Fark it needs a good clean! Also need to sort out some heat sheilds on the hot side as there is some meltage happening on a few things :blink:

34GTR front end is awesome!

Certainly look tough and love the fact the front guards accomodate such large rims..... I considered it a while back but it hard to do to a GTT and do it right, you really have to do the rear guards etc to make it looked balance and its big $$$, ill just stick with what i have and make it work the best i can :D

Tractor is out of place in those pics.

Suppose they used it to tow all those broken cars out to the carpark?

Haha that is one tractor i am NOT picking on, it has way more bragging rights and power than ill ever have :P

Oh no picks of my blue beast that was on the hoist. Looking good.

And yes you definitely need to sort some sort of heat sheild before SMSP :P

Lol i dont want to have everyone looking at your beast and not mine :P

Yeah i guess it hasnt been punished for prolonged periods other than the dyno so will see how it hold up with the heat i guess!

Sort it out.

You will melt shit and be put out of the track day otherwise- take it from my experience. Have a look right round teh hot side on the chassis, and cover any loom, pipes, harness, P/S and whatever else you don't want to toast. Mine melted cops tail conduit stuff straight off, started toasting the wiring loom, and I got a misfire. That was with a Beanie on the turbz. High mounts throw heat big time.

What did you use to cover all your looms etc?

Mine has melted all the plastic hose connectors and black sheathing already! You know, coz racecar!

Dunno - haven't sorted it yet.

At the track Eric put a redbull can over the loom, no shit. Sorted it for the day.

I have a sheet of aluminiumised fibreglassy stuff- thats what I'll probably use, wrap it up. I don't want to cut up one of those nice slip on hose protectors.

This is what I did, works fine.

Would have used some sheet, but I had to buy half a meter of the sleeve to do my 10cm turbo oil return pipe, so I had plenty left over. Just sliced it in half, wrapped up my cables, and cable tied it together. No problems thus far, though I don't have a high mount...

Hmmm well another thing on the To Do list!

Is there any black heat shield crap i can cut up and use to stay with the whole stealth theme?

I know there are a couple of things that need wrapping!

    • 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?
