Yeah i feel the black head lining is a little too much. Would be different if i had black piller panels etc.

The upholstery and new liner will be done professionally. Not sure on cost for seats but got quoted 180 for the roof installed so thats a pretty good price. Essentially the interior will be black and beige/tan with burnt orange seats and silver highlights (door handle trims and gear stick surround).

The outside i am planning on doing a matt dark blue wrap with matt or gloss black wheels. Ill try and find a picture of the wrap for reference.

After putting up with a low idle for a week , yesterday took out throttle body to wash out with carb cleaner, gave it a good clean - hooray problem sorted.

Went for a good long drive last night to give it a good squirt, blew the passenger globe ! WTF its 6 months old.

Picked up a HID kid at 11, dismembered the front end and took the lights out. All complete by 13:30

While putting it all back together there is a whiff of coolant found that rad is weeping just near the cap :rant: . so now new rad time as soon as I order and it arrives.

Fitted up a fire extinguisher today. Curse you Mighty Car Mods and your evil sidekick, Supercrap Auto!

Nice removable factory bracket on the non electric passenger seat so the extinguisher moves with the seat.

yet to do in the near future
exhaust modification
dump pipe
intercooler
intake
bc racing suspension
and new wheels


made as soon as the financial situation to give up :angry:

No big deal Josh.

You can get the 29mm recirc adapter and adapter plate from Nengun.

I used a Subaru adapter plate and just reamed the holes to realign them.

Just counter sink the plate and use counter sunk adapter bolts and take a nick off the side to clear the throttle body.

That's it.

It's well worth the install.

The valve travels so well, the intake recircs like it should.

No shudder, black smoke, dumping fuel.

Really smooth.

The Greddy is 40mm , Turbosmart 22mm, plus the Greddy FV is so adjustable with the two springs plus the wind in plunger.

By far the best thing I've done to this car so far.

I had a custom pipe welded up for $60, bought a couple of vac nipples to screw in and used a universal turbosmart kompact which had a 32mm base, easy peasy and asthetically good looking

Yes but to pay over 300 for one that doesn't bolt straight on against 189 for a turbosmart that does.....

adapter was easy to make an 8 mm aluminum sheet. but requires a little drilling, and grinding

the time it takes about an hour and the price of the adapter will be 2 €

Picked up a new driver seat today, happened upon it while checking out one of the local Up Garage locations...set me back a whole 20 usd

anyone happen to know the stock rail bolt size, I'm guessing 12mm but wanted to double check before I order a wrench, may just go ahead and pick up a ratchet set thoughHkC5bgbl.jpg

    • 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?
