Hey Mario, Great meeting you on Sunday and as i said to you, surely you could have polished it some more :D:blush::D

Looked a treat on the day and made me wish my Prince was this good. Congrats on all of your efforts - a credit to all of your hard work and a delight to see in the flesh.......

I broke my nail too! its great to see so many young people to continue our passion.

Thanks mate, isnt good all of us there in the same place same time and knowing that other places

in the world they do the same we do.

I will never forget my dad, and unfortunatly his words hurt me so much, he never believed my vision

i was only 16 years old!

Keep your true belief in your heart, not in your mind because the mind is changeable.

Mario.

It was good to see you mate, trust your belief in your heart, not in your mind as the mind is changeable,

My dad never saw my vision i was only 16 years old, but i still followed it that was 31 years ago!

Cheers

Mario.

i lost count of the amount of times my dad told me "cars are a money pit!" and "you'll never get that money back when you sell it" and called cars some financial term for modified cars to try and put me off.

no matter what anyone said, my passion still maintained it's momentum and is showing no signs of slowing down.

funnily enough, after 8 years my dad gets it. he even came to a drift practice to watch me and loved it. awesome moment!

My salute to you, never let go what you have in your heart, and thats not only for your cars.

My son is 11 and he was at the show yesterday, he went bananas with all those cars there he has every photo.

I will always support my little boy in whatever his heart is set upon.

Mario.

Ahh Jason I presume is the fella I was talking to about your M35, passed you on the freeway :laugh:. The Prince looks even better on the freeway.

Hey mate, Yep that was me you were talking to! You would have also passed my M35 - the missus was driving it and telling me i was driving the Prince too fast. She was a little paranoid about driving the M35 (second time). Saw you coming up behind - and was always going to give the thumbs up! How long before you are in a M35?? >_<

    • 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  
    • 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.
