Have seen the blue chaser around civic though, big gold mags, and black carbon fibre bonnet? not too bad at all

yea i know the guy, that car is going to be at autosalon.. its a very nice looking car, i would be jelous but its auto :P

Spotted Ex!$t3nZ's (sorry mate, don't actually know your name) Toyota sitting peacefully at Trojan this arvo. Still looking sweet as!

i know :'( been there for 3.5 weeks now. well if its at trojan hopefully that means that the auto electrician has finished his job..

Anywho, spotted a silver r34 gtt behind me turning down lathlain street then into the bunnings carpark around 9am this morning. i gave a thumbs up through the rear window but i dont know if you saw. i was in the green camry (not chaser ;)) infront of you..

I spose I should add in here that I spotted one of the sexiest R34 GTRs that I have ever seen in Civic bout 7ish last night. Until now I'd only seen photos and WOW!!!

I don't even know what colour to say it was, sorta purple, sorta green... Lotsa layers in there!!

I didn't talk to John for long but he mentioned that the auto elec'y ran out of space for the day or something so it was moved back temporarily, so i don't think it would be completely finished..

I'll hopefully be back this arvo to grab the car after what should be its last and final tune since losing my middle muffler to rust and re-installin my airbox.

Hey Guys. Saw a Maroon R32 behind me most of the way through nicholls about 5:30pm today. Just for those of you who dont know, while my skyline is off the road am getting around in an dark blue 1989 Mazda MX6 Turbo with a ridiculous wing and a set of shitty vault wheels and a massive intercooler out the front. Hope to be back in the 33 by march. Until then if you see me getting around wave to me, dont show me up like most skylines have been trying to do :spank: not members of course.

Interested to know what figure you end up at Sam, will be more or less the same setup as me.

Ben, mate, not sure what has happened and its got John baffled... My car lost 40kw's which was due to the collapsed exhaust, replaced the cat back section and also installed a JJR return flow cooler and the std air box. Since, John retuned it with an extra 3 degrees (had to remove 3 degrees to stop detonation due to the collapsed middle muffler), which meant it should have been back up to 260kw.... Unfortunately, it is still 227kw at 1.3bar...

John did a compression test and all came back fine, all averaging about 155-160. He has a theory since everything else has pretty much been explored and that is possibly my valve springs have become weak and now the valves are floating a bit. He said that the best way to find out if its still on power is to line up against you.

Sam - he's talking 230ish then I doubt it's still 'on power' :whoops: Sounds expensive.

Spotted John (a20089) yesterday. Gave/got. You were finally spotted mate! :) Flukey timing, I was messing around with my stereo out where it wouldn't bother anyone and saw you pulling out of the golf course (I think)

    • 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?
