TRIAL have a whole site devoted purely to Hiaces. If you look at the thread above, the promo girl in the pic (the same pic used for my column too) owns the silver demo car...

Kristian,

I must say I do enjoy your column. I get HPI (or is it PI now?) every month and yours is one of the first pieces I read. Well done on the recent position.

I'd love to write for HPI. I envy you. I considered pursuing a career in Journalism, but fell into my current field of work. I'm a Town Planner by profession, but often think of what life would have been like if I had chosen that career. I digress.

Well done again, and keep up the good work mate, I can't wait to get my hot hands on the next edition.

Cheers,

Adam.

Yep "IMPRIMATUR" is a great read.

I loved the reference to Elantra/Accord equation that takes away the crust that keeps the eyes of the KANACs CLOSED!

(btw Linton, I can't seem to find my head anywhere!) lol

haha its there terry.. dont worry.. i forgot to send in my pic of you doing the big foot impersonation.. maybe next issue. :banana:

that kanac article was brilliant... i gave it to my mother in law to read so she will stop hassling me.

its PI now... i dont know why... seems a bit weird to me... HPI or High Performance Imports just rolled off the tongue better.

this is one of the best issues ever.

Hakosuka is best old school hero

Nigel Petrie's S13 is best silvia... it gets my vote, that thing is a work of art.

and there is a really good article about the 3x initial drift silvias.. which has a great line in one article that says something about "having 300kw and realising it was just too much, and rebuilt it to have 266kw which was much more controllable.." thats proper speak right therr...

That's why you keep copies of what you write.

That works unless you're writing for them every month, and don't know what order they're gonna print your articles in :( I've done through to issue 117 currently.

I was curious to know if any readers knew what Imprimatur meant...

    • 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?
