Hi

I just moved to Canberra from Dubbo. Down here to do some uni. Some of you might have seen me driving around already as i've seen quite a few lines with SAU stickers on them getting around.

Anyway i drive a R32 GTS-T with a Do-Luck body kit on it. The car can be seen here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=101384.

So do you ACT skyline folk get together for cruises or anything very often? I'd love to come along and see a few other lines. Back home i had the only 32 in town until just recently!

We usually meet on a friday night at the Museum, but as of late there hasn't been much interest in that. stay tuned as we get it back up and running with 20+ cars a night!

Well i guess its not really uni as such. I'm at CIT. Hopefully there'll be some cruising going on soon. Everyone loves a good old fashioned cruise!

Hey chintami seen your car at CIT the other day. Looks tidy!

Ok....or everyone could completely forget to mention Tuesday nights???

We meet every Tuesday at the Jerrabomberra Tavern for trivia and a get together, you're more than welcome come!

THAT IS THE EXACT KIT I WANT, how much did it cost and where did you get it from?i sure hope it's not an original, otherwise you'd be taking out a secoind mortgage to buy it!

Hey Simon,

Met you the other day when you came into Autobarn. I was the guy you first talked to with glasses. Saw the car outside, looks very nice.

Not sure if you realise, but I also own a maroon R32 GTS-T with a big front mount. haha freaky aye

Veilside R33 its not an original kit. Its a replica i got from a mob in Perth called Works Auto i believe. Its an extremely well built kit as in strength etc but it doesn't quite fit that well. It took quite a bit of modification to get it to fit the car properly.

Also the kit is rediculously low! I went for a drive through Manuka the other day and got beached on one of the speed humps there. It was a little embarrassing!

To get the kit from works auto without the optional spoiler was about $1500, a fair bit cheaper than a genuine!

Also i might just come along Tuesday night, trivia and meeting other skyliners never hurt anyone! What time is it on?

NathR32 yeah Lee was telling me one of you guys owned an R32 but he said it was a different colour to mine! I figured it would probably be the same. Done much to yours besides the front mount?

chintami i wasn't trying to ram you in the carpark today either!! I swear! Was just trying to think of too many things at once!

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
