My gf had a couple of 31's.. and after many issues with old cars and stuff breaking and needing fixing week after week.. we decided to sell them. The plan was to buy a nicely maintained one.. or something along the lines of that. Anyway i did a service on this 32 4 door and it was for sale.. after looking over the car and seeing the price.. my gf had to buy it.. the car is mint!

Stock as a rock factory manual turbo, just has new lowered springs and shocks in it.. drives very nice thats for sure... its nicer to drive then mine... until you floor it that is :(

No major plans for it at this stage, maybe an exhaust and a cooler, but to be honest my gf is loving having power windows, climate control etc etc lol so its a big step up thats for sure.

Will post some more pics later of both of them side by side in the sun... we only got it the other night ;)

wow thats top news. i seen this on carsales during the week as i was looking for a car to replace my burnt out shell. looked very nice. and its also a factory pearl white isnt it? there is a pearl white one near where i live and i thought it had been resprayed but maybe thats how it came. its a tuff colour i think.

ive always wanted to have 2 myself as i think they are a pretty orsome car in stock form as a dayly. no commo or falcon can offer such features at that age.

Schmenz: My plans for the car are to buy a cooler and exhaust at some stage... I have got plans for it but i dont think i will be doing too much with it

while im paying off a loan :rofl:

Its quite nice having 2 4 door 32's at home... I would MUCH rather be in Simon's car than mine most of the time (his 25 makes me jealous :))

    • 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?
