111c wow thats not good at all :S hope you didn't cook anything mate

Drives fine still, averaged 10.8l/1000 from the first tank which included going through some twisty hills

The yellow colour I bought was absynth yellow, not a prefect match but better then what it was (use white primer underneath too, yellow doesn't cover other colours well)

We'll see how it goes today, is gonna be a heap colter today, and less hills now too

she is a lucky girl! 50cm back and she might not have walked away

dibs on the wreck :P

yeh no shit.

if you want the wreck still. let me know.

If its declare written off which it should, I'll find out how much and let you know..

looks good!

Now go get a trans oil cooler to shove somewhere in there!

awww fk...I knew I forgot something...putting that bar on was a bitch and now I gotta do it again!!! GARRR

Booked in to get my EMU installed/tuned in early march...I take it I need a trans cooler before then? :mellow:

Re rims...LOL i've ordered like 3 sets of rims from JP totalling 4k...1 x R34 GTR rims, 1 x XT7 (18 x 9.5 +30), 1 x LE37 (18 x 9.5 +12), and I'm eyeing some Advan TC2's...

*sigh* maybe I should just buy your ARX rims and spend the rest of the $$$ on more power mods :ph34r:

copycat :P

LOL, yeah, well it only made sense since the car had the skirts and rear bar already...

Was tempted to put Kyle's Gialla bar on (think 360 modena!!!) but it looked a little too much...and I was sure I would scratch that bar to buggery in a week!

Would end up looking like the blue car :O:

I was going for the AVS7 look below...but somehow got sidetracked :P

Actually, is the red one below - is that Kenstyle or Impul? I like it...

Is Cihan doing it??

lol i think you'll need alot more before then. I'm sprised you havnt already noticed the need for a trans cooler.

Why have you ordered so many rims ? lol

whats your power goal??

Hi Tom. I saw you on the highway on Sunday, just north of Ballina. That yellow really stands out on the road. I wasn't in the Stagea so you wouldn't have seen me. have a safe trip.

Yep he kinda talked me into it LOL. Nah I told him I'm happy for whatever the stock turbo can max out at 14 psi and my existing mods. Aiming for the 200 mark for now. When the turbo dies then we'll look at a higher number :devil:

Cihan says:

I would say installing the EMU is going to make a big difference in torque and power output regardless of the turbocharger installed, you may be able to enjoy the engine as it is for a long time before you have any need to upgrade the turbo. In my opinion the EMU is a great investment at any stage in the tuning process, so i wouldn't hold back if that's what you want.

So I said aaaah why not...no point waiting and waiting...that EMU has been sitting in the car for a couple of months now!

Oh and the rims...figure I'd try em and see which one I like best/fits best. For the price I got em for I'd be suprised if I don't make a profit selling the unwanted sets.

lol at Cihan. he does good work. hopefully mine will be complete* before the end of this month!

i might want the GTR rims. lol pm me.

*f**k it im still gonna buy things for my stag

thanks mate, its easy to spot

I spotted a bayside blue stag in tamworth as we were driving in.

We've just left dubbo, 400 kms to wagga wagga :-), car is running well too

I doubt you will see 200 without bumping the boost up which will blow the turbo, and you will be limited to 200 anyway by the intake. Still it feels good at that level.

Are you getting injectors?

You will need a valve body upgrade for the auto before the tune.

    • 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?
