How much Killer Wasps now? (compared to before?)

with injectors and plenum by themselves

+15 wasps and -3psi boost :)

same Ramp Rate (RR) and Dyno set up as previous run!!@!

overall temp (according to Nismo) but have no way of telling easily is supposedly down 18%

Fuel economy (again according to Nismo) 4% better but bugger all realy I would think.

Plenum is supposedly worth 2-5Kws. So if you haven't got all the fruit then spend your money elsewhere (Suspension, tyres etc..)

Plenum provides an extra litre of air (fact) and reduces the need for the 32 to be tuned so rich for cylinder 5/6.

this ^ is what I have read. SO tech heads, mechs and numpty's who wish to debate - go away and Mass <---

ID 1000's make it easier on your tuner :) besides the other benefits.

Currently running at 55% of fuel pressure capcity, so got some head room left (80% is close to max out)

So I was in sydney yesterday in the stupid 45 degree heat, stuck in traffic.

"hey babe, what is that smell and why is there steam on the front window"

OH BOY!!

Pulled over and found out the top tank was leaking something chronic.

Thankfully I had a mate who was working at just jap who was kind enough to let me buy an alloy radiator over the phone and deliver it out o me with some tools. We got the old one out, as we were putting the new one in we realized the drain bung on mine was in a different place to the alloy one.

Problem?

No worries, worked out we could use one of the plastic cell inspection plugs on my battery and screw it into the radiator.

Filled it up, bled the air out and made it back to Canberra by about midnight with less than 100ml leaking out from the bush mechanic drain plug.

Still hell cheaper than a tow back.

Past few days I've been repairing and prepping a Type M ??? front lip (waaaaaay too windy to paint yesterday), did it today ! Put it on and some of my fiber glassing cracked. :(

But it's on. :thumbsup: Only did it Black but may eventually do it in the KN6 Dark Grey Pearl it should be.

I reckon it looks Phat ! :woot: Just gotta cut n polish it.

Also swapped over to a manual centre console (so I don't have the Auto Power switch hole anymore) and slapped a Skyline H pattern sticker on it.

Pulled out some old wirings and switches I still had in there from the "High Boost Mod". (don't need anymore as I have had an R32 actuator for a while now.)

Question : Is it a legal thing that you Must have the gear pattern visible in the car? as in, on the gear Knob or elsewhere? either way it's there now.

i put them up tomorrow, tyre fitting joint put two of my tyres ( even though they are slicks the have arrows) on the wrong way. so its looking funny atm

trackday with circuit club, just havent been out for awhile - starting to get itchy fingers...

Heres some crappy pics, i get some better one over the wend.

    • 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?
