some guy wants to swap me for this plus cash my way

it now rolls on work vxmx mmmmmmmmmmm

http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...p;#entry5824703

opinions?

also a 180 that i dont have any detaila on yet

That S13 is good man,

You will have to spend a fair bit of coin on getting it to slide really well however given its a straight swap for the R31 I'd say thats pretty decent deal for yourself man.

i feel like im ripping myself off... i dunno

you are, I'd stick with the 31. You've come this far with it why not stick with it. It's enough to learn in, get as good as you can in the car then maybe look at upgrading

found out a cpl days ago my rear turbo was wak.

spittin oil into the pressured intake side

that explains the detonation

praise yoda that i have replacement turbos to go

the horse will be with u

-D

Isn't that normal because the oil breather plumbs into the intake pipe before the rear turbo? I may be wrong.

cost and worth are 2 different things

i wont tell you what the R33 has cost me and what im told it's worth but its sad panda indeed

what ever its cost you then times that by 2 or 3 and thats how much i have prob spent

im too scared to add up all my receipts

im over it!

random question

Does anyone work at a place, or know where I could get a 6 way TV splitter tomorrow? like a Hills, or a Clipsal one?

Just spent $73 on a HD set top box to find out my TV in my gaming room isn't connected to the 4 way splitter in the roof... grrrr

/rant.

Guys, I see in some signatures a Dyno Day coming up for SAU - can non members get any more details?

AWD dyno?

Location?

Non-members welcome?

Cheers

Lee

Hey Lee, at this stage it is open to members only, but if there are some spots left in just over a week or so time, then it will open up to non members. Ill just say that its AWD and non members will have to pay $45

    • 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?
