projects Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Hi all My Names Shaun, from little old New Zealand Well im currently not a Z owner, but i am going to run a Z box behind my RB26 Holset powered S13. Yes it is a bit of a mashed up nissan from all models. and will be a purpose built track car. with mostly so drift competitions in mind, but am wanting to do some normal track racing to see how hard i can push the set up with some minor tweaks with suspension set ups and tyres. Guess my main reason to join was on gaining some information and access to some Z33 parts for the 6 speed to go behind my 26. These are basically some picture of my build so far in the past 6 months from when i first got the car. yes i know its not a 350z, sorry. after i cut out the guards and done the widebody rear end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southernspeed Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Kia ora! Bottle of beer and a turbo ..... looks like 'Kiwi can-do' engineering to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
projects Posted June 19, 2011 Author Share Posted June 19, 2011 cheers for the welcomes guys. HAHA yeah the bottle of beer, pity its still full... Thats just to show people from down here the size of the HX40, dont use a phone or pen to get a size scale. everyone knows beer bottle sizes. haha Holset isn't a big name within the car scene here as Garrett's are the big thing. so i intend on using something other people think are only suited for bus and trucks, and showing them how hard all day long these can go! on E85 i think the HX40 will go well. i have a rb30 block waiting on the side if the 26 doesnt want to co-operate.

bronzee Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Good old Bronzees work I guess. Would I do a thing like that?! Holset isn't a big name within the car scene here as Garrett's are the big thing. so i intend on using something other people think are only suited for bus and trucks, and showing them how hard all day long these can go! on E85 i think the HX40 will go well. Wow, what an interesting choice of turbo. Given how hard a truck or bus has to work, all day every day! Watching with interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

projects Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 Wow, what an interesting choice of turbo. Given how hard a truck or bus has to work, all day every day! Watching with interest. Yeah Bronzee she's a big bugger. Its a super model as well with the 7 bladed cnc'd billet compressor wheel and a steel straight cut exhaust wheel. and a nice tight bearing with no play in it at all. It came off a bus that blew its motor under warranty, so they replaced everything. basically brand new. And yes these are built to go hard all day long, so im more worried about my motor than the turbo. looking at the compressor maps i dont think it'l run out of puff at all. Thanks for all the welcomes guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
