LOL, you hook up a shift light to the ECU while forgetting to turn the ignition off and forget to unplug the ECU from the harness !!

Not a good thing... You hear crackle crackle pop...... then the smell of smoke.

And like my electronics teacher told me years ago, transistors are made out of smoke, cause once you let the smoke out they don't work anymore :P

The series 2 boot latch doova's are made from a machined alloy of some sort, instead of having the clear plastic epoxy over them.

sweet.. the only thing i'm confused about is when i bought the car the dude gave me the comliance sheet showing everything that was done when it origianlly came and it said that it was built early-mid 1994

i was a bit cranky as the point of sale was that it was a 1995 car but he said its a 95 model just built in 94

didn't the s1 come with an airbag too?

i have one i just didnt think that it was only available in the 1.5 and then the dual in s2

How can anyone forget the sexy sexy series 1 velour interior in the series 1.5? :) I often thought that if I bought a series 2 R33, I would track down a series 1 interior to put in!

Jay, you should have used frying your ECU as an excuse to get a Powerfc :)

I think the later series 1's has the silver badge with the open grille rather than red s with slat grille. Mine has the former, there was a time I thought it was an aftermarket grille but now I think it was just the later series 1's.

Series 2 has the badge on the bonnet instead of grille.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
