The only line i spotted at summernats was that gunmetal grey r32 gtr with white p1's and it was just parked off to the side eg not competing.

also saw nik today, but today at nats sucked, shit weather, not as many cars etc... burnouts were ok

Late Spots.

Spotted TeeJay1600 on thursday night at braddon servo. great combo, black car with black rims. that's my next favourite after white car with white rims.

also spotted XAA-108 on northbourne on thursday night aswell. got a wave. damn those rims have huge dish. what rims are they?

also got defected while leaving canberra on friday. heaps of police on the road facing traffic towards canberra for summernats. But one of the Golbourn police decided to be pick on me. Pasted him doing 110, he was facing the other way in an unmarked xr8. he did a u-turn, went after me and pulled me over and said it was a random car inspection.

anyway, need some parts now. I'll post in the parts needed section. Hope no one else got defeted over the weekend.

Your kidding...? I wondered why we only beat it by a little amount... went very well though! Cant wait to see how well it will go with more boost. Your cars all looked great together! Was good to see SAU out there representing!

    • 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?
