Feelin the love in here.

Bought some new nuts (since my missus keeps my current set in her hand bag) to match my soon to be teal brake calipers.

Nice man, my missus is f*cking crazy for teal coloured stuff.

Nice nuts Mat.

Sean, we give to strife because we can.

I get the car on ramps, take off cover, move tray under sump, remove plug, try to catch plug, remove filter and go have a smoke. That usually does it. :)

That's what i did for the oil, but when i went to do the filter i didn't have enough energy to take the sump cover off and get the clamps around the oil filter because it's very tight then i couldn't find the friggin things then i just gave up and wanted to go to sleep.

That's not too bad since it would be much much easier to get the sump cover off. The stock one is such a bitch. You'd think it'd be noisy though wouldn't you? with rocks and shit flying up and hitting it.

On dirt roads maybe - i don't think you'd notice to be honest. mount it with rubber grommets in between to insulate it from the k-frame and you shouldn't get any vibrations or anything.

Sorry they don't make them for boats.

Couple of things:

1- Your car is the same only with less doors, so how many knots does yours so and do you have it tied up at the jetty or marina?

2- ill happily meet you in the bends then say that.

3- the underbody protection plates rareJDM make one that fits sedan and coupe.

I replaced my engine oil last night, so difficult when my car is low as f*ck had to drive the car up on bits of wood to fit the jack in..

Still need to change the filter, i didn't end up finishing the change until about 7:30 last night and i was tired as f*ck so i thought i'd do it next oil change.

Is it normal for my car to use 1L of engine oil in about 7,000km?

Low is when you carry timber in your boot to get into places, cant fit a broom stick under the exhaust box or spark on a daily occurance.

umadbro?

My car is the same as yours except it's easier to get jiggy in the back

Burn!!

there are a few manufacturers. Zspeed also makes them.

Haven't done any research but I have read about one of the versions actually hanging lower than the plastic OEM tray - so that's something i'd be wary of. I'd be keen on one though. I hate taking those trays off - on my mazda the bolts rusted on and I had to literally bend it out of the way, to get the oil filter out - which was a cartridge style meaning i was guaranteed to get oil everywhere.

Trays are a piece of piss. Off in 1 minute.

How?

Get your electric drill, and a bit set with a 10mm socket. Put it in your cordless drill, and remove all the bolts. Job done.

Hey you can get jiggy in the back of mine too, if you're 4 foot tall and feel like breaking your back

After 5 months of going back on forth on the idea i finally debadged my V today and couldn't be happier with the results, will try get sum pics up of the car next week when my holidays start =)

yeah but with ours you open a door and make sweet tender love. with yours you have to wait what feels like century for the seat to come forward then be lego man size and made of rubber to get into the back. 4 doors for more whores!!!

    • 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?
