Hey guys just wanted to get your thoughts on what i should be looking at next for my car in terms of modifications..

i already have the following..

- Full 3" sports exhaust

- HKS FMIC

- Tien D150 coil overs

- RDA slotted rotors front and rear

- DENSO 50mm Hi-Flow fuel pump

- New coils from a GTR S1 (there the same as gtst -.-)

- New ignitor

- HKS mushroom air filter

Thats about it i think. I want to focus on power and reliablity as the car is a daily driver that hits the track every now and then.

Im more looking into getting a new ECU.. unfortunantly there is no nistune for this model so id like to know if you guys have found any decently

priced ecu systems.. the car atm is running verry rich... not that i have had it checked you can smell it..

Any thoughts and ideas are welcome

P.S if anyone knows of any maitenance tips that are often forgotten could you fill me in just want my car to be as fresh and healthy as it can be thanks. =D

ebc>>>evc>>>depends on who makes it. Electronic Vacuum Controller.

Nothing wrong with the mushroom, its fine as long as you have the triple layer dry element. Best unit for your AFM, no oil to get sucked in and contaminate. And contrary to what people say, they don't leak, they have a good seal and a much better filter setup than the unifilter wet type which are single layer filters.

yes ive had my bad terms with wet filters took the car to three mechanics cost me around $1800 to fix. The car was stalling and getting flat spots. so they said was fuel pump changed that didnt fix the problem then we changed ignitor cas and coils still the same problem got the shits after the third mechanic so i called up irwin who workes for skyline spares in wetheral park nsw. he went in his shop came out with another afm said try that instant fix man told me never to use a wet filter the AFM is verry sensitive...

though evcer since i got the fuel pump done ive had trouble starting it well atleast i think it was after the fuel pump i didnt have the car for 3 weeks had all these mechanics tinkering with it... dont get me wrong she starts but its verry hard drives fine

    • 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?
