hey guys just thought i would bring to your attention i had an attempted theft on my 33 at around 5ish this morning. (been meaning to get an alarm but recent lack of funds stopped this). I got lucky, no damage on entry and they have popped the ignition to start it however the steeringlock wouldnt release so once it was out the driveway they got no where. And my trusty neighbour spotted it while out having an early morning smoke. had not got around to putting insurance renewal back on either so im very lucky to still have my baby here.

I live in Southern Brisbane around the sunnybank and runcorn area so if u have a skyline in the area make sure its protected. First things on my list atm now are an alarm and renewing insurance.

Currently waiting on qps arrival :( will update this if and when i find out anything from them. They have taken my wallet, gps and the cheap bastard even took my smokes!!

AGAIN MAKE SURE YOURE BABY IS SECURE, ALARMED AND INSURED. I wish i hadnt left mine so long now.

So many thefts down brisbane way at the moment.

Suprised your neighbour didnt go and confront them if he saw something going on.

You were very lucky though this time, you still have your pride and joy to enjoy!!

neighbour said she thought it was me at first but when he looked at her the guy suddenly headed up the street and didnt come back and the car was still out in the road running then she realised what was going on. Working in a prison though all i can say is if the cops do actually catch this guy i hope he ends up in where im working.

found a column for yours btw :)

sometime this week I will get it re keyed.

could be worse - mate of mine had keys,wallet taken from a unit in that area. keys were benz optical and they are going to be a pain to replace. add to that one ute that went for a drive as well (with tools in the tray I am told.)

lock them up or lose them seems to be the thing for southside at the moment.

had a chat to a neighbor a few days bay who has a toy tucked away and he was saying someone is trying to get that as well..

what is it with people???

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      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

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      Coolant leak?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
