Team USA with the 32 will be interesting. Will the Berry machine go faster than Suzuki san though?

forgot about "team america"..... hopefully they don't have to many issues with the car after so much work in such a short period of time. You secretly hope they suck but in a nice way.

Would be happy if Suzuki san gets up there this year, not sure if he is really the underdog type thing this year though.

Anyone here any news about the Sutton brothers new "GT style S15" with all the goddies, they drove the 180sx year before last and had an issue with the engine last year on the night before practice. Should be interesting as well if we ever see it.

I never classed Suzuki as an underdog. By the time he turned up here in Aus, he had proved himself. I mean underdog with a hollinger gearbox...Full respect to him though.

Did the Sutton guys run the 2J 180sx last year? Is that thing coming back, great car and concept. Loved watching it around the track.

Been watching their build with a lot of interest.

Maybe not a winner this year but could be a dark horse and worth a flutter.

Suttons were shakeing down their S15 same day as I was shaking down JET200. Still in primer but man did it look awesome. It was in a closed garage so didn't get to see it up close.

People hand timed it, but it's not my place to give anything away or share photos.

Here is footage of my car on shakedown though. Pumped for WTAC now!!

bloke I know Troy in a blue s15 had a quick shake down last wednesday morning at EC. managed a 1.42 with traffic and a broken front splitter. few tweeks and it should be in the 38's/39's if trazck conditons are better!

his best last SL was 1.43 so fingers crossed he can get into the sub 40's!

    • 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?
