Just wondering if anyone here is using/listening to digital radio in DAB+ format.

I got myself a Pure Highway digital receiver for my car - Sounds brilliant - definately better than FM in terms of clarity, but not as good as CD. Some stations unfortunately sound like low quality MP3s - you can notice the compression.

Is anyone else using any other brand of reciever for their cars?

No intsaller required - You mount it like a sat nav - the wires are annoying. The unit will either transmit via the built in FM transmitter or via an 3.5mm AUX/headphone connector.

I did a hidden setup whereby the unit is in my glove box - this prevents "most" of the wires being exposed - but makes it a pain to change stations.

Re-transmitting on FM seems wrong, I thought the main cool thing besides the song titles was the apparently "CD quality" radio, transmitting via FM will lose the quality.

I use USB personally but I would like to try the AUX input and hook up a digital receiver to it....when there are some more mature products for it around that I can get cheaply :down:

Satellite radio costs too much, those models are struggling to survive in the USA.

I think I'll wait a while, the receivers cost way too much $$$ at the moment, I'm hoping the market will get more saturated in the next 6months and therefore price will drop a lot....

      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

      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.
