Simple answer don't speed...

Second response, "I was not speeding"

Hand held laser guns are the most unreliable speed detection device ever invented.  If you take it to court and you have admitted to speeding then the judge has no choice but to confirm the fine, if you have denied the probability is that, based on recent cases you would have the fine squashed...

All true, but I was speeding, didn't intend on speeding, was is no hurry, but the windows were up, climate on, nice tunes and no other cars around me to gauge my speed. It just crept up on me not hard in the line, especially after driving a mini around most of the day. I was happy to wear the fine (well happy as you can be), I was doing the wrong thing, so be it. I would have been my first speeeding ticket for four years, must be getting responsible or something. That is what made it weird for me, youngish male driving import skyline which doesn't look or sound standard, caught doing speed limit +17km/h, admitted that he thought he was doing +15km/h, well lets give him a warning?? Not that I am complaining, I just really wasn't expecting it.

Besides I can't be bothered arguing most of the time.

last time i got done for speeding a had just passed a truck and went round a corner then a cop was comming the other way and got me.

cop....why were you speeding?

me....i wasn't speeding!

cop...you were doing 126 in a 100

me...i was slowing down

cop..GET OUT OF THE CAR

me....lerned lesson fast....

    • 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?
