Well done man. I bet that makes all the late nights working on the car after work worthwhile now?!

Reece's car is in a totally different catagory. Bloody lightweight, stripped out race car on slicks with a HKS2.8l egine. Theo's rocket is a full weight, full interior(except stereo and back seat) street based car on street radials running the factory 2.6l crank/capacity.

Keir Wilson's street radial time is well within reach now. 8.89 at 160 at jambo a couple of years a ago with an OS 3.0l and much lighter car as well. I take it that is the next nymber you are chasing hey?!

rec 0.432

60 1.427

330 3.859

660 5.853

mph 124.24

1000 7.542

ET 8.957

mph 159.86

kph 257.27

genuine congratulations theo.

it will be nice to see that 60 foot drop with the slicks.

159 mph is quick, proves its making good horsepower.

reaction is good too.

hopefully you can take this into competition and gets some wins on the board.

shane >_<

big marky J will be back for the grabbing , but big congrats

The fact that Mark tuned the car for Theo this time shows the sort of bloke Mark Jacobsen is and an example of the friendly rivalry in the sport, no cloak and dagger stuff you find in other forms of motorsport. These two guys (theo and mark) are so approachable and the first ones who will be around to give a bit of advice and share the knowledge they have.....top stuff fella's.

    • 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?
