I was just talking to Nick recently after seeing a topic post about a melbourne get together.

Anyway, someone has already beat me to it and it sounds like they are expecting a pretty big turnout of vehicles of all types.

Check the link, let's get some stag's together and represent!

Advantage of a Wagon reverse it to the screen, open hatch layback and enjoy the movie. . in comfort. . . like the old days with Mum & Dad....

Come on people!

I was thinking along Paramour's line of thought, open the hatch put the back seats down, pump up the sound system and get comfy!

Nick - hope you can make it man, I'm sick of going to things and being the only Stagea :D

zei20l - is that a yes I'm coming or no I don't associate with NS :(

As for the rest of you, get your ass into top gear and come see the movie!

... or both :P

Plus there is a bevy of beauties in swimsuits and the likes.

We would be good if we could get a few stag's there, but if anyone doesn't like hanging with the crowd (i.e. Hard Tuned, Nissan Sylvia) etc. maybe we can arrange another occasion just for Skylines Australia?!

See what happens.

What happened?

Shed impellors?

What internals are you using or is it GCG?

Exhaust impeller fell off on the trip down to Phillip Island. Whats GCG? Was still drivable but 2T of cars with about 80HP is'nt fun.....was getting outdragged by fully laden B-Doubles

P.S. If this ever happens to you and you have a distance to travel make sure you drive through the gears using the Tiptronic. I found that my gearbox would start overheating(and I don't know why) if I left it in Drive.

GCG do bb HiFlows. They are near Sydney I believe.

This DID happen to me last year (around May I believe), I didn't use tiptronic and it didn't get hot although I had to drive for over an hour (lots of red lights and hills on the way). Turbo-less VQ25 should still be good for ~140kw.

Got some interesting looks due to the sound the turbo was making. Did sound quite amusing, though not funny at the time.

Any details on what the internals will be used for the rebuild?

I cannot get any details on mine. :down:

I'm using Precision Turbo's in Wetherill Park.

I had to drive back from Phillip Island to Sydney....the gearbox spitting fluid happened at about hour 4. No noise from my turbo.....but the front end didn't spin that well either.

I will ask about the internals when I pick it up.....at this stage all I know is steel and Garrett BB's + housing.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      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.

      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.
