I massively wish someone would teach me how to use usenet. The vast majority of my 40Gb 'internal' data on Adam does not get used.

hrm its not hard

usenet was the first exposure to the tcp/ipv4 internet.... back before mosaic was even invented (ala the internet had no www)...

its pretty simple, you download a news client like eudora or something similar, log onto the server and look in all the categories. best stuff is under alt.binaries but theres really a group for everything

at worst you'll need a base64 or uuencoder/decoder to get the binaries converted from 7bit to 8bit format but its very easy to pick up

a lot of isp's stopped carrying decent usenet feeds and only now is it starting to get popular again

(usenet is an evolution of fidonet for those old enough to remember bbs portals)

MIght have a look at my coilpacks when i get my car back which is hopefully this week i hope..god i hope lol

Also buying new tools this week :P as my dads 3 grand worth of tools were stolen round 5 yrs ago n havnt replaced em yet lol

Luke,

I used that Ultra Grey Loctite stuff. I covered the base and top section of the coil pack ensuring I squeezed silicon in between the coil pack and its mounting ring bit if that makes sense.

I run copper plugs so have the coils out every 20-30k. So far so good the silicon is sticking and not peeling off etc.

make sure you give them a little wipe with metho or something so the silicon sticks. :)

Its been a good 1.5yrs and they are still going strong. :P

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • 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
