Next to the passenger side strut tower.

it will be heavily concealed by pipes and heat shields.

its not that silly a question, when i was a teenager and only first getting my hands dirty it was like an epiphany moment when i found the turbo on a friends car. admittedly they thought that was really lame but i was still in awe of my own achievement :P

I did the same on seeing my first turbo car nearly 15 years ago. Anything that had turbo written down the side in HUGE letters was the shit.

definately not NA, but yes thats exactly what i see when looking down the passenger strut tower. thanks for the help!

i'll get under tomorrow and check it out... im just curious lol :yes:

A noob question like that is normally gunna stir up some cheeky comments, but at least your trying to learn... The GTT is an awesome car... Try read as much as you can on SAU and be careful what threads you start as the guys may come across the wrong way if you ask a silly question :) if you have any 34 questions just PM me and ask... May save you the flaming! ;)

Can't know everything all at the start, if you don't know, search then ask.

Sorry didnt know he was going to be SITTING ON TOP OF THE ENGINE!

just tryin to help man

here's a quote for you

The right hand side of a vehicle, by convention, is the side to the right of the driver while seated facing the normal direction of travel. Consequently, a person observing a front-of-vehicle engine compartment while standing in front of the vehicle would have the right hand side of the vehicle to his left.

there has to be a general rule to save world wide confusion :cheers:

A workshop i worked for made us use "Near Side" rather than "passenger side", i thought it was stupid! But everyone has their lingo i guess!

yeah a bit silly i reckon..... But anyway, i am pretty sure this thread has achieved what it needed too, itll go the wasteland if we keep changing topics i guess :P

yeh i did a search but couldn't seem to find my answer. I don't doubt this has probably been mentioned or even asked before, but I just couldn't seem to find it.

Anyways, I did end up finding it thanks to everyone that helped :)

baby steps for me lol. I'll be sure to shoot you up with questions that I have Mat, thanks again.

Its one of those things you may not find in a search as its not asked that often, if you buy a turbo car you generally have some basic knowledge, but hey as you say "baby steps"....... But try avoid too many threads with simple things as the guys will generally start with the LULZ :P

    • 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?
