So guess what everyone is saying is that I basically wasted my money on developing the soon to be patented "GT-R stealth power install".

As the grid marshall said at Wanneroo the other week "He'll never keep up with that Westfield". Fk it I was a second a lap faster than him. Who would have thought you needed a shopping list of manufacturers plasted all over your Nissan to get some respect. :(

It came like that from the factory, occifer.

Have you tired of me telling you how much i love your R33. I remember years back at my old job i use to sit at my computer staring at pics of it and wishing i had it. The old owner had a pretty decent website covering the build of it back in the day....please bring it to Vic Dutton. :)

its just a shame as i am going to sell it as i need the money for the 34 and i havent even driven it yet!!

cheers russ

Awesome cars guys... i think i need a change to circuit racing... just cant afford it though... have to wait till i get a bit older and more financial, for now drag racing is the biz, sponsors are a big help :)

cool, sounds good. yeah that white saurus built car is lovely. still street driven too. I even had a little play with him as we were both driving back along the freeway towards tokyo! Saurus build some awesome cars and their work is very high quality.

First was the 200SX

Sold the GT-R to buy a house...

Then inspite of searching for another S14 or GTSt I ended buying an RX7 and it should hit the track at the end of the year

post-31523-1185154932_thumb.jpgHere is an example of a WA Skyline that goes pretty well.

Same story with the dollar spend...nice small house in the country comes to mind though.

Yes but your Skyline does really GO Evan!!

But, we all wanna see the "special" car you're building......read we all wanna drool over the car that looks like an S13 :):sleep::w00t:

Great thread and cars guys!

I took my V35 out on the track about a month or so ago, and have since decided that trying to squeeze quick times out of it will involve mega dollars.

So being inspired from this thread, I've decided that I'm gonna look into getting a dedicated R32 track car.

Now I just have to tell the "Director of Funds Allocated to Spending On Cars"

    • 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?
