wank factor IMO

Yep!

Yeah if you got something special about your car you can show it off through the number plate and it's your car and you can do whatever you want.

But I would not do it.

just think how easy it is to remember a custom plate? now, add to that $500 to the risk of possible complaints to police. overtake someone on boost, some random thinks you're a hoon and calls you in. reading a bunch of random numbers and letters is A LOT harder to remember then custom plates.

plus, what does it achieve? the look of the car? yeh, OMG so cool with plates. at least stuff like tint/paint or rims can actually improve the look of the car.

leave the custom plates for wankers in excels/lancers with huge chromies, 5" exhausts and shocking paint jobs.

Not trying to defend it because i have custom plates. Any of those things you just said can attract the same amount of attention as custom plates. I dont like people who put body kits on cars or stupid vinyls are retarded but i dont specifically say to them they are.

It does add to the look of the car... it would be stupid to say it doesn't. Infact the plates can add more to the car than mods can =S

Look at the RX7 in my garage, stock body, but with VIC plates it looks like absolute rubbish. Owning a import or sports car in general gets us targeted so if your going to own one... you might aswell get custom plates =S. As most people don't have engineers for their mods and are illegal. Custom plates are a small addition to being "suspected" of hooning rather than getting pulled over for power you shouldn't have and lawfully cant use on the road.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      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

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
