You like your AWDs don't you?

Welcome to SAU.

BTW, does Iceland salt their roads over there during snow storms?

How's the Iceland economy recovering? Or is it not?

I'd love to come to Reikjavik and look at the tectonic rifting!!!

hehe well its good to have a awd car so you can use it all year around. I also had a Subaru wrx STi before i had the Supra. But i gotta say that the Supra was one of the more fun cars i had, that and the Skyline but ofcourse the Supra had 700+ whp

yeah they salt the roads a lot in Reykjavik(capitol)

I think its recovering slowly

you should visit, always nice to check out the nightlife as well

Perhaps we should look each other up, if we criss-cross the waves? GT-R waiting at the other end? hehe

Regards, Tom

PS. Keep your car away from the salt > Go by mountain bike in the salted snow haha

Hey nice machine,Yes i been to your land about 8 years ago....Very nice..very far away.Nightlife was not bad either.When I was there a lot of people were into the 4wd cars with monster wheels and tyres,Sort of like the monster truck look.

hehe yeah that would be great

I use the Audi S4 as a daily and the Skyline is in storage during the winter :)

Thanks, yeah there are also a lot of people here into Formula offroad :D but i think you are talking about the modified 4x4´s that are used in snow, many on 44" tires or bigger

    • 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?
