all great ideas! how would we go getting my space saver on the plane.... had a dream lastnight that we got 2 flats :) lol nerest bauerepairs is a long long longggg drive!

jerry cans is a must! and i think the best thing is to top up when we hit like half to a 1/4 of a tank... the dude rekns the carf will get 450ks on the highway who can back this up? obviously its all how you drive but need somthing to gauge!

cheers for the route ill program it in my gps and see what it says.

got a lot of boot space who wants to save on shipping? :P

did you dream your flats were front or rear? cos your standard space saver won't clear the brembos up front :D

OH shit thats handy...

My Autech and the RS4 had diffrent space savers, and the trim piece that goes over the top is different, if you try to put the RS4 over the Autech space saver it sits up to high, where as the autech trim is recessed to suit?

Mine gets about 450km's a tank. So sounds about right.

Carry a few cans of Tyre Weld, hopefully you won't get anything that this won't fix - saves you worrying about carrying a spare which might not fit your new car.

Where abouts in Sydney are you picking up this car, Adam?

First of February? Sounds good, we should try and sort something out.

its a sunday but we need to get driving shortly after getting it... maybe meet up with a few of the nsw stags... how far from main syd is lane cove?

Lane Cove is well within the Sydney metro area, and about 15-20mins from Sydney city itself, on the North side of the harbour.

how far is the cab ride guna be?? fair bit im guessing ;)

take a train from airport into Central ($12 from memory) and change there to catch another train to North Sydney. Then catch a cab from Nth Syd station. You might even be able to get off somewhere closer to Lane Cove, just ask when you buy your train ticket. I lived in Syd for 5yrs.

5 yrs hey :( feel free to come along! :( fairly excited!

it will probably cost $40 or so for a cab from the airport/lanecove if there is traffic about.

for the money and time i would jump straight in a cab (unless someone can pick you up).

It cost me over $50 just to get from the domestic airport to the city (Wynyard) but that was during peak hour. It'll be another $20 from City to Lane Cove. But if it's the weekend that you're going, it'll be much quicker and cheaper. Don't forget if you catch a taxi you're slugged the bridge toll too. Catch a train will be about $15 each (Chris is going too yeah?) But a cab would be about I'm guessing $50 to LAne Cove. In saying that, whereis.com staes it's only a 19min drive from Syd Domestic Airport to Lane Cove. Seems a bit quick.

Yeah, wish I could go too!

    • 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?
