By smooth i mean it doesnt look like it will take a finger off if you touched an edge...but you did just say you have been playing with it for a while....im just wonding the best way to cut and bend it to shape.

i do alot of work with 2mm and 3mm aluminium... i use a bandsaw to cut out most shapes, a die grinder to smooth the edges... than a deburring tool to take the corners off... they are the best things ever!!!

bout $20 and they'll last for ever.

there are double edged ones that do both sides in one go... but they are double the price.

give me 30k and ill have one built in under 6 months.

you realy want the series 2 because thats when you learn from mistakes and have already fixed all the dud ideas.

But bens is a series 2 for me as a lot of RnD of ideas has been done to my car.

funnily enough the targa car i looked after 2 years ago is for sale and its 15K and about half way developed. Bilstines haltech seats cage big brakes light wheels. just needs some of the finer things done.

Are you not better off putting the ECU on the transmission tunnel so it isnt getting kicked?

Any info on the one for sale for 15k?

At 30k i think they still represent decent value, provided its registered. I have alwasy joked with mates that if i had a clue how to i would make a one make R32 GTSt series...It would be a blast! :cool: But half the fun with this sort of car is really the build, doing things, everything just how you like it.

By the time the Nav foot rest is made it shouldn't be an issue, also with the sea so far back it's less likely to be kicked.

I've made sure i've kept paying the rego on mine, cbf putting it over the pits.

The 15k gtst is black, std body kit but with gtr alloy bonnet+grill. R32 GTR rims+brakes. Cage, extingisher, isolation switch..ect. Pretty sure it's got 2 sparco seats and harnesses. 3" exhaust and dump, Haltech E11v2

after having worked on plenty of race cars with electrical dramas you get over trying to bend around roll cages so im putting it all in the one spot.

this was all designed with a specially built foot rest in mind.

    • 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?
