The Ben Simpson Memorial Cruise - proceeds to Youth Suicide Awareness

http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/BSM-Cru...eb-t210902.html

Hi all, this is my first time posting up a cruise event, so bare with me

This is a very important event, its a cruise for a special cause, that cause is Youth Suicide Awareness.

Basically on Feb 4th (please look at link - http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/BSM-Cru...b-t210902.html) a large cruise will be taking place, clubs from all over S.A will join and unite as one to donate money to help support Youth Suicide Awareness. A stuffed toy in the car on the day would also be much appreciated for those whom we've loved and lost.

The meeting place will be in the north eastern suburbs and venture into the hills, no speeders or show offs will be tolerated as this event has very special meaning to alot of people and cars crashing or being stupid will be kicked out. General rule of thumb.

If you arent a member of NS.Com, im sure the oldes Mark and Jules will come on this forum and pm those interested the final details. Police are being notified so therefore there should be no trouble.

Im hoping many of you attend, it will be great for some members of SAU to show there compassion, and there fine vehicles.

Thanks for the thread & your support Nathan.

We will try to be brief, on the 1st Feb 07 it will be 2yrs since we very unexpectedly lost our only son Ben (aka dr1ft_pig13)a 19yr old drift and import fanatic to suicide. How it all started Ben was also heavily involved in NS.com ....as we have been since he he left us. We have used all our time & resources to raise awareness of youth suicide & how it can happen to anyone. You may have seen his memorial stikas "RIP dr1ft_pig 13 always remembered" on imports around town.

On the day of his funeral the guys had a cruise in his honour and because he loved teddy bears they had a stuffed toy on an empty seat in his memory....so this will be the third memorial cruise.

You are MOST welcome to come in any type of vehicle...a gold coin donation to Youth Suicide Awareness & if u have a loved soft toy, please let it ride on an empty seat, with you. Hope you are able to make time & join us.......see you there.

    • 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?
