Wow! R34 V-Spec!!!! Did it have Canberra plates???

mickGTR, saw you filling up at Phillip servo about a week ago before New Years. What kind of Octane booster were you running in? It didn't look like the Wynn's stuff. Man your car is sooo sweet! Also spotted, a nice Burgundy R33 GTST going along Sulwood yesterday, got my first thumbs up!

Saw a nice silver GTSt down at Tuggers McDonalds tonight.

Spotted this again down at the Hyperdome carpark at about 8:50 this morning. Its silver, looks lowered on stock wheels with a GTR wing I think (didnt have a close look, but its either GTR wing or series 2 wing).

yeah i was down the south coast in Tathra on new years, a fair few people from Canberra there. only saw 2 other skylines, and only for a second. a black 32 and a gun-grey 33 like mine. i was a bit trashed and yelled out to the guy "hey i got one too!" the locals loved the car though, i met a heap of good blokes because i was just sitting around my car with my mates hitting the piss. they parked me in though, which was good.

Besides spotting a white ?GTR near Glenloch yesterday afternoon -

Does anybody know what was happening on Parkes Way near Anzac Parade roundabout about 5pm yesterday?

About four cop cars plus the pursuit car - stopped -

one lane closed down and cops EVERYWHERE -

MickGTR, hows it goin mate - Yeah i was not in my Skyline at the time I saw you @ BP Phillip, was with my gf as we were pulling away - So i would have felt like a nugget just coming up and saying hello. But yeah the octane booster sounds very interesting. Hahaha, i've just tried Wynn's actually and it runs pretty well but i am keen to try other boosters. Will definately come up if i c you out and about. There needs to be a cruise soon!!!! On the spotted note: Was on my way to fyshwick this morning and pulled in behind a nice sounding Grey R33 who turned onto the Monaro HWY and turned off on the Queanbeyan exit.

Nulon Pro Strength Octane Booster (do NOT use the octane boost and clean... it stuffs the spark plugs damn quickly) is the only stuff I use, and the only stuff my car will run on at the moment (it refuses to drive decently on anything besides optimax/ultimate and nulon boost). Its about $18 a bottle from Supercheap and Autobarn (some Mobil's have it as well), and it works wonders :(

The one I was thinking of (a silver series 2 like mine) is actaully owned by the guy who works there (Chris?), so it would not have been taken for any test drives.

    • 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?
