Stick with the std stuff, and go have a few wild weekends on the sauce. Bets find another $200-300, buys you much better gear

i ohnestly didnt understand most of what you said... could you elaberate?

With pricing, im going from stock r32 and buying all performance parts with money from other car, meaning my pocket will only be so deep

i think he means to use the standard stuff and if you can get another $200-$300 then you can get better stuff...?

ive got the HSD HR coilovers in my car and i couldnt be happier with them, you can still feel the bumps in the road as i have mine on pretty stiff settings, but it handles a lot better now. i havent tried them on the softest settings yet. but they are alot better than the stock parts.

Yeh, was just saying that either pocket your money and spend it on a few big weekends. OR, pocket your money and save for a little longer and look at some other options. $1400 is a lot of money to get a compromise. If you were talking $1000 id say they are a good option. But if you are able to get the buidget up around $1700-1800 then you have many more options.

A friend has HSD in his S13. They are pretty good, and considering the pace at which he punts the car they are obviously pretty good on the track. But htey knock like bastards on the street (since only a month or two old) and they are pretty hard on the street. My personal thoughts are if youa re going to spend that much money, perhaps consider what another few hundred buys you.

...and i understand completely about the pockets only being so deep. Sucks doesnt it when the plans for your car are killed by cash flow

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      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
