Yeah it's was on the J-spec and possibly Prestige site about a 10 months ago I reckon. Obviously everyone was scared off by the 5speed thing.. Either that or it's a heap. I wonder what else it's had done to it..?

we were SO close to buying that car.. and .. if its the car I think it is its on coil overs but just looked a bit thrashed/tired

I think the front bars been fixed up a bit since the photos I saw.

we were thinking of getting some rims similar to taht.. there were some BMW ones we saw that we loved !

well thats just odd because the first rule of SEVS is the car must be factory standard. Compliance is calculated on a stock version, and I just assumed that a manual conversion would have to go through emission testing etc etc >_<

Was thinking about getting this car, got the Mechanic inspection done by J-Spec. Evey thing looked good, nice body kit, nice color, 5 speed and some rust !!! oh well.... >_<

You're funny Jase :P

:laughing-smiley-014:

Seriously though.. About a year ago or whenever everyone was saying "this is a bargain, pity it can't be imported". Now that a fair few have come in I would have thought this would be snapped up pretty quickly..

you might get lucky with the transmission i suppose.. its not like your chucking a ferrari F1 box in it. :whistling:

i really doubt it having a manual when S1's didnt come with manuals would even cross their minds, and i know of a few aristo's that have been brought over with manual boxes in them too, when they never came with them from the factory.

you could always check with raws/sevs and see what they say on the matter..

I am pretty sure that compliance is for an engine not an engine/transmission combo. So Auto rb25det makes manual rb25det legal too...assuming it was standard from factory :D

Well it is a nice colour!!

But it is also a respray, and you're right I too saw it ages ago, about last September.

Respray and modified manual conversion, nah wouldn't touch it. Although it is cheap....obviously I'm not the only person that wouldn't touch it if it's been for sale for that long!

you could always check with raws/sevs and see what they say on the matter..

Please note - I'm not concerned about it because I'm not buying it :laughing-smiley-014:

Was just curious if anyone will buy it now. It's not a bad buy - on J-Spec now too I see...

    • 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?
