Yeah i all ready sent them an email Kingy getting the Advan Neova AD08's for the R32 and i'm gonna get them New Hankook Ventus R-S3 285/35R18 for the R33 as they don't make the ad08's in a 35 profile in 285's, mackay roads are to shit house for 30 profiles. They give these new Hankook's a good wrap they are a 7.8 and the AD08's are 8.4 on tire rack so i'll give them ago, slightly cheaper aswell.

Yeah I borrowed a guard roller and did them myself, turned out pretty good I thought, didnt crack any paint... Not bad for a first try :) haha

They are 265/35 rears, factory arms etc. Just lowered a little bit, probably an inch maybe slightly more.

Still tossing up between rear camber arms or just camber correction bushes, will have to decide and take it in for a wheel alignment sometime soon

Think the camber at the front isnt to bad so not sure if ill bother adjusting front camber

Yeah adjustable arms are nice to have, but if yours is a everyday driver i would go with camber correction bushes because aftermarket arm have pillow ball ends (rose joints) and depending on what brand u buy they tend to flog out a fair bit especially mackay roads. I nearly have the full ikeya formula catalogue on my gtr, they are awesome bits a gear but cost you a arm and a leg...if only i had a spare 2k for front and rear lower adjustable roll centre kits...you wanna sponser me kingy lol

I got a full time job sponsering my own :nyaanyaa: lol...

You would not believe what i got quoted for a light globe at autobarn yesterday... $345 and have to order it in gotta be kidding me...

Is there anywhere in town that sell HID globes off the shelf??

Yeah i done the rounds today only place i could find that stock HID were ashdowns in paget but they didn't have the right one. and were 180 per globe lol

Got a pair off ebay for 110 from melbourne. Hope its the right one so many to pick from.

So I had to roll the front guards on my car today, thought they werent an issue but chewed a bit of tyre turning into a driveway the other night lol so decided to fix it today.

Hopefully all good, didnt do much damage just put a very small dint where one of the screws from the drivers side inner guard hit the other part of the guard but oh well. Not a bad job and it was free

Bored, Thought I'd put photos of my first car up seen as I got a bit nostalgic posting a photo of the engine bay in Bens build thread haha

Aftermarket lifters are a no-go in RB30E's

    • 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?
