Does anyone have details on how I can get my car in this comp if it is ready in time.

Although I'll be cutting it close to have the car ready (Ie. Engine will hopefully be ready Wed and in the car Wed night), if it is ready, I really wanna compete in the HP challenge.

Does anyone know if they'll be using a 2wd or 4wd so that I can either put the front shaft in or leave it out of the car.

Also, how are running times organised? Are you allocated a time on either day or is it along the lines of "Take a number and wait yr turn".

If the car is ready, I'll let someone know ASAP and organise me a little space for my car.

Any help would be appreciated.

James,

Thanks for the info. Please confirm that it is a 4wd dyno coz I don't wanna get there with the front shaft in there to find that it is a rwd dyno and I'll have to get under the car with a trolley jack and put the shaft off.

Also, what's the latest I can let you know whether I'm gonna make it. It's looking pretty good at the mo but we all know that things with cars can turn pear shaped very quickly.

INASNT, Power at this point is undecided. I don't wanna blow my engine again, but I'm willing to say that the figure will be as high as I can get it without blowing shite up.

Rajab unfortunately isn't around anymore and I'm not really gonna be in the dyno challenge to gauge how my car is compared to other GTRs in Vic or AU.

NSW Autosalon's winner had 456rkwk and NZ had 380rwkw.

I'm interested as these were measured in RWKW and not @ all 4 wheels which means that if I compete with VLs and the like, they'll have an advantage due to less drivetrain loss.

Quite true but it ain't a 6 cylinder car and it certainly ain't a GTR which I'm comparing myself to.

Also, my car is still driven on the road and raced. How many other cars do you know with stupid HP do the same?

What I really need to know though is whether anyone can confirm this is gonna be a 4wd or 2wd dyno.

As for being able afford to fixing it all the time, I think not.... :D

    • 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?
