Spunkey Munkey had his wing sprayed there. Job looks pretty decent. Shouldn't have any problems with them i reckon.

Their workshop is pretty hard to find. It's at the back of this milk bar place along a main road. You won't see any sign or whatsoever like ' primal garage ' . Best to ring them up to let them guide you there.

Highly doubt it Matt, there's bit's and pieces of it all over Melbourne at the moment :huh:

Gearbox is getting done as we speak, as is the engine bay prep, and the engine is ready to go. It's just getting it all back together now...

I'd love to go to Winton though, if not only to see what you and Ray have going on now! :/

Hehehe. My car is slow. Ray is the one to watch.. have you heard his wastegate? fark i wouldn't be surprise if the guys at eastern creek could hear it :)

Looking forward to seeing you on the track again, I'm hoping to at least improve my times at Winton in Feb!

I don't believe you... :)

I see lots of part selling, which equals lots of new part buying haha I'm hanging to get back out there again, it's been way too long!

Is Ray's car back up and running again? I'll have to pop past and check it out/sabotage it :D

Stolen_S15: Just thought I'd let ya know that Primal did a top job on my car, couldn't be happier.

Two thumbs up from me!

Cheers Dane,

I'm hoping to pick my bar up today or early next week. Was yours the 180 that was in there getting sprayed, widebody? SAU stickers and what not on it?

Yep, that's the one. The 180 that's in a million pieces... :D

SNISMO: They were doing mechanical work while I was there.

Yeah they are happy to do minor mech. work.

I'll be picking up my bar in the next day or so, i'll let you all know what the work is like.

Could someone please post up some contact details for Primal Garage ?

Ask and you will receive...

David and Neil do all the mechanical work, i.e. electrical, suspension, engine work etc.

And they're father, Ray, I call him Uncle Ray - does all the panel and paint work...

They're a nice bunch of people, down-to-earth and very helpful...

Say Kevin with the r33 Skyline and Ray will look after ya as I got there all the time...

    • 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?
