its ok its for my mate... i used my head and did a search and found some previous threads in regards to them... he wants a 180sx and they have a nice lookin 97 model but hes rushing him for a sale, even saying tomorrow morning he will take him to CBA and get his mate to give him the loan for it and im telling him to wait til i can come down with him and look at the car and check to see if its been in an accident and get RACV to do a check on it as well.

Tell your mate not to rush.   I pass there every day and see the SAME cars there for months.  So take your time, do the checks and hammer them down on the price, as they can be a little too pricey.

like when they were in preston, that orange 33 was always there haha and in the ads

oh them guys, sorry I know em as MSA, they're like 2 blocks down from my place.

I dunno bout them hey, they never seem to move their stock, same cars day in day out, and they always seem to show my car to their customers when I drive by (must be the exhaust).

I remember I did a lil dori while turning the corner into Bell St from the side street (god bless empty 3 lane roads) and one of their customers got very excited and started whistling...

I visited MSA when I was looking into buying a car, and I must say if you can establish to em that you know your shit about cars they won't f**k you around (took me a about 10 mins to point out some things about the cars they had that they din know like different specs and also explaining to the salesman that K's Q's n J's stood for King Queen and Jack in S13's)

I still say you should import one from japan, but if you NEED to go to a dealer they're one of the ones I'd say were OK.

went to have a look at it with him yesterday...

i think its too late now :P hes in a rush and against my judgement because the bonnet is repaired poorly from hail damage.... there are a few runs on the bodykit... the left guard isnt painted properly on the inside... if i were him i would have only offered him 21 at the most.

    • 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?
