hey guys and gals,

A couple of my good friends were involved with very bad accidents on our WA roads recently but id hate to go into detail however there was serious damage to themselves and their pride and joy,their cars.

Always check your vehicles(e.g tires,) and (upgrade brakes sensibly if you have more HP).

For u ppl out there with a heavy foot but dont want to admit it,please slow down.I dont want anything to happen to any more of my friends, thanks

you are never in control of your cars

Yes most of you have seen those pictures of Matts Skyline (non member) i posted in Whoretown - he may have walked away with no scratches but it was a very serious accident theres not much left of the car - please we arent invincible - the horrible reality is that we may not kill ourselves but innocents that may just be in the wrong place at the wrong time. I know lately ive seen some pretty close calls with myself - one being a Gemini losing control in the wet weather and heading straight for me. So Aidwin has a point lets just put more thought into our driving.

There is indeed a time and a place for everything. Id like to say if you need to get it out of your system then go hit the track. But its a bit hard for some of us especially if you arent a member of a club or have a cams licence etc..

So with that in mind i'll say this. If you want to play up, make sure its at a time and place where no ones around, not just for minimizing the chances of getting caught but primarily to reduce the chance of you risking the lives of others.

And make sure your in the car alone, don't play up with passengers, it might be cool to show your mates how fast your ride is, but can you live with the guilt of losing them? If anyones head is on the block because of your stupidity, ensure its ONLY yours.

I have my time and my place, i suggest you find yours :D

Stay safe!

i think thats the wrong advice to give. people should learn how to control their cars to prevent thim from getting into trouble and possibly causing an accident.

know your car, know your driving limits and you will be able to minimise the risk of being in an accident (of course there are those which arent your fault but we have no control over that)

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      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

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
