yes this is my final post from o/s however i just wanted to let you guys know what i stumbled across today by total accident. the nismo international headquatres/ tuning house.

it was so ****ing cool, things were so cheap there anyone that buys any nismo product in australia is being ripped off. i managed to buy a few things :D there were so many gtrs around that place it wasnt funny. they sold everything there, i spent 28000 yen there. oh you know the nismo keys that are for sale around the place for i think 100 dollars or something they cost me about 18 dollars australian. stickers were so cheap also, also little nismo badges for the car where cheap, nismo oil caps, fuel filler caps, radiator caps all cheap. gear knobs cheap, cigarette lighters cheap. its a pitty i didnt have more money and space as they had a few nice dash clusters!!!!!!

oh and another rad thing about the place is they had a workshop there where you could watch out the window. i had a galnce and there was an r32 gtr, r33 gtr and before i was about to leave what did i hear i wasnt sure so i turned around and the nicest r34 gtr i have ever seen was driven in. I was like whoaa and the lady who i was trying to talk with was like whoa as wel, a customers car, nice car ,nice...... it was an awesome place.

for anyone that is going to tokyo get of at shimbaya(spelling) station and go and check this place out, have plenty of cash ready also. oh i took many photos of this place including all the cars, so i will post them up when i get back....

^peace

I was like that with all the cheap car stuff in taiwan!

But u can only bring in a certain amount of stuff like that otherwise customs rape u and make u pay import tax on the stuff!

I sent most of the stuff i bough overseas, clothes comp stuff etc through DHL and u gotta declare stuff with them to.

heres the link to there site... http://www.nismo.co.jp/ use a translator if you cant read kanji and follow the links to the omori shop....its got the prices there....but i cant see any keys for 1300 yen???

Yup, there is some awesome nismo stuff in there (including a PDF catalogue).. but they don't ship out of japan, says so on there :) :) :P

    • 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?
