Hi,

I am moving to Brisbane on the 16th of May coming from Townsville.

I am keen to get into some of the cruises you guys organise.

I don't get a chance to see many skylines up here will be interesting seeing some other similar GTR's/GTSt's.

I am sending my car down first to Gavin Woods as it needs a couple things fixed that I don't want done in Townsville. Hopefully I can organise to have it ready close to the time I arrive.

Living - Clayfield

Working - Southbank

Nice 33's!! I will have to get a better look at one of the cruises, if I can find my way to the starting point. I got a copy of the Brisbane/Gold Coast UBD which has been heaps of help so far. 7 job interviews in one day.

Theres only 3 R32 GTR's in Townsville. More ppl seem to like the R33 shape than the R32 shape.

My name is Jonathan as well.

Does anyone work in Urban Civil Design in Brisbane? (probably not)

Thanks. Being a Engineering Surveyor, I have more to do with the construction side of things (mainly sub-divisions), not so much design. Being from Townsville, ever come across a John Kuskopf? He has a small architect firm there.

Another GTR leaving us, soon there wont be any left ! Hamish with the white R33 GTR is getting rid of his to and i have just sold mine so that only leaves gary and aaron in the R32's and the doctor with his R33 . I think we need more GTR's up here to combat the WRX plague!

welcome jonathan. Looking foward to meeting you. I don't know about your choice of suburb to live in though. :) move to toowong/ indroopilly/ Auchenflower area. That's where most of team brisbane resides. Well, everyone that matters. :D

rock on. :headbang:

    • 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?
