Hi guys,

Doing the newbie thing and introducing myself.

Im Brett im a bit of a forum junkie, I sponsor the Supra forums and been on other forums for a while.

I been on here but never registered. (properly anyway) Have some friends with a few Skylines and know they come on here so I thought I would come on here and make myself known and get past the newbie stage.

Im Located in Seven Hills (Sydney) and work in the Automotive industry.

I dont own a Skyline but dont mind them at all (Im partial to the R34) I own a Lexus IS200 but dont hold that against me.

Like most cars and car owners once they get married, have a kid(S) and a morgage. Its in bits in the gagrage because there is always something more important to spend your money on.

Thanks

Brett

Sarcasm, I like sarcasm.

G,day mate, sorry for the lack of replies, pop in on any of our events for a look see, you dont need a skyline to be here, although it does make you more hip if you do, lots of events coming up next year from track days to motakhanas (TEXI) in which you can use the daily for some fun (throw the better half in the daily and take her for a blast).

Bring the family along for some LOLs at Texi as its a ball for all ages and there are other women and kids to keep the flock happy whilst you check out the skids.

Hope the toyota project is coming along well, I know its hard as Im in the same boat with a missus a EX and 3 kids that eat into my car budget, but bit by bit it eventually comes together.

Mark.

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      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

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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
