Mines been off the road for 2 years and 6 days... and counting :rofl:

I took up heavy binge drinking, dropped the GF and started clubbing again to pass the time... lol.

Should actually be back in the road in *coughs* a month or two... serious... :/

Mate of mine picked up a scratch in the the rear quarter of his R33 GTR when he parked it at work. Decided to get both rear guards resprayed and the bonnet, front bar and front guards to get rid of the scratch and various stone chips.

Quoted $2,500 by the recommended repairer of his insurer.

Paint run in the left rear quarter, lower front bar not sprayed ("it's not the front bar"), front guards not sprayed at all, poor paintwork on the bonnet (because they DIDNT F**KING PREP IT PROPERLY), overspray around the fuel filler, inner trim panels cracked and put back in with double sided tape, excessive mastic sealant around the quarter windows causing poor fit, charged for new side moulding clips and the side mouldings now fit poorly.

FIIIINALLY! Booked into Trojan for Monday... John & Ang already work crazy hours, and all you buggers are taking up his time :) haha so I'm being squeezed in, and not sure how long it'll be (guessing ~10 days give or take). Still waiting on an oil cooler from Slide, should be here in 3-4 days. Everything else is here: GTRS, PFC & EBC, Nismo 740cc's & pump, Blitz FMIC.

Given the recent number of posts about the GTRS turbo and how well suited it is to RB25, I'm very excited :) There's some really nice curved dyno graphs on here... mmm curves...

Plus if it's ready by the 11th, I can go to Wakefield the very next day :D:)

Back on the road! Grinning from ear to ear. Got 256rwkw on a very nice and safe tune, only 16.5 PSI. Using stock airbox too (don't want the extra noise/intake heat of a pod). The power comes on pretty darn smoothly, and the response is very similar to stock, just a 5h1tload more power! Thanks to John and Angelo :D

My car @ Turbo Upgrade thread

Might be going to Wakey on Tuesday and see how it fares, compared to last time where it overheated after two sessions :)

I've got some spare parts for sale too, will list them up shortly, cbf just now.

Man... I forgot what i's like driving a Skyline around here hahahah. Commodores n a few others feeling they have to make their presence known to me. The stovetop lights must attract them like gnats to a light :) FUN TIMES :D

haha I think it's too late to get the license on time isnt it! It sounds interesting though! I'll look into it next time :O I posted in the events section about going to Wakefield this Tuesday but no comments :) I loved it the first time and wanna see what I can do in more than 2 sessions haha

BTW, went for a ride tonight in my car and then in with a mate in his new SS commodore. Both agreed mine would fairly kicks his ass... not from a dead halt, but would be far ahead not long after :)

Check with DIF, but I'm pretty sure you can get your licence on the day.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?

      thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
