i dont have an oil cooler, but i have an oil temp gauge that i always keep an eye on. once oil starts getting up near 110, i start warming down. if it looks to be too hot i wont be driving, but ill come out for a look regardless :glare:

Id come, but im pretty sure my car wouldnt last too long. All things considered, i have no monitoring systems (bar stock items), and i have no doubt id blow my turbo at the very least. But id definately come out for a look.

thought i'd give this thread a bump as i now have my new gearbox and clutch in so i want to head out, really should get brakes and oil cooler first but i figure they can wait til the next one.

I'll be there as long as i can get ahold of my mates car trailer and its not over about 32-33 degrees.

Salad - Will you be heading out? Maybe change the thread title to get a bit more interst, hehe!

I'll be heading out as long as the temp is below 32 that day.

I really should double check my brake pads before the day too LOL. Apart from that, clutch tyres everything ready to go but the brakes. can't wait!!

Nah, I wont be out at this one, so it makes me really not keen to try organise it now. BUT, I will do if there is more interest.

But I can just see this being organised and it turning out to be a really hot day and most people pulling out, which was fine for me before when I was driving, but to head out there to spectate and have about 4 people show up is a bit different...

nooooooooooooooooooooo Jan 12th is Schutzenfest - you should all be coming out to the SAU meet at that!

Much better than sitting out in the sun all day at flyville (there are trillions of them out there!) watching cars blow themselves up in 40 degree heat! :)

I am planning to book my flight back to Adelaide for this event to test out my r32. How hot is it in Adelaide atm guys? Is it really that hot that I should be worried about? When is the next track day after the 12th of Jan?

    • 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?
