breathless,

no worries - if we can get the numbers. i'll more than happily help everyone out

breathless = 2

NA power = 1

baldbeno = 1

another 1 or 2 more, and i'll shoot them an email - tell everyone, post it on r31skylineclub or whatever.

they are able to do RB30E for around the same price.

or if you want an SR20DE, maxima, or whatever - i could probably negotiate prices.

go to: www.partsco.com to check their coby, rage or pacemaker prices and details.

attached are some photos i've managed to get of my set that arrived just the week past. (dont mind the date stamp :D)

just letting you know I've got mine now. I think I'm the last to get them from this first Group Buy.

thanks again!

haha yes you are, sorry reggie. christmas delivery and all.

hope you are happy.

with georgia, that makes 5.

as long as everyone is 100% sure they want one, we can go ahead with this.

i'll shoot charlie an email to see if she will do another group buy. will hopefully have an answer by later this week

alright. i have spoken to partsco and they will honor us with the same deal as before.

i have started a new group buy thread. please refer to the link: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=151087

let anyone with an naturally aspirated rb motor know.

cheers

I'm interested as well eug =)

how can I get hpc? do I manually get it done after I receive the extractors or does partsco have extractors that have hpc?

cheers mate

pipes are on, high flow cat on, feelin' fine

just have a hissing noise, not sure what it is.

Kind of get that noise too.. Only when I push it a bit though.. Sounds nice lol Doesn't sound like a leak or anything, maybe just the sound of the exhaust gas passing through the extractors..

partsco send the headers to someplace to get hp coated.

please post in the group buy thread with what you require.

HolyEvil has had an unfortunate accident and will not be able to participate in the group buy.

We are back down to 3 orders.

Please see here for details: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=2838293

sorry to hear buddy - hope you get your car fixed. it is totally understandable that you have other priorities.

that brings the group buy back down to 3 people.

i'm sorry guys, but i never intended to run a 2nd buy. however about 10 people have requested that i run another one.

bottom line is, they wont work without your support. alot of talk and no action.

i am happy to help other members out, but don't waste my time - i do not make money out of these, infact i lose money due to transfer fees and international phone calls.

those on the list - i appreciate your support. it is the others that have let you down. i will let this play out till feb 2nd, and i will see if they will allow you guys as an "extended" buy off the first one or something.

regards

alright, i've got my gear on.

for the record:

- 2.5" outlet coby extractors

- 2.5" cat converter

- standard r33 gtr catback exhaust (2.5")

first impressions, much fatter mid range, no change in overall power, driveability is much better, each gear revs right out much more.

the overall power thing intrigued me a fair bit. i requested to keep my old system. came home and measured it all up.. what do you know. the cat converter was a 2.5" item (from compliance). the strange thing was that the standard cat-back system measured 2.25" right after the cat and becomes a 2.5" right before the muffler

this is the stock r33 gts25 system. i think i could get away with just replacing the extractors and the cat on its own.

however i am yet to give it a full bootfull just yet. with a largish system, the power will be made mainly in the high rpm range.

idle sound is a very very quiet hum, and makes noise up to 4k rpm, after that it just screams like an na motor.

but, you do need to drive it a bit for the carbon deposits to settle and fill in any gaps - only time will tell.

i am booked in for a dyno day in 2-3 weeks, i will post up the results after.

cheers

    • 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?
