INASNT: Hahaha - Sth Yarra is always going to be Sth Yarra :D

I should have posed the Lada in some shots - just to give it that more down-to-earth feel. My brother will bring the Civic back on the weekend - so will take a 'family portrait' of all 3 cars.

Baron: Sth Yarra and BMWs - it's a common pairing.

The people across the road have the white 318i and the black 320CE Benz. Their daughter has a mint Mazda R100 - 1969 model with less than 10,000ks on it! Literally the 'driven to church on Sunday' car. Pretty cool.

The other Bimmer is a green 735i - they have a Pathfinder also. Next to my house are 2 E36 3-series. The end of the street has a current shape 525i and I think there are a couple more near the roundabout. It's like Volvos in Camberwell.

Yeah the i saw the LADA!

havent seen any on the road until wheel of fortune stopped flogging em off as the major prize!!!

:lol: Major prize?? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Why do Lada's have heaters on the rear window?? To keep your hands warm while you push em!!

In all seriousness, I want that car!! Very nice! Are the wheels 17s or 18s? They look sweet :drooling:

riggaP: The Volks are 18x9.5". Has 265/35/18 Pirellis on it.

And my Lada doesn't have a rear window (convertible) :)

However... what do you call a Lada with twin exhausts?

A wheelbarrow.

What do you call a convertible Lada?

A mini-skip.

:D

    • 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?
