hahaha

honestly why sell an R33 turbo to get a NA lancer if you're a performance car enthusiast?? listen to us all on SAU.. we all deal with the cops who hate modified cars. its something you deal with for the love of driving...

so are you a skyline or car enthusiast?

did you even have a choice in the matter or did you dad sell the R33 and buy this for you?

the R33 wasn't yours was it?

God you been on my back all the time havent you, once u reach my old cars stage of mods than you can talk

I was driving around in a manual Lancer in Syd, and just gave back a hire Getz.. Any manual 4cyl is loads of fun on the street. You can rev them hard and your not doing anything dangerous...good fun. An auto means its simply going to be a nice quiet car to A to B in....which means you will be retired whilst im scooping up dog shit from driveways because cars have left me broke :)

Lol, i always use the trip tronic, but yeah the auto goes with the comfort.

:) auto n/a lancer :O

if you really wanted a lancer, you should have got a evo6 etc

I wanted a brand new car.

I hear you going to a cheaper to run car but I would at least have gone for a manual. Not having a gear stick was what I hated most about a non powerful car.

Nice looking car anyway. :)

Thanks man, but yeah as i said b4 just bout the comfort :D

piccies no workie :(

I think they do :)

your move makes a lot of economic and practical sense. after a few more years of thrashing around in my skyline i plan to get a similar car

Thank you!!! Someone understands!!!! :sorcerer:

welcome to MIVEC yo...I've had it for a few years in 6A12 engine....new rims man at least..and some neons :)

Yeah rims are a must! lol. But i will have to pass on the Neons lol

lol kriz... sif not get a sik arse VL on gas and put VZ interior in it if u wanted new...

:)

interesting choice... probably would have opted for an S15 at that price range and being pretty newish.

So whats going to happen once ur off your Ps? Apparently those Hyundais are getting pretty "sporty"

:)

From what I remember Kris is a uni student with no job... keeping a Skyline with no job is um dumb.

Nice car man, enjoy!

well obvious it isnt much of an issue cause i dont know many people without jobs that can keep any car... let alone buy a brand new one.

God you been on my back all the time havent you, once u reach my old cars stage of mods than you can talk

RB20 powah will never make as much as the 33 did lol

From what I remember Kris is a uni student with no job... keeping a Skyline with no job is um dumb.

:P a fine example of one of sau's finest with no idea.

your move makes a lot of economic and practical sense. after a few more years of thrashing around in my skyline i plan to get a similar car

Yeah,... what he said, like when I'm 58 :(

its very sensible but aren't you afraid your going to get bored pretty quickly and just end up back in something quick?

...I am bored just by the thought of it...

but then again I am the king of spending money on unnecessary frivolity so my opinion is pretty worthless as far as financial decisions are concerned!

    • 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?
