Guys, (in paticular the TAS '04 crew)

I just came back from the famed Nishinomiya tuning shop "C-West". I hooked up with my mate Takuya, and I made arrangements for the SAU crew to be the honourary Australian guests of C-West at the 2004 Tokyo Auto Salon!!!

I'm still in the process of sorting out photo oportunities with Race Queens, cars and staff, and maybe... juuuuust maybe, we might get a group discount on any parts or goods purchased at the show!

**Check out my trip to C-West in the Japan forum - Rezz's Photo Diary section later tonight for all the pics!

How am I doing???:cheers:

Heres an update on the C-West arrangement:

The Race Queens have their own schedule, and aren't neccessarily controlled by the C-West staff! Meaning: every man for himself!

Yes, as far as the Race Queens are concerned, they have to do promotion work, some kind of stupid dance routine, and alot of posing at certain times throughout the day, so the SAU crew are going to have to fight the "echi-kameraman" to get shots with them!!! Don't worry guys, with 20+ Aussies and Poms there in our group, I'm sure it won't be a problem!

This is out of Takuyas control... sorry!

    • 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?
