Here a tip. My Fiance says if you buy a $100 coles gift card it is all profit as they don't have to pay for product to sell, so Fire appeal gets $100 you get $100 gift card you can use to pay for your shopping instead of cash, then fire appeal gets another hit up of profit cash from your shopping!

Makes sense but not sure if gift cards are classed in this thing or not.

We hit the local Coles, queues were big but am sure it was worth it. Will be great to get a final figure as so many other people were there for the same thing. I also set a deductions scheme out of staff pays at work too, either once off or payment reducing over 4 weeks. All for a very worthy cause.

I worked 9 hours at Coles on Friday and it was absolutely hectic. Worse than Christmas or Easter. Basically all the staff were at the service area all day, regardless of what department you were in. People went nuts too, bought like 5 years supply of tooth paste, etc. Saw several ~$1000 orders go through my register alone. I work at one of the bigger Coles stores, with 13 registers, and every single one (excluding the 3 express) had at least 10 trolleys lined up.

I will say this though, despite the monster lines that filled the fresh produce area, blocked the deli off and forced people to wait nearly half an hour to reach the register; no one complained. Everyone was in good spirits, polite, friendly and patient.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      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

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
