Hi V35 people,

Great to see an australian v35 forum.

I was planning to pick up a v35 tomorrow and had an inspection report done by state roads. They rekon that the passenger window is not working properly as it goes back down a bit after hitting the top. The owner rekons this is normal.

:)

Is this normal ppl?

Yes this is normal, its a safety/security feature on a lot of new jap and most european luxury cars which ensures that the window is sealed.. State roads don't know what they are talking about. Congrats on the purchase :)

Both passenger and driver's windows should drop a little when opened and raise up to seal below the turret moulding when closed; otherwise the glass hits the moulding when you close the door. As I have mentioned i have been having trouble with my driver's door power window and when it was stuck up it was difficult to close the door because the glass hit.

Got it fixed today (hopefully!!) and they think it was the module (or relay I think) driving the motor.

Also found out about the fuel door because I checked a few cars while there; as mentioned before when the car is locked so is the fuel door; when the car is unlocked the fuel door is pressed to open. Some of the cars I checked, the fuel door sprung open when I held the open button on the key - weird!

It was done under warranty so I don't know what it cost; done by E&M Unique Motors, 21 Parramatta Rd, Fivedock Phone 02 9799 9333. See the owner Michael who is honest, helpful and courteous

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      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?
