So...stuck at Melbourne Airport, should have been in the air by now but no.....what's the excuse? "It's a budget airline" or so the budget staff say! Anyhoo, nothing better to do than kill time here :) Should be in Hawaii in 10 hours time and I'm pretty sure I'll be even more pissed than I am now, never realised how well a pint or 5 of Kilkeny go's down with a bowl of chips. For those of you who care I'll be sure to sign on and update my antics :P Almost been in a blue with smart ass Jet Star staff and havn't even left the ground yet! See you this morning! (Yes we are going back in time, go go intenational date line!, a chance to rigth my wrongs!!) -Adz and Dee

when we went to Cairns via Jetstar.. supposed to leave at 8pm.. ended up going to Troys til 1am! Had a nice leisurely dinner. Shame our GeoffGTRtaxiservice had already left the airport :) Plane left at 2:30am...

Squashed knees against seats in front = 30mins of sleep max.

We get in at 6amish and have to drive to motel without map.. geez I have good instincts as to where to go :P

Anyway slept half the day and had to drive to Townsville the next day for a wedding so bit of a waste.. :\

but for $99 flights who can complain! (vs $300 each to townsville!)

Anyhoo, if you don't want to go to Hawaii on Jetstar, let me know and we can swap.. Dee & I can go shopping in the Waikiki Beach market hehe :D

PS Have fun & stay safe :D

Well.....STILL here, another $2 in the internet kiosk :) Yep Bec, sucks balls! Anyhoo, 3 double blacks later and still board. Can't say much for the service. Meal vouvher buys a drink though so thats a plus! Apparently another 2 hours....WTF!!!?? My advise, NEVER fly Jetstar. Yeah it's cheap but you gotta wonder why!

Bec - PIES!!!!

Basti - 2 weeks, who's that in your pic?

Yeah bugger off... bloody whiner.

My mum took 18 hours to get from Wellington Airport NZ to Melbourne airport... should take a max of 3.5 hours with a head wind.

Then when she came over again... she got stuck in Sydney for 5 hours on their tarmac and wasnt allowed to leave the plane or even order any food... this is while i was at Melbourne waiting for her... they wouldnt even let them off the plane to call anyone to let them know they were going to be late.

    • 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?
