So i was wondering, how am i supposed to bleed my coolant system with the greddy IM installed?

In none of the isntallation guides was there any mention of how to hook up the bleeder valve

also, what kind of brackets has everyone used to be able to use the stock r33 throttle cable?

mine has the stock bracket for the throttle cable that came off the stock plenum. Just have to bend it and play around with the throttle cable to get it to work. It sits at a bit of a funny angle but it still works.

As for bleeding, the highest point of your cooling system should be your top tank of your radiator. I just bled mine by running it till the thermostat opened and topped up till full. It takes a while

Yeah it seems like some cables are a little longer... mine was about 15-20mm to short... i could get it to reach but it was really tight... i followed the instructions on the greddy instruction manual but to no luck...

i just like to put mine o an incline to be sure..

Head down to your local autobarn. Say that you want a ''GReddy throttle body adapter for rb25det''.

The kit comes with an adapter to fit your stock t/b, but most importantly, it comes with a pre-fabbed bracket for your throttle cable.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      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

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.
