Just finished washing the mini and the skyline just so I could spend most of the time standing under the hose. Was good while it lasted, might be a bit of a storm coming though, that might cool it down a bit. Time for another cold shower I think.

Was just at Dicky Beach, Lifeguards came over the loud speaker "theres a severe storm warning" everybody leaves likes a cyclones about to hit!

10 mins later, the same warning but with "hail warning", oh shit me grabs the missus and runs to the line and an awaitng vacant garage.

90 minutes later, not a drop... Ahhhh!

Will look nice, look for the pictures in a few weeks time

Great talking to you Lauren :)

I gotta get up at 8 so im off ta bed.

Have a great nite!

Cya! :headspin:

Yep computers don't like heat.

The large amount of suposedly faulty computers I have seen in the last few days, have been from people trying to use them in an un-airconditioned offices or at home in temperatures close to fifty degrees (90 degrees inside the tower) and then wondering why their computer was shutting down by itself.

Heat is the mortal enemy of all electrical equipment.

My computer ran all weekend constantly ..... What a machine :D

My car on the other hand did 800k's so we could sit in the airconditioned comfort :D

*phew* lost this thread for a moment.. thought it might have been deleted :D

yeah, my computer is holding up.. my car too :D even better. Computers are cheap these days fortunately, and power supplies, etc can be replaced for a few bucks. Saturday i did 200km in 41 degree or so heat.. giving it quite a bit of stick with darrin and strutto on the highways. Still holds a bit of power. Go the intercooler!

    • 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?
