Hello every one.

It was damn cold in Ipswich at 6:50am, I had Jeans, long sleeve shirt, jumper, jacket and benie and was still freezing.

Hey Gordo, that was quick.  Gives me hope for mine when I put it up for sale in a couple months.  Now the search for a replacement begins!

try being in yatala at 5:30 thats cold

jl i beat your quater time too :cheers:

too bad ur car has much more potential than mine

Don't worry James, I have a full exhaust in the mail at the moment. That, a new clutch and removing the boost restrictors should give me a 12 without too much drama :wassup:

Hey, I lived in Ormeau for 3 years. I had to leave at 4:50am to go to work when I lived out there. Luckily I had two big reverse cycle air-con units when I was out there. Ipswich is still colder though.

I have been hearing alot about these guys lately, seems to be very reasonably priced and appears to be doing a very good job from the 4 cars I have seen from his shop.

He's my repairer, we were just trying to get different quotes to compare pricings. But yeah, no one would give me prices :cheers:

I've seen a few cars come out of there and all VERY well done. I had a choice of him or Cameron from Camerons Body Works and I chose Shawn because he seems a lot more interested in helping you and giving you different ideas, not just for the money, but for what outcome you want. He can give you different options with paint and prices as well.

I was recommened to go there by Ben and Moi (owns the little purple ET, used to have the plates FUL11).

Plus Neil and Ross have been there and yeah, the results speak for themselves. Top bloke as well.

    • 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?
