  • Apex Pod (Replaced the K&N oily one that came with the car)
  • 40mm Alloy Rad
  • Uras Bodykit (Now sold and back to standard)
  • HKS Oil Cooler
  • Rainbow Sox
  • Extreme HD Clutch
  • Bleed valve @ 0.8Bar

Reinhard. Complete with removable mufflers and silencers (excellent for street use).

Here is a vid of my drifting with the exhaust fitted:

That's all for now. Konect.

NICE VID!

what is the tune like on it? sounds a bit laggy? love the RB sound though!!

Nah probly more my driving that makes it laggy. Was my first run for the night so I was a bit out of practice, later on I started keeping the revs up while on handbrake so it wouldn't bog down, then slamming third for the last corner.

Tune is the normal jap tune (rich as a mofo!) and comes on about 2.5k revs which is about normal. Not too bad to drive :)

Thanks for the comments :yes: Will get better footage next month.

nice car mate, it reminds me of the one in bigx in hpi9 (except yours is better), i cried when i saw what they did to that car :nuke: ..... and the laurel :):)

lol yeh i have that vid! OH my poor car, at least it doesnt get rolled on its roof...yet, touch wood :D

    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • 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.
