guy at work scraped the side of my gtr in the car park , a totally empty car park with like 30 bays and 2 other cars in it .

he wasnt going to say anything but someone else at work saw him

if you cant park a car without hitting other cars you shouldnt be on the road

god knows what he would do if he had an actually difficult emergency situation to deal with....

mine had a nice dent just behind the passenger door, just under the window from a door on a 4wd that parked next to me...

how hard is it to open the door gently and get out? rather than ripping it open, and jumping out? i'm sure they wouldnt be too impressed kicked the front door of their house in..

Yeh, i pulled up in the woolies car park, a 4WD pulls up next to me, so i thought ill wait for her to park up b4 i open the door. The next thing i know she parks up and opens her door into my door... Im sitting there going :D!!! Turned out to be a really small dent (even though it did sound rather loud) so i let her off.

they have used a screwdriver or something coz its dug into my paint to snap it off.

im pretty f*cken dark about it, but what can you do! i hate leaving my car in a side street in Belmont every day, way too many dodgy (unts walking around, but i have no other choice.

Yeah Belmont is heaps dodgy, I work just off Gt Eastern Hwy and as I was heading out for a smoke one day spotted some dodgy person walking through our carpark (it's kinda out the back with only one entrance), car was untouched though :laugh:

hey's don't bag the Magna drivers!!! especially not the maroon ones!!

there are ppl every now and then, that's why I always park next to a kerb, at least one side of my car will not get banged...I have a dent as well..I'm guessing off 4WD...always have to avoid 4WD damn idiots, think their cars are big

    • 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?
