Took advantage of the dry weather today (for a change).
Collected a clutch master cylinder and pedal assembly from 'BUCKIE', cheers bud
Croped the automagic oversized brake pedal, marked (punched from inside) and drilled the baulkhead. Drilled with the aid of a hole saw and fitted, averything lines up and everything is there for the pedal assembly, Top stuff. Some nice NISMO pedals to come.
Removed the old plugs, which were NGK iridiums so at least the engine was looked after, and fitted 6 new denso IQ24's. Also fitted my new NISMO oil cap,
Dropped the R33 subframe off the engine to drain the oil from the RB and removed the oil filter, fitted new Nissan genuine part filter ready for oil when the engine is in the s13.
Mated up the S13 steering rack to the R33 subframe, the larger R33 pipe (to the tank) can be used it just slips onto the hose where the S13 one was. The feed to the PAS pump was a bit trickier, carefull shaping with my bare hands, thumbs pressing, (get me) taking care not to crease it. After a bit of time it was to a decent enough shape, re-fitted the retaining clamps and cable tied the rest just to make sure, its now fitted back onto the RB ready for the gearbox and heater matrix hoses to go on.
Thats all for now, hopefully sold the Rover 200 MGZR this week so that should free up some funds.
Cheers

Just bought this also, its made for a R33 GTS-T so shouldnt be to hard to make fit, huge and its nearly 4" thick. Paid £120 for the kit collected, was from a local lad on e-bay. Think im going to use new hoses, black samco's to keep a stock looking theme going.

Managed to get some more done today. Firstly bundled all my wiring up and box'd it up for posting, it's going to someone with a bit of wiring talent, buffy to be precise.
I modified the gearbox mount for fitting, basically involves extending the mount aprox 50mm and re-drilling. I used some 4mm plate I had lying around.
Also modified the radiator mountings, removing the viscous fan mounting points. This was then fitted and the upper and lower hoses atached, I used a combination of CA18 / RB hoses to get the fit, modified CA upper and standard unmodified RB lower. The radiator had take offs for cooling the auto box, these were blocked with a couple tight fitting deep thred screws.
I had a twin fan setup from my MGZR project lying around, I fitted a slim fan when I got the hooge intercoller so this proved excelent for the Nissan. Its from a rover coupe turbo, I shortened the mounting frame by a couple inch and re-welded, also cut of the rubber lugs of the base and the mounting points from the top, it fits so snug its unreal, the front bracing and locking mech even fits unmodified.
Finally played around with the intercooler hoses, thing I can manage to get one side complete with only the offside needing another pipe made up. Hopefully it sits lower then the RB Streeto project car, so that it clears the bonnet.
Thats all for now folks, need to get the prob made up. Dnt know of anywhere local? Did all this today with conjunctivitus, my left eye is completely fooked. Probs not the best idea to go welding etc but it took my mind of it at least + it beats watching the snooker.

Yeah think your right, thinking of going GTR Brembo's

see how much they are going for but i would advise something like the willwood conversion that DB power sell, very very good value for money.
great thread by the way, really coming together now, glad to see another s13 with the engine that it was meant to have

Just got a PM from buffy' and the wiring is on its way back to me, unbelievably quick job, top service! , need to really pull my finger out now and could have it going in a week or so.
Shame I missed the DB group buy on the wilwood kits, used wilwood on my kit car and they worked a treat, at £500 I would have been very tempted too. I am going to get it on the road first mind, then when the weather starts to get better next year I will be going big brakes and full adjustable alingment all round.
