Abe I'm 99% sure it's the video card. It stuffed up about a yr ago, replaced with a second hand one where the fan wasn't working properly for it.

Any idea where to get a basic video card from? Don't use the comp for games etc so just need a basic one.

Cheers.

ur diagnostic skills are fail... =P

if i was a betting, wow, i'd probably put my car up on it not being the video card =D

could be soo many other things making it do that... number 1 is the power supply! i'll also throw my hat in the ring and offer u some free help, just lmk

ps. hoodie thread up soonish

Luke, i just worked out what it is... =D

but i'm not going to tell you what it is because if you try to fix it and mess up you could end up killing stuff!

however i will say this, whoever you take it to will set it up and it'll probably turn on first time, straight away and u'll both be like "hu?" =P

^ what a graph card that's not seated correctly in it's slot?

wow, i should actually start taking bets with people on this! =P

no, as i said before, nothing to do with vidoe card... unlikley that one would just randomly pop out!! =\

Tell tell..... I'll give good prices on jap stuff lol

just drop round and i'll fix, fix!

edit: and coz u get me good prices i wont slug you the $40 i would to a customer for fixing it =P

With big turbos cams can make you up to 50kw depending on the size of the turbo and the amount of head work done as they allow you to move the turbos into their efficiency range, but like chad said with small turbos they won't affect peak power much but will allow you to move the power around the rev range and can get you some nice gains on torque.

Here's some graphs from when we were playing with the cam gears on my car.

Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you have heard of GT Autosound in Glynde, and if they are a reputable workshop. Thanks in advance.

yeah their pretty good their man and reasonble prices with what you get out of it

Sweet. How long u reckon it would take? Have to head down to Marino around 9am so could pop by after that?

Cheers.

George and Theo are excellent guys. Havn't had any work done by them, but never heard a bad word about their work :ph34r:

    • 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.
