That SOUNDS pretty good, but still get it all looked at and make sure there is nothing wrong with it.

Surely you are getting Splitfires, right?

Surely! Haha yes I am :kiss:

I heard that pretty much all of the radiators are pretty damn manky when you get them out?? I hate to think what mine is going to look like but hope it's not too bad cause I want that and the intercooler to last until next year.

And looks like need a new roof after the bonnet incident. Stretched the metal beyond beating. Loving the new bonnet thoug. Tell me what you think. Just got it last night

The bonnet looks awesome!

I dont know about the roof though, replacing your roof is a huge job... I would get a few more opinions before going down that path.

Theres a mob in sydney that do mobile inspections on used cars. They can usually do them the day after you call up.

I have had them look at a few rotors etc for me that i have been interested in and it is well worth the money.

They do a 5 page report covering everything on the car including compression test etc and fax you the report when it is completed.

Costs around $200 depending on the car. Well worth losing 200 now and get told its crap rather than losing thousands down the track.

They are called stateroads.

Don't try too look at and purchase a car all in the one day. Be prepared to make a few trips interstate to find the right car.

yeh no doubt - ive found a couple im interested in so ive booked an inspection tomorrow afternoon....so which ever i like most i will get looked at if its what im looking for..... otherwise theres always next time....

was looking at a GTR as the price was right and he seems desperate but wasnt willing to drive 30mins to get the car inspected....... i hate sellers like that.....

He's not desperate then. BTW, I'd be wary of a 'desperate' seller.... desperate quite possibly means he's trying to offload a POS!

um yeah, I guess it depends on the model, but my roof also = rear quarters = big/cbf job

Actually, the group buy for coil covers was pretty good. You got a coil cover with your choice of logo cut out of it with extra flutes and holes. So you got the coil cover, but no heat build up.

    • 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?
