No probs, Miguelone can probsly dig more details out if you need. He Knows Stuff. :ninja:

Haha nice, well i've already had the car for 2.5 months. Hasn't missed a beat *knock on wood*, Only thing i'm concerned about is that the km's might have been wound back.

Bought it with 85,000k's on the clock from an importer in Melbourne.

I'm paranoid that if it has been wound back my timing belt might never have been changed amongst other service things.

I think we all suspect dodgy kms but if it looks ok and goes ok then it's not a major issue but to be safe, praps it might be worth getting a pro to check it out and do it if need be. as in, belt kit, water pump and so on. Do all your own fluids and plugs if you can, Prevention and cure etc...

Yeah i've done all the fluids and plugs, Will be getting my regular mechanic to check out the belt kit and water pump + do a mini service for me.

Think i'm just paranoid.. but hard not to be when you read of so many horror stories.

Ecu's changed unsure on diff tho, might justify that nismo one I've wanted

Dunno what R32s are like but my 33 sits on maybe 3000 rpm at 100kms in 5th. Have a search and see.

Diff =/= Final Drive.

Final drive ratios for All 32 GTST's manual or auto are the same as R33 Auto Ratio (4.3:1) Manual 33 GTST's run a 4:1:1 final drive ratio.

The differential bolts inside of the crownwheel(Parts of the final drive) and this gives you your LSD. When you buy a Nismo LSD kit you will not get a new final drive crown and pinion so your ratio will stay the same.

    • 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?
