Update on the oil..

I've found the Castrol 10w60 to be a little too thick.

WOT over 3500rpm now see's 8kg/cm2 on the stock guage. :cheers:

Idle is 3, cruise ~2000rpm is 5. Cold start max's out the guage.

Prior to the castrol i ran motul 8100 5w40.

Idle - Needle over 2, cruise ~2000rpm - 4, WOT over 4000rpm 7 (only just).

It appears to make oil pressure much much more quickly now.. 3500rpm vs 4000rpm to see its peak oil pressure.

I think this is too high personally.

4Door_sleeper, whats yours run at?

lately ive watched quite a number of movies. Movies that ive seen which i can remember of the top of my head include..........

initial d the movie - pretty average

sin city - awesome just awesome. worth the money/watching

the island - quite good

land of the living dead - quite dissapointing actually, although i wasnt expecting much

house of wax - very good

what about others, what have you guys/girls seen lately and what did u think of it?

damn that is a v.nice paint job!

Hey Sam, would you be able to paint my wheel centres in your shed? They are stripping off the chrom lip and the centres, and they should be ready to mask and paint when I get them back. Do you think it would be an easy job? Also, are heatproof paints easy to come by? Otherwise I might just get the entire wheel mirror polished. Pic attached. Also 2 pics attached of what mine would look like polished.

im sure you can do it yourself andrew. go on. there was someone on this forum who did it themselves with a spray can - i bet that put you off straight away didnt it, to his spokes much like what you do to your calipers. But if you want the silky factory coloured look, use a spray gun which i guess sam would be the one to do it. im sure he's still in Adelaide atm.

I actually do have a compressor and spray gun etc .... but have never used them. Maybe I will give it a go myself. I wonder how hard it would be to do shadow chrome - that is what I would really like for the spokes.

    • 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
