hey Krishy. how was the cognac mate ? fin it all ?

It was like the nectar of Gods mate....PM sent

I just made the hottest fkn lamb curry and for the first time ever struggled to even consume it!!! Great excuse to cool it all down with beer :)

Nothing is every too hot for me...also beer doesnt help it will intensify the heat lol

pritty sure there is a guide on the site??

also i thought that the 040 is not a direct fit replacment?? but maybe thats just for gtr's

The Bosch 040 that i use in my car went in without problems....but i can assure you that it does have pickup problem once it goes below 1/4 tank.....tried it once to test it out....and on a hot day the car just cut out.....still had 1/4 of fuel in there chucked in 5 litres it was fine enough to get to the servo....never doing it again lol

Hence why i am thinking of getting NISMO GTR replacement one....similar to the OEM one

Just an excuse for why there were so many empty cans when the mrs got home from work :( Was fkn hot however

Damo, you can check your battery/alternator with a multimeter if you have one.

While on the topic of electrics ... who's got a timing light I can borrow? I think someone offered the use of one previously, but I never took the offer (been so damn busy!)

Tried fixing my old one, but it just won't work. I bought it 6 or so years ago for $30 ... the same timing light is for sale now for $60! :rofl:

Also, found the fueling problem with the Stagea. Fitted the stock FPR in last night and its running better. :(

ahh i am a member, sounds like a plan, thanks Luke!

need to get the 34 retuned as well, Boostin Oz is $150 to see where its at, then they ring and tell you how much it needs and how much it costs. But, they don't work Saturdays, and id have to take time off work to drop off and pick up the car. Also, they are only 10 mins from my house. Southern Hi Tech is $350 for a retune, but they are open Saturdays, so no days off work, but they are down south, about 30-45 mins away. decisions!

    • 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?
