admS15

So I drove the car for 1 day as it was with stock boost control but couldn't hack how slow it was. I then grounded the solenoid so it was always in high mode. It was a little better but still slow as. Drove it for 1 day like that and then put a boost t on it and raised the boost to 10 psi. This made it tolerable for a couple of weeks.

More pics and progress reports to come soon.

This was a week after I bought it. It came with stock wheels so I threw on the 18's off my S15.

G'day peeps, My name is Bill, I've recently acquired a series 2 96 R33 gtst. A quick intro about myself, I started off vehicle ownership with an RX4 coupe back in the mid 90's, built and modded it to a respectable 135rwkw in n/a form, was pretty quick and p plate legal. Drove that for around 5 years, also had an RX2 coupe I was building at the same time that was never finished. In the early 2000's I was moving homes to somewhere that didn't have much garage space so I sold off all the rotaries and bits and pieces I had. I then thought I would be responsible and drive a normal looking car, so I bought a vtss ls1 6spd commodore. Did some minor mods to it, zorst, intake, wheels, low, and remap. Drove that for over a decade and finally came to my senses and decided to buy another japper. I was initially looking into RX8's but quickly realised the engines where rubbish. I started to think about what else I could get that was rwd and decently powered and settled for a 2001 adm S15 200sx. I did the usual mods one does and ended up with a decently quick 218rwkw street/track car. Did a few track days and was having a blast. I wanted to do a phillip island day so I joined SAU and did the June 14 track day. It was going well and managed to do a 1.58 in my second session. Car had a few more seconds in it easy. I missed the 3rd session as I was gas bagging with others and lost track of what was going on. I went out in the 4th session and tried to go a bit too hard, too early at the end of the first lap and ended up going off on the inside of turn 12 and slamming the flag marshalls tyre barrier. This was the end of the S15. The S15 was then stripped and sold off. With the proceeds I was able to buy and mod my new ride which is a clean R33 GTST. It was mechanically 100% stock other than coilovers and nismo cat back but the previous owner liked cosmetics and did a fair bit to the body. Photos coming.

Even with that shitty compression the engine should still start and run. (will probably be rough). If it was mine, I would persevere in getting the thing started, just to get a bigger picture of the overall condition of everything else and then making a more informed decision on wether to fix or part. As said a hg is your best hope and may or may not be the issue. I have replaced one before, it is a time consuming job but not all that difficult, there are plenty of guides online and if u can get someone with some mechanical knowledge and tools to lend a hand it is very do able.

Ouch. At best a head gasket or incorrect operation of gauge, at worse broken ring lands, cracked pistons, scored bores, cracked cylinders, bent valves, the list goes on.

Stupid,stupid,stupid. You asked I delivered. Feel better now

pretty cool in my books

Could be. If it doesn't return over the next few weeks definately shit fuel. Happened to me once a long time ago. Never went back to that servo again.

True muppet

I'm in the wouldn't worry about it boat. Put it back together drive it. If it overheats start to worry then. If it runs fine but it still bothers you, flush the system after its been pressurised a few times. If it still bothers u after all that, light up a stick of dynamite and move on to your next car:)

^ive got the 21u highflow on mine. Made 248rwkw @18psi with a quiet restrictive nismo 3 inch exhaust and return flow cooler. Full boost @ 3450rpm. Tuner says could make 10-15kw more with better fliwing exhaust.

How come the car has been sitting for 3 years anyway?

Really tempted to go for a catback exhaust with a varex twin tip muffler...but that route is quite expensive compared to various other catback options. If you can get your hands on a nismo exhaust, that will give a nice note without being Ott and breaking the bank.

I use a pair of snapper. Each to their own I suppose.

^This. If I had a GTR sitting on my lawn, i wouldn't of been able to let it sit for 5 mins without trying to work out what was wrong with it. You've had the patience of an ignorant donkey for 3 farken years, a little longer isn't gonna kill you. You should really try and get someone with some sort of car knowledge to give you a hand b4 you make a shit situation even shitter. Good luck with it, I hope u get it running without too much hassle. Just being real.

Do it, if that floats your boat but your car will become one of those cars that people in the know will shake there head at.

^you gap them down yourself using a feeler gauge or one of those $1 supercheap spark gap tools they sell at the counter. Anyways, just buy the .9 ones and put them in as is, they will be fine to get the car going.

I'll go $255 on it

Oil in coolant, definitely head gasket. You may have other issues too but that is a classic hg symptom.

For your aim of 200rwkw none of that is required. A new pump would be good but that 1 is a bit big for your requirement. Retune for 12psi and target should be met or close enough. The stock afm can flow around 220rwkw or so. The z32 you linked looks legit but I have been warned away from that particular seller buy a prominent tuner that got sick of trying to tune cars with that sellers dodgy z32's. When buying products like that, you're better off buying from reputable companies. E.g kudos motorsports, just jap and so on. Intercooler upgrade would be advisable but not totally necessary.

yes they did, epic 8 year bump

Looks to be the goods. Haha national debt. Good luck with finishing it off. Your not too far off. Interested to see final result. I'm a big fan of the td06, should be awesome on e85.

Yeah get it engineered for a bov. You be smoking the good shiite:)
