BOOSTMEISTER: Thnx for the info, and like u said i had already decided to not use a garrett core... to put it bluntly they are one of the hsitest cores i have found!! I have had some very good luck and have got onto a secret i am gunna blow now, that most of the top flowing cores with the leasst pressure drop and still very good cooling efficiency is the new Adrad core which i am jumping to get hold of. As for ARE... they are the end tanks i am after!! If i'm not wong wrong ur a freak... u knew all my moves :(:) Yeah basically they were the people who sorta steered me away from cooler prices. I was after an ARE cooler for my car after many conversations with Richard from ARE via e-m@il i decided to go with one until i thought about what i was paying for it. It was around the 1200 mark which i believe is a bit too much and is the reason i am trying to almost halve that for u guys!! Basically it will be an ARE cooler i am selling.

:mad: no probs mate. I remember when I was looking at my first cooler, I looked at all the Jap stuff ( I used to import straight from Japan) and the ARE stuff was just as expensive, I was about to get a TRUST cooler but after I looked more carefully at the ARE one I realised it was far superior. I guess the thing with price is that Richard runs a business and has to pay high rent, wages and all the other running costs that are associated with owning a business. You have to make profit to run a business I guess :)

There are also other costs that he incurred that you will not have to if you use his designs......you won't need to spend the 800 hours on a flow bench to see if your idea works which will save you money. Also he runs a very expensive welder $38 000 I think, that thing can weld the fins on a core (paper thin alloy) which means that the finish product is beautiful with perfect welds etc.

If you can achieve an equal with their product then fantastic but please don't advertise on here that you are selling an ARE cooler unless it is spot on if you know what I mean

(Don't take offense to this, I am just offering some advice, Richard is a friend and one of the nicest people I have met especially in the aftermarket game, he has spent years and years perfecting his product and doesn't deserve to have his reputation tarnished)

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      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..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      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

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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
