Got a pair of afms(cheers Nak :)) which I will test in the morning and will check the ecu for codes. Short from that, who really is keen for a barby and a few beers and a gtr busy bee tomorrow? Got the day and arvo free as and really wanna get this sorted.

Jesse.

i would check fuel pressure then spark

sounds like fuel pressure

all have to remember the basics of an engine

suck squeez bang and blow

it dosent matter if its a 50 year old push rod motor or a dohc motor its all 4 stroke tec

Any black smoke coming out the exhaust?

I've borrowed wheels for tomorrow to get to the workshop, if I can I will try swing past on the way back. If the mrs lets me borrow the laptop I'll bring that too, PM me your number dude

Thanks all, your all wikidly helpful and willing to help. A far cry from the crx forum or ford wa.. :)

I'm pretty much open to anything at this stage, I just don't have the $ to tell a mechanic to "just fix it". I'm gonna swap in Nak's afms tomorrow and also check my ecu, hopefully that'll answer some questions.

Short from that, I'm thankful for any help I can get with the beastie. :P I'll be home or close by most of the day so anyone who wants to test their patience is welcome to pop by. Haha.

Jesse.

That'd be great Mike, when you have some time(im free most days) I need to swap those parts in to find out exactly what's goin wrong. I also havnt tried your afms coz I dropped my 10mm socket into my engine bay and haunt recovered it yet. :P

    • 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?
