Thanks guys, yeah thats correct. HKS25/40 on about 18psi making 262rwkw. Id like another 20 or so to really punish 3rd gear though...

1) obtain 2 x20lt jerry cans

2) drive to hoppers crossing united

3) fill said jerry's with E85

4) continue driving to campbellfield

5) hand car and keys to rob and danny @ creatd

6) watch car on dyno making 300rwkw

7) punish 3rd

just realised it says your first time in the vid description, was it your first time out drifting at winton, or in a legal environment in general?

nice save on that big tank slapper at the end of the first vid too

Well it was my 3rd time on a track in general. Before that i did the drift beginners day at sandown and before that i took my decently setup VN wagon to Calder on one of those Wednesday drift nights...

lol yeah pretty full on toward the end of the straight...

Im bl**** BURNING that my camera died towards the end of the day at Winton. Cos toward the end of the day i built the courage to use 3rd gear through the 'S' bends & down the whole straight and its not on camera! Some serious, scary speed is gained down that straight in 3rd... :P

lol yeah the vn was fun... LOTSA fun!

Had shortened pedders sports rider shocks all round, custom 600 pound springs, white rear sway bar & front strut brace, nolathane bushes, manual 5spd 3.8ltr, mini spool with 4:11s, exhaust, bucket seat, 17inch BBS's and thats about it!

Had no dramas torching 2nd & 3rd gear at calder lol.

sweet, car sound nice too but it sounds like your in the wrong gear, maybe 2nd? bump up to third through the esses and slot into 4th coming onto the straights, it will extend your munji's (short) into oh-munjis (longer).

Yes definately not the right gear... it was my first time on a track with that car (besides the sandown drift training day) so I was a little scared of 3rd to be honest! But that was only for the 1st half of the day untill i built up the courage in the afternoon! Was about 9799800 times longer/better/smoother/faster.

Ive been practising 3rd gear a fair bit so i definately wont be using 2nd again at the next track day... :thumbsup:

    • 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?
