///// POST CLOSED!!! I HAVE THE ANSWERS I NEED THANK YOU

NO NEED TO REPLY

NO NEED TO REPLY

<<<>>> THANKS I HAVE THE ANSWERS WILL NOT BE RECHECKING THIS <<<<>>>

Ok well with reference to my other post I have been on the phone to the RTA and my suspension starts 4th March and goes till 5th September (2004).

That means for the next month I will be allowed to drive and will need some sort of transport.

Do you think it will be wise to purchase my silvia now.. and have it for a month, and then have it parked away for 6 months ?

OR

I could get a motorcycle license ASAP, and buy a bike and sell it after a month?

I need help on this as I then have to nag my parents for lifts which is a major hassle that ill be needing during the 6 months.

NO TALK ABOUT YOU LEARNT YOUR LESSON, ABOUT WHY OR WHAT HAPPENED JUST ONLY HELPING ME WAT TO DO FOR THE NEXT MONTH

Thanks

-Dale

Yep id go for option 3 as red900ss has chosen.... public transport or keep begging your parents for lifts for another month

DO NOT BUY A VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. Honestly man, such a hassle isnt your parents driving you places but buying a vehicle for one month.

If there's a car at home you'll be tempted to drive it so dont bother.

yeah I would taxi it around. By the time you get your shit together and find a bike, get your license you will have a few days until your off the road.

Hold off buying a nissan until your off your suspension and have a little more driving under your belt.

(I just dont want to see another dead nissan!)

how frequently will you be travelling (needing transport)? everyday or just on the weekend?

if your not working every day then id say dont bother with the silvia. 6-$8000 is still alot of money for only 1 months use. i agree with red900ss with the taxis or use public transport and save for the 6 months

Ok thanks all I get the message. Guess pub transport for me :(

After my suspension which is near wen im 18 ill be nearly finished my HSC. Then I will have money for a mad car, and be able to afford insurance, and be a rehabilitated safe driver :(

The only thing i look forward too is that and what motivates me to study is that if i do well i get a good job and get a better car :(

Thanks for the help all no need to post anymore.

    • 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?
