i was always taught that if you have nothing nice to say ..... say nothing at all :D my mate just had a car done there by shaun and hes had nothing but troubles, not saying there a bad shop just that the one person i know thats been there had big troubles, but cheers for the suggestion

cheers dion i think the guy thats gonna be doing the wiring is the same simon your talking about, a mate of mine gave me his number and he seems like a top bloke.

thanks heaps for all the sugestions, and thanks adrian smooth garage were gonna be my next call :thumbsup: .

ill let you all know how she goes it should be registered and on the road by next weekend.

Do you mean register the car, or register the engine conversion? Took mine through Regency 2 weeks ago to register the RB25 in it, got my certificate of exemption/modification today.

+1 for Shaun, despite your mate. He had my car in and out within few days and been purring since - that's a good year ago! Luck with it.

Dec's does a great job with wiring. he works in the same principle as i do, everything must look and work as factory.

I got your msg mate i'll be down next week to come and do it some time. just got to work out when im free :D

cheers mate i got your msg ill see you tuesday :thumbsup:

get after market ecu then anyone can do it, i used microtech when i changed from rb20 to 25 thats when JMS were the old JMS. much better scope of changes when u use after market puter.

ive got a mines ecu tuned for the mods ive got so far so that will do for now

amd yeah evryone has been saying simons work is great so im happy :D

  • 3 weeks later...

just a quick update, simon did a great job it looks factory and works like factory and it was running and registered by the end of that week. ( next engine swap i do ill be calling simon for sure )

    • 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?
