Sweet. So you bought just the mid pipe section?

Anychance of a sound clip?

Couple of pics of the two mid pipes next to each other, for those interested.

Nice Nick!

We don't all need drain pipes Scottytongue.gif

Can you make some magical forged rods and pistons that go in through the plug holes for me...?

My old mechanic rebuilt an engine for me from under the car through the sump, without removing the engine. Does that count? :whistling:

Cool. Thanks for the pics and sound clip. Sounds like it has more of a throb at idle. I'm on the hunt for one.

I've had this http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/MISHIMOTO-RACING-RADIATOR-12-FAN-SHROUD-03-06-350Z-Z33-VQ35-MMFS-350Z-03-/310378082783?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4843f9b1df#ht_2521wt_956

turn up today....hoping to get in in by the end of the weekend and hopefully it fits without to much modification to my race radiator.

got a bit of a power gain in the top end with that big POS fan gone.....motor is a lot smoother to......nearly as smooth as an RB20DET.

still waiting in anticipation for my new front and rear bars!!!!

What new bars are you getting Craig?

A custom one on the front(in other words I cannot figure wtf it is) and Kenstyle on the back.......and I am flaring the front fit in with the front guard!

It's a custom modified kenstyle front - one of a kind for sure!

Pictahs? Not that I can see them at workbecause all photo's are blocked somehow!

thats what it looks like to me as well.........I just hope it handles the flares.....was also thinking of going with a Matt Black vinyl for the front bumper!

I might also set it up as a quick release bar

Did the shipping really cost almost $600 for the fans?

Cool! Can't wait to see this!

wrote it off...

That's a bummer mate :O . It wasn't 'cause the chassis got caught on the line markings & threw you off the road....?

    • 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.
