Yesterday we were headed to the farmers market at the Bundal races to stock up on fresh fruit and veg ect.

Tried to get into the first drive way and went in really slowly because of the shape of the driveway. Half way in one of my back wheels came off the ground and I lost all traction. dam coilovers! I then had to get in and push the car back off the driveway and find somewhere else to park. I had to convince my gf to get into the drivers seat of the car i wont let her drive. There was alot of traffic and a good 25-30 cars banked up before I got moving.

I had a good old laugh about it but the bloke in a 4wd behind me was quite pissed off at me.

I dont think my gf will let me live this one down for a while.

o i hate coil overs for that.... i got stuck everywhere i went... as most parts around where i lived had speed bumps and steep driveways.. so i just learnt to adapt and walk longer :)

its fun when a 4wd has to wait though haa... but sucks when the roof line is under the bonnet and they cant see you :S

LOL, thats pretty funny. It's always fun pissin off people in 4WD's as well. They piss me off just being on the road hahaha.

its funny when im in my 4wd n u got a lowered sports in front of me n i got my head lites on at nite it really pisses them off lol :blink:

    • 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?
