Anyone Have A Stock R33 Gtr For Compliance (willing To Pay $$$)

shhhh, just PM him quietly. I think the GTR is already on the road whistling.gif

Come on guys, I've been waiting 6months, anyone got a car I can borrow yet? lol

I had trouble getting it through but I worked something out with the compliance workshop and the importer in the end, it did take nearly 9months all up and there was over a month in compliance mostly over this issue.

The car has been registered since roughly October last year :(

Guys, I'm happy to see constructive discussion etc but if you would like to know more information regarding the business name etc please do this via PM to keep things clean. Cheers guy :)

Sure, I've clearly kept the business name(s) out of this but feel free to PM me if your interested, and R31Nismoid already warned us back in October :)

But thanks anyway.

Regards,

Gareth

What have you been told is causing issues with compliancing?

Performance mods?

If you make a list, and maybe even offer tem fo sale/swap with standard parts? that way everyone wins - you get to have your car complianced etc, and we end up with performance gear we're chasing. Beats buying parts to get your car complianced.

Just a thought!

On another note - i dont like the fact that we are able to give public praise to companys who do good work - but arent allowed to publicly warn others about dodgy workshops or bad experiences. Bit one-sided. A few workshops could do with having the threat of their dodgy mistakes and cheap tricks and shortcuts being broadcsted.

Just a long list of mods that they said were difficult to remove, mainly suspension related, very few performance mods themselves.

Eg. aftermarket front rotors, upper/lower control arms, suspension, braided brake lines, little things that add up time-wise.

Anyway, this thread is really old, this is all from last year.

Oh, me and the importer made a deal at the end so it did work out (sorta).

    • 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?
