Mona you should follow Krystle's example. There is nothing to be scared of. If worried about your car, turn boost down. If worried about losing it, it doesn't matter, nothing to hit. If you're worried about Shonen beating you at something, let his tyres down.

Remember we need to save some slots for "Paul" Pancho Villa and the Mexicans. They save us spots for DECA so we should keep 10 spots for them. I don't think you will have any problems filling this up.

Mona - much more fun than the track. Much easier on the car.

For all our younger members who think they are hot on the streets - boys - lets see if you can do something that requires skill. Anyone with HP can smoke tyres....

I've been on the skid pan, I know how much fun it is, even if you're "3 seconds slower"! (That's f**k ALL over such a long distance)

and it's so hella fun, plus everytime you turn the key to head out, you learn something new about your vehicles handling technique.

awww.. thanks so much for the encouragement, but i can't make the 18th sept anyway! have a wedding to attend ;) won't even have time for a look see as i'll probably be with the bride all day :P

anyways, i'll just attend a skid pan day and see how i like going sideways! After the wet track yesterday, its made me realise how important it is to learn to control the car in all situations :)

Anyways, have fun all, and prob see you at the next one :(

    • 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?
