yep hes right. what do you think gtr2 ? she will be fixed or what ?

Don't try to fix the body, it will cost too much, better to get another body and rebirth it legaly. I think justjap have a dressed R32 GTR body for 12k but I don't know if you could register it though, depends on how they imported it, and compliance might be fun. So maybe a drag car?

MEGA

Damn.. Having alot of Km's under their belt --> experienced? Taxi drivers are one of the worst drivers out there! ?
I knew someone would take that the wrong way... I don't mean taxi drivers are good drivers. I was trying to get across that someone would need to spend all day every day driving to become "experienced" in two or three years.

I have been driving for longer than our GTR killing mate has been alive and I don't consider myself a good driver. A little above average and with some advanced driver training could probably get "up there" but as Clint says "A man's got to know his limitations." I don't have the car control skills of a Brock, McRae or Schumacher. I drive within my skills and the conditions.

26 years behind the wheel and still learning.

The first thing i looked for after opening this thread was the age of the driver.

Its just disgusting that you think that at 20yrs of age your experienced enough to drive cars a class lower than GTR's (of any era). Are you an only child? I bet you are.

As an aftermath a big THANKYOU for killing another GTR. THANKYOU for pushing up insurance premiums for those of us who currently own or are planning/thinking of owning a GTR (again, of any era). THANKYOU for giving the boys in blue another reason to keep an eye on japanese imports. And just THANKYOU in general for being a 20yr old male who thinks they are indestructible and never learns from their mistakes, regardless of the incident.

I really feel sorry for that car and any car you've previously owned and plan on owning

Why are you seriously thinking of getting another high performance car?

It is clear that you cannot drive a powerful car.

Work for your money, then buy a car for yourself, then see if you crash it.

Or, catch the train.

I'd like to know where people get off having a go at him for his age? i mean come on if you had enough money to buy a gtr and maintain it im sure as hell you would buy one. I dont see the point in makin a useless post if your just gonna flame him for it. Yes he may have been stupid for doing what he did but it doesnt take 8 ****ing pages of people to tell him that. Its pretty stupid to post what other people have already said i mean wheres the point? ITs likes when someone starts a thread about something they wish to know and its answered in the first few posts but of course there are people who just have to reapeat what is said. god its a forum its not like the reply is gonna run away or something. Cars get written off all the time may it be something shitty or something like a GTR or ferrai or what ever.

    • 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  
    • 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.
