lee just noticed your selling the 33, looking at downsizing or upgrading?

Neither, Im taking a side step :miner:

Brooke is 17 weeks pregnant (almost half way) so the Skyline is going to make way for a far more family friendly car.

I have bought a Mitsubishi Legnum from Japan; it's on the boat in about a week. So the skyline has to go to cover the cost and make room.

Here is the new car:

2.5L TT V6,

AWD,

Active Yaw Control

5sp Tip Tronic (technology developed by mitsi, bought by porsche for use in their cars)

Active Stability Control

Traction Control

260ps ~ 191kw

Should be a good fun family bus :)

Totally agree Carl, thats why I ended up with legnum. I wanted to stay a nissan faithful, but after seeing a stagea and a legnum in the flesh, it had to be the legnum.. Plus 5sp tiptronic and AYC couldnt be matched by the stagea.

yeah Allan i will be at the photoshoot prolly late however

i may update the 02 sensor thread today i havnt had any chances to do any research on the R32 sensor fitting a R33 one, makes it hard when doing 7am till 7pm

awesome news

heartfelt congratulations from my little family 'brew

Thanks for the well wishes Tangles :P

The gearbox is actually the same box used in the local AWD magnas (although released 10 years later lol) BUT parts are available locally for them, so that removes that worry. The Torque Converter seal is known to be a little fragile on the trans, but thats about a $500 fix, apart from that they are fairly bullet proof. A good trans cooler and regular fluid flush and they'll last 300,000+ kms.

haha, no nappy changes practiced yet! My best mate (well his wife) just had their 2nd child, so have a 3 week old to practice on if i choose... however Im happy to wait and have my wife teach me LOL

As for the baby bonus, it will be helping to pay for my wife to have more time off work. We are looking at her having a full 7-8 months off work so need all the $$ we can get for that (damn mortgage!)

mines been off work for 5.5yrs now

isnt easy

but then again, we choose to raise our children our way with our morals/values, not those of the child care centre

its a choice and a hard decision

considering most months Im putting in 40-45% of my wage onto the home loan (been doing that since I was 18!)

looking at a house on sunday (cant make photo shoot / cruise).......... big, could reduce our debt potentially down to around 20grand only (currently 75k owed on house)

did you want me to get an adult nappy, soil it, for you to practice on ?????

:P :P

    • 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?
