sorry about prev post ... posted reply before i could edit it.

Hi Mark , did you consider the OMP WRC carbon - $2889.

I am thinking of going toward that style seat or racetech equivalent. The higher head restraint maybe a hinderance on the road. Since the defender already has lateral head support i dont think the head blinkers adding anything to the safety, just the price?

Have you got any current info regarding the airbag sensor plug in 2.2ohm resistor.?

As the Nagtroc link has its detailed info deleted. I asked the guys at Nissan can I buy the yellow plug and they said can only buy the whole wiring harness for the seat.

OMP HTE Carbon went in today. trial fit in the car tonight.

the centre tunnel of the car is asymmetric ( I assume to accommodate the front drive shaft), sticks out more on the driver side on for Aus cars which is a pain in the arse.

all airbags are stripped out so not worried about the sensor light!

probably will paint it but have other things happening over the next few months that will require the bumper to be removed, as well as having other carbon pieces to fit that will all need painting so makes sense to do them all at one time.

Dear Person,

STFU

Kind Regards

lol internet is serious business

Makes sense to me. I was really just wondering if that was the plan. Keep up the good work. Car is coming together nicely.

    • 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?
