mmm... nice, but still something about the Bayside Blue tho :), any pics to change my mind?? Mind if i ask why u changed cars?? The blue looked awesome!! Vented bonnet, 19inch rims (i think)... looked like quite a few goodies in her too...

oh and congrats on the new move. Been recommended by quite a few ppl to your place, cos i was doing some research into where i could get a car serviced/modified etc as i wasn't too keen on going out to Thomastown or whatever, seems i live in Sandringahm, so u guys are pretty close.

have u had experience with any RAWS compliancing yet? or still too early?

cheers.

well well, seems denton has already taken some pics of Dean's car...

check this out..

hahahaha, i know sniffy, look at dean's "Car" section, R34 GTR VSpec and R32 GTR.... very nice! :P

i like the blue too,i sold it because an old fella in sydney made me an offer too good to refuse and when it came time to find a replacement decided i didnt want the same color.

it was quicker 335kw than this one ,but a bit hard core too,this will be under 300kw but will drive like a stocker and not attract as much attention.

still too early on the raws.

we have passed our stage 1 audit,stage 2 audit is 20th may,once we pass that we will be good to go.

cool on the photos,yep the boys took photos before me,i dont have any photos yet.

it has nothing to do with inflating prices.

av price will be $4000-$5000.

costs will be much higher.

brake pads,expensive cat convertors,pollution canisters,just to name a few.

also most shops will need to employ a book keeper to do all the paperwork required.

all equipment needs to be tested and logged.

its nothing like the old system,mountains of paperwork etc.

the costs will be higher and i doubt we will make anymore money on a $4000 compliance job,compared to a $2200 job under the old system.

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • 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
