Short story...

Went up to Mt Baw Baw, car was good and really fast on boost, heaps of grip but still slides nicely. Got to the top and ba bow! Split a heater hose and dumped all the fluid in the car park :P

Spent and hr trying to fix it with the ski teams tools and garage but no deal, so RACV Total Care to the rescue, got home at midnight :down:

Anyone know where I can get a heater hose kit OTHER THAN Nissan? They say only comes from Japan and looking at $200 for 3 hoses!

Thats ma girl!!!

Hahaha fkn thing!

Ask Just Jap to get some in. They do a whole GTR engine set for $300, so surely they must have a contact for an RB20 one?

JK

i mite have some off the r32. bring the broken hoses on sat and u can match em up with wats there

i thought Mt Baw Baw roads are too tight for any slip?

Ah cool...I'll pull it off and see what we can do.

Most of it is tight but there are a lot of good corners for sliding, although with so much lag I could only do a few open ones (and the surface there is mostly crap)

dang... chaser or mark II?

Chaser....hope he got it out ok :S

It was resting up against a tree and looked like roof damage but have to wait and see how it pans out. Made me appreciate my 10k Nissan. If I crash.....RESHELL :)

So it was recommended to me that to rekindle my love for the Cefiro I should give it a wash and polish (for the first time in a year of owning it).

Utilising my day off work for Uni exam study, I went and polished it up...bit of a difference hahaha! You may notice something missing in these pics...A FKN REAR BUMPER :P

Surprise! Swapped the Rega's for a set of Work Kai's (17 x 9 +17 all round) and lowered the car onto them.

Also discovered a lot of oil in the turbo intake coming from the catch can so that will be the next job, re-route that shit!

    • 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?
