simon actually posted that so cheers to him aye.

But the rb30 doesn't work on a s1 one of the holes doesn't line up I tried it on mine, ended up just putting a second hand one on, the only prob you'll have with the 2nd hand one is replacing the gasket but i'd say any mech would be able to make one up like they did on mine.

haha just spoke to simon before.. sneaky boy :blush:

well I will wait to hear from titan..... the mechanic was trying Trojan as well but I'll forget about that if I can get Titans.

The radiator is fixed but it needs the WP before putting it all back together, doesnt look like there'll be enough time to fix it today now anyway :D

thanks for the offer sfrizza :)

rossco the RB30 one has an extra fin that you can't do the bolt up on but the rest supposedly fits... well obviously did for you...

I've decided to get a genuine one from Nissan, can get it cheaper than the price Trojan gave, and i don't have to worry that it's not going to fit/work/break.

Good idea Shell, I did the same, I didn't like the idea of a bolt missing on my water pump and considering it's not a 1 hour job glad I did it with the right part. I did pay $199 from Nissan but that's not too bad for piece of mind.

Nissan Part No. is 21010-21U26 - for '93 R33 GTS25t

I have a pair of genuine cam shaft seals if any wants them, mine didn't need replacing.

Cheers

yeah a bit late Steveo :( haha it's ok, i kinda needed something local anyway..

Marty, yep I'm glad I got a new one in the end too, especially as it didnt cost too much (like you said $200 was the normal price, but I got it quite a bit cheaper). I also got a brand spanking new Gates timing belt put on too... while they were down there haha

    • 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?
