We bit the bullet today and dropped the gearbox out of dad's road GT-R. We're still waiting on the new front shaft to arrive. But the car is all tarted up on the outside now, and apparently it looks alright.

Spotted the BMS II GTR today ben in my very hungover state.

Update for us, spent till 2:30am on friday night at the sign writers getting done, developed a miss at symmons on thursday so hopefully that is all good now (think it was just fouled plugs).

All the little shit things i am not capable of doing are being done today, and hopefully get some more recce in this arvo.

Good Luck to everyone, come say hi and don't be afraid of the pink pussy!

Spotted car 819 scrubbing some tyres in at Basky today. Had a couple of issues so they called it a day early. Can't wait for it!! Will make sure I come say hello to a few people if they are about........so if someone comes up and says "Hi I'm scotty from SAU"....thats me :lol:

Some more stickers to go on, and degrease the engine bay from when the motor dies.

YYYEEEHHHHAAAAA, we finaly made it, look out for the car, Targa Tasmania Rookie Rally car 108, 1971 Hilman Hunter Royale GT. LOL.

We did a 3:36.78 in the 200sx with a few hiccups along the way few missed gearchanges and bloody launching off an island!

Currently placed 5th in the rookie behind Vandenberg (EVO), Dunkerton (EVO), Maguire(Sti) and Coutts (Sti).

So not too bad!

yeah we're stoked, 3rd in category 8 :whistling: hopefully we can keep it up tomorrow.

But more importantly....can anyone who can lend us a 32 GTR gear shift tomorrow give me a call on 0419 BOOTY CALLS - we have lost the nylon bush at the bottom of the gear lever on the other car so there are no gears....help!

we will source one from nissan tas or the mainland tommoz, but we will need one for the day to stay on the road.....HELP

    • 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?
