The answer to all your questions there are, no idea :(

I will be pulling it out when i put the new turbo, and ecu in...so 1-2 months time. As for cost, no idea how much they go for, plus i may hang on to it for regency issues. Power wise...Krishy i think is still using a stock series 1 afm, so about 220rwkw, maybe a bit more.

very very nice power figure Dave specially when its untuned.....R33 AFM's are good for about 250rwkw's and that would be most likely maxing them out at that point....i am going to get the car tuned with the stock AFM and see how much we can squeeze out of it before swaping to a Z32....i am only making 211 atm.....Saturday should tell :(

can someone help me out ?

i bought an engine off this forum which was apparently working etc etc and had been pulled apart and put back together professionally but after putting it in the car and

being compression tested it has low compression (waiting on exact figures).

the guy i got it off said that when i picked it up it had a timing belt on it and the timing was set to tdc but ive come to find that it was missing idler and tensioner pulleys , not to mention

it was also missing oil seals around the back of the cam pulleys and its missing bolts off the intake manifold.

it also had heaps of missing coolant lines...

what can i do ?

ask for my money back ?

ask him to pay for repairs ?

shit mitch your situation is getting worse day by day mate.....well you can give the seller the 2 options and see what he says in regards to it....goodluck with it mate....just cant wait to see your ride back on the road

you and me both man !

so over this crap

but i got some good news this morning

got accepted into tafe to study Cert II in Automotive Mechanical , starting jan next year :)

makes me think about my power figures....when i first got my car tuned..it still had its n/a fuel pump and reg...but had a early darkhalf rechipped ecu (before realtime) and rb20 redtop nics injectors...it pulled 175.4kw at the treads..but leaning out big time in the top end....this latest tune it had a bosch 040 pump and a vlt reg...but only pulled 150.....my first tune it was still using the same AFM as when the car was on lpg n/a and had it blown apart a few times.....i dont get it....when it was first tuned....it had the same fuel filter and plugs from over a year previously....me dont know...me too little

Dave, get in touch with luke

he still has his GTR pump, and glenn has a Z32 that he'll no longer need, solves both problems then

Correct, got a nice GTR fuel pump sitting here with your name on it. And Glenda has a Z32, problem solvered

messing around with the valve timing without knowing what you're doing can definitely have an effect on compression.......very easy to dial in and dial out compression by varying the valve timing slightly.

Might be running like crap though but if it's not running yet, be careful of any valve to piston contact

you can ask for anything but your chances of getting it are minimal since it was a private sale so it's a case of buyer beware. that's why buying engine off wreckers will cost you more because they generally come with a start up warranty, so in this case you would have been covered.

I'm still waiting for you to clear the air about your claims about TT. you read the post that SLED made and yet you didn;t see fit to reply.

SCANDY;

S1 R33 and R32 AFM will support around the 210-220rwkw, but the SII R33 (pink sticker, 3 wire plug) will support around the 235rwkw mark. i wouldn't pay more than $100 with the plug for one. I paid $55+20 for the plug for mine and if you look around you can still find them for that price.

how far down south do you live Daniel and how soon do you need it on the road?

Me or Matty could tow it up for you possibly.

if i had a winch on my trailer we'd be right..........but i dont :) and i dont hav my winch on the car yet (or a front towbar point for that fact)

nice. how much? :)

    • 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?
