wandered down to sand own today to watch state and national racing series... seeing the sports sedans hit monster speeds at the top of the hill and run a 1:12 flat was worth the entry fee. rajabdamn

What kind of cars are they running?

the fastest were space-frame, fibreglass V8's... some with NASCAR and Trans-am leftovers running 360 wide slicks. but was an SAU ex-tarmac rally 32GTR in the mix too.

the rest of the day has 2 races from each series: MG's, formula Vees, some other open-wheels, sports sedans, sports cars, classic touring cars and old holdens.

dagnabit...where ws the headsup on dat shit...

closeup of spec list?

you're looking at it...has r33 brakes and a dual din screen....thats about it not even boosted...engineered back in 2006 and been his runabout ever since...took for a drive...goes alright, better than my non turbo 7m anyway..clearcoat is all peeling and messed up though there is a freshly painted shell in my backyard :P

i found out it was running through till sunday on friday evening... wasnt sure if i was going to make it or not depending on how tired I was after winton. was $25 spectator entry though, so a bit pricey, but fuill days worth of racing to watch. I'd rather watch it than go to F1's tbh.

    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • 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.
