This Series2 is pretty cheap I thought!! Almost consider selling my S1 and buying it for the better motor! Needs another 1K spent on vin/reg/wof.

Non turbo...

Haha yeah whoops, thought it was from RS-4 title, but didn't look it in pics. How could you tell for sure? ....apart from maybe price.. :-\

Engine covers are a dead give away, they are different between turbo and non-turbo. Also intake piping is straight from the airbox, not enough pipes there.

Cheers

well that probably explains a lot...

it DOES say turbo on the j-spec link though... and i didnt think you could import the non-turbos, as they didnt meet performance / power/weight criteria or something like that?

was drooling over my baby last nite looking at all the pics and noticed what apear to be 2 ariels at the back on the roof next to the racks.has anyone seen theese type of thing before??? hence it may have a usless jap tv lol

They are still on my car!!! I like em and wont take em off. Looks weird, looks cool, looks STAGEA

They are TV/Sat Nav Rabbit ears antenna. My S1has the remnants of the sticky shit from the D/S tape. Still dont know how to get it off without buggering the duco.

Also I guess it is why my CD dont work. Because some FW took out the Sat Nav and stuck in a stocker Head Unit.

Its my next job to fix.

Rome was not built in a day.

directed at 66yo stagea.

have you tried eucalyptus oil to get rid of the sticky stuff or even BIG KEV'S goo remover? i have found either of these to get rid of most things gooey!!

stereo is sorted for my new baby ive picked the new rims out just gotta wait for her to get here so they can fit one up to make sure it fits ok.i dont wanna get em and not fit hey.

lol, its amazing how much money you can spend doing up a car, without even seeing the car with your own eyes.

oh my god im an ebay junky lol just got the stagea owners manual

I was gonna put in bids on those items, but considering I have no funds to allocate towards them, I wisely decided against it.

mike i hope for your sake it doesnt take as looooooooooooooong as mine :D im still waiting on mine and its been nearly 12 weeks....

hehehehe and i havent stopped counting the days yet, but getting close :P

    • 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?
