sensor must have gotten screwed up after my drop because the ABS light went on after and my ABS isnt working, i dont like ABS anyways so whatever

 

I am excited for you MaxxKid, that sounds promising. Who needs AC, Heater, and ABS LOL

 

well not so much the other two but I need my heat for when i move back to Ny.

 

Good luck bro. If you ever need a paint job. Let me know I got my shop top quality stuff can send pics of jobs if needed. Keep it up nice job

 

Ok guys, here is what I came up with. Let me know if my numbers are right, the maxima curb weight is 1938 kg so I times it by 2.2 to get pounds, which is 4263 LB. The R33 curb weight is 3373. So foe me to get a decent run from my car here is what I did 4263-3373= 890.6 or 981 lb I have to lose. How ever if I do curb weight for curb weight here is what it comes out to. The maxima curb weight is 1366 kgx2.2=3005.2 – 3373= - 367.8 or 368. So I deciede to go with the maxima gross weight – the skyling curb weight which is 891. So my question is how do I lose 891lb on the maxima if my numbers are correct. I could not fing gross weight for the R33 Gtr. The R33 v spec has a different weight so don’t mix them up. Any one has other way to get the numbers let me know thanks.

 

Those numbers are wrong. Stock 4th gens weigh between 2800-3100 lbs at most.

 

well I guess all these numbers are wrong?.http://www.internetautoguide.com/13-...fications.html
to convert KG to LB you multiply by 2.2, but if I can get better numbers let me know.

 

Wikipedia says 4th gens are 2,870 lb

 

ok cooll

 

so in that case the r33 is haiver that the maxima so I am good as far as getting the motor to pull the car. So the maxima is 2870 - (R33)3373 = - 503lb subtract the stock gas tank which is about 20lb give or take so I am somewhere around 519 under the R33 I estimate. correct my numbers if i am worng trying to figure out my power to weight. I estimate 519 thinking of when the fuel cell if full. Correct me if I am wrong guys

 

my fully loaded 97 5 speed weighs 3250 without me in it verified on many scales. so give or take based on your options.

 

ok so 3250-3373 = -125lb so given this new verified info at the end with a full tank I may or may not be over the R33 about 100lb. thanks for that info. A lot go good stuff coming out of this build I can say for sure, everyone will learn something form this.

 

My fully loaded '96 SE 5 speed weighs in at 3237 pounds with a full tank of gas and full interior (minus the floor mats) with me sitting in the car. So its about 3015 pounds without me in the car and I have no carbon fiber parts and its got subframe connectors & chassis foam. There is alot of weight that can be taken out if you know where to look.

I haven't removed the AC but that weighs around 25 ~ 30 pounds for the whole system and the ABS is another 10 pounds or more, make sure to remove all the ABS wiring and the ABS brain if you have to get rid of it. Any weight off of the front will help with handling, you might want to relocate the battery to the trunk on the right side if this build ends up being to front heavy. However with the added chassis reinforcement, RWD converstion, and IRS you may end up with a decently balanced car. Provided the suspension is dialed in correctly the car should handle better as well.

 

thanks the abs system is out,the ac system is out for now and the battery will be placed in the trunk. I am also looking at aftermarket resevior tanks not sure how much difference it will make but i hope it does. thanks for the input

 

For me having FWD the more weight in the back of the car all the better. This year I am putting a canister for the windshield washer fluid in the trunk next to the battery and removing the stock one. When the Bose speaker amps finally die an aftermarket 4 channel amp & capacitor will be installed with new component speakers. The goal is to get as much weight in the trunk while removing weight from the front and middle of the car.

Battery relocation is the most effective means as the battery and its sealed box doesn't take up much space and the battery weighs so much. This is why BMW does this at the factory on a bunch of their cars.
