mehnin shane..

teh car is booked in to get raised, and apparently i need some offset bushes to fix my steering lol

is it a good idea to cut some metal off my exhaust flange, i need to get 2cm more clearance was thinking raise the car 1-1.5cm and cut the flange for the extra bit.

hey isaac

sif pay to get ur car raised lol :laugh:

to lift it up? if its sagging down, yeh id cut the flange to lift it bak up, just make sure theres no nasty angles, or u could run into problems with leaking gaskets etc

nah i figured i'd get my steering fixed aswell as the car often wants to send me off the road into a tree when i let go of the steering wheel (pulls quite violently to the left) as one tyre shop put it when they said the fixed the problem but didnt - "mate at least its on the 'safe' side of the road not pulling into oncoming traffic" dodgy kernts

and i dont quite follow your flange advice. I meant the flange on my exhaust is the lowest point, was going to snip a bit of it away with a grinder or something to give me a bit more ground clearance.

lol dodgy fochers indeed!

whoops, i was talking about the bits of metal that hold the exhaust up...i dunno about cutting the flange itself

anyways i'm off to teh wesleh hospital for work plus have to ring teh boss and work out the conditions of me working in rocky for 12 months as thats now the plan....enjoy your day peepz

    • 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?
