^^ HEY Daz man,

Yea i raced that R33 once, never doing that again,

Anyway, I recon we should start and official 'GEELONG THREAD', Yea CAPSLOCK coz im serious.

Someone do it.

Also, Skylines dont hang out at the water front, Coz we are smarter than Holden/ford drivers,

Either that or out cars are more un-roadworthy =p

Kaz, you sure do love Geelong so much.

May I ask of what's special about this town?

ive had a skyline for 2 and a half years and have never been pulled over which is nice...

also never getting caught in heavy traffic as i hate crawling bumper to bumper....

thats my thoughts

Hadn't thought about the traffic...

I haven't been pulled over in 4 years, that is in Melbourne, it's all down to your driving style but won't ramble too much about it.

yer thats true about driving style actually, good point... and the fact i dont cut hot laps in circles around town for hours on ends.

i wouldnt like to live in a city smaller then geelong though... i like geelong but any smaller would do my head in i think lol

lol I get pulled over and defected (generally in Epping) when casually driving back from the shops on a Thurs night x11ty

Meanwhile I drive like a tard through Brooklyn, in a hurry, flogging it from every set of lights.. and he pulls me over for like 2secs then I can go..

Driving style has nothing to do with it :P

    • 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.
