Two blokes, workin 9-5:30pm doing a full paint correction. APC, foam lanced, ironX, clay bar, polished for 4 hrs with ROs, sealant, wax. Knackered.

Not leaving the garage with it before the stagea cruise!

Who did it Alex?

A workmate of mine.

He does a bit on the side for some cash. Very professional and very OCD. Would recommend. However if it catches the nail, it isn't coming out, so if your thinking those key marks, they could be reduced I guess, but not removed.

He's in the bexley area. Have a look at his handy work on Sunday :)

Nah, I'm not worried about the key marks right now; no amount of buffing will get clear back on the exposed black base. The damaged panels will have to be sprayed which is on the list currently. I hate vandals...

Looking forward to seeing the results mate!

Took my car to barbagello, first time on a proper track to open her up. On the last run got my courage up and pushed it harded and passed a s13 easy and reeled in on a 345hp chaser. Hit speed cut on the back straight :( and got plenty of fade from the brembos !!

Next up is install sld dyno and dyno run..

Very happy with the car atm!!

Took mine got its first proper drive since the build: absolutely fantastic! Only downer was the plague of Lycra lovers, and the rubber messing up my front and rear guards ;) .

Almost crossbreed it with a Toyota 86 today when some complete muppet in a white Toyota 86 decided to speed up and try to turn right from the left lane of the roundabout I was going straight through. Really clever: was within 2 inches of having his car as a bonnet ornament...

very nice suction pipe!

P.S. Without the fan shroud I suggest you do some shielding in front of the pod to get rid of the hot air.....remember the heat sensor is in our AFM and it will affect your power through traffic.

Qfm hpx. I think my next upgrade is slotted rotors maybe some better street pads and some new fluid :)

Remsa or ar1m might help you out, hpx are pretty tame

A1RM's still fade. Better off keeping the HPX for road duty and running some race pads for the track.

I got project mu track pads with the brembos but didnt put them on obviously.

Whats the view on skimming the rotor if i change from the track to street pad and vice versa?

Replaced shocks all round, and bled the callipers since i was there.

Also - HPX are hopeless for track work. I know two people who tried tand both were miserable failures.... A1RMs are a whole different story, but i would expect they would be tough on rotors if you used them for street. Cold bite is not great either, so agree that pads are the #1 thing to swap in and out for track days (or maybe #2 after tyres).

    • 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..
    • 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
