Oh and as some may have noticed, the bonnet is freshly painted but does not yet have the lip back on as i havent had the time.......

I replaced the front pads and rotors and flushed the brake fluid prior to SAU Nats but ran out of time to do the braided lines and paint the callipers so ill tackle that later -

I was still undecided about the big brake kit so i upgraded the fronts and DAMN they work well when hot! They are A1RM pads with the DBA4000 rotors

While i was in Sydney i got Federal RSR's all round fitted and balanced, the guys at Tyres For Less were super helpful but i noticed a knock into there driveway and it turns out i had broken a traction rod with 1 too many skids, they are a crap design (D-Project or Project-D cant remember) they rely on 4 welds..... So i limped over too Just Jap and grabbed another arm to keep me going......

Once the tyres and arm were all sorted i got Wheel Align specs from Adz which were simple AWESOME, car has never handled so well, it tracks dead straight and is like its on rails

Oh and while i am on the topic is suspension arms, my ISC arms were stuffed and seized, i got them second hand and they were garbage so i fit a new offset V2 style castor arm from GKTECH

Somehow i randomly found gear oil in my chassis rail LOL, i have NFI how or why its in there but i just degreased the hell out of it and no prob since, was really odd!

So i figured i was prepped for nats, loaded with E85, brakes and tyres good to go and was super keen

But the car REALLY didnt want to go..... Had HKS errors and E sensor errors on the way to pick up Carmen from the airport, it was the start of a long day....

Does it go?

Yeah i drove it to JEM after the event and they said i am not having it back until i do what i was told in the first place and do the fuel system properly, i shouldnt have been a tight ass and i wouldnt have had these dramas lol :P

Good girl.

Most used tool in your shed I'm sure.

For those that didnt see it, i couldnt get more than half a lap with any sort of power so i was just obnoxious on the outlap for lolz :P

Good girl.

Most used tool in your shed I'm sure.

Yeah itll get a workout! I love it! Snap On/Blue Point quality is always top notch!

I got other prezzies like Snap On tool bag and lots of booze but the Jack seemed relevant to a build thread :D

Next one is at 1:30, gotta pass the time somehow! :P

Grats on the trophy!

Good luck mate! Sounds like your all over it!

Haha thanks! I laughed when Ash called my name!

so how good are the RSR's? do they hold any sort of traction?

They are good mate, gotta get them hot but 3rd grips up nicely...... The video shows them dead cold so of course it was just skids.......

    • 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?
