I'm rediculously bored. Worked from 8am to 6pm today, then working 8pm to 6am tomorrow and wednesday. Gotta love the graveyard shifts :P

I should find out tomorrow if I can get my new car or not. Seeing as I no longer have a missus as of satdy, I sorta have less inclination to get a normal car, but thinking about the defects and money I'll waste if I keep the skyline, I'm still hoping it goes ahead :banana:

This is my hobby :D

And hell no I don't need a harder job, I love what I do (weather pending :banana:) it's so easy just drivin cars around all day (when it's not pissing with rain or stinking hot).

I could just go to bed, but I don't wanna wake up at like 10am-midday then do nothing for 6-7 hrs then go to work and be ready to fall asleep at 2am (with 4hrs of work left to go :P)

Just got a phone call from mum, almost got hit head on by a wanker in a cop chase, needless to say she is hysterical, f**king deadshits in this world piss me off, how can someone be so shit at life.

:S that sucks Damo. Least shes ok

My mum got hit head on by a truck when i was about 2, mum was stuck in the car and they had to cut her out.

and yeh.. im bored right now...I been home from work sick for 2 days.

Ok a little random, but thats what wasteland is for. Was talkin to Heslo and few others on saturday night about a 'ghost tour' I did of the old adelaide gaol not too long ago, and few of us are keen to do it again. Its $20 and goes for maybe 2 hours or so. I had paranormal investigators as my tour guides, they were awesome, and i love this stuff, yet they still got me pretty freaked out!

So yeah anyone else be keen? I need a minimum of 15 people to make a booking, and im pretty sure they do it on the last friday of every month.

    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • 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.
