got the box in, made up a gearbox crossmember from 150x6mm plate and some 40x8mm plate, its well strong, got a sheet of thick insertion rubber between the box and bracket to add insulation.

also filled it up with oil and ran it through the gears. see video

testing and comp done and dusted, took some getting used to driving with a sequential as when you enter a corner fast and go to downchange to say 2nd the natural reaction is to move the gearstick across and back down,.. well of course this does nothing in a sequential haha. once i overcame that and got my head around it.. was f**king awesome... oh and the sound... sounds like a nest full of angry wasps on crack.

heres some vids for you all.

its actually far from perfect or easy to drive.. the car has so much rear grip that with even shitty china tyres it just wants to grip up all the time.. changing a few things atm along with alignment to help out. Also ditched the BC ER coils for some locally made SHOCKWORKS coilovers to be able to set it up the way i want, then it should be a dream to drive!

Decided I wanted to develop the handling of the car a lot more because I'm planning on doing some grip events also. I wanted coilovers that I could get with local support and built to my specs. Shockworks came to the party and offered everything I was after. I said goodbye to the faithful bc coils and got these today! Can't wait to put them in and see how they go

    • 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?
