This Sounds Promising^^^ Sup Mang? :thumbsup:

Drove the 4door to work today. LAST DAY!!! :banana:.-`Holidays`-. :banana:

(hasn't been driven much cooz SkyWagon)

Fuel pump was pretty noisey when I got home, (Dark Car/Hot Fuel) also was hunting at idle... Related?

Damn I love that car. :D

If I got too excited then this would happen I assure you. They love my skyline music, well they look at it a lot when I drive past in it, I think they are trying to fully concentrate on the sweet sweet sound

Didnt do anything today, just a couple of photos of what i did last week:

Dunno about that upper front bracket, it doesnt seem safe for non race days.

Because the bar fits in the back, theres no padding there. However thats the place your head would hit in a front ender.

Its a long way away, but in a crash, seatbelts stretch and cars bend, so.... its probably not safe.

I might have to scrap the window net idea, and save it for when i put a cage in there.

And i just butchered the trims to do it.......... >_<

Partly inspired by RoseBud, I bought and changed Oil, Oil filter and Fuel filter on the SkyWagon.

also bought coolant, maybe tomorrow I'll do a coolant Flush and change diff oil... maybe. :)

So far today in the name of SkyWags I...

Bought a new Thermostat and Gasket.

Bought a large bottle of demineralised water to add to yesterdays coolant purchase.

Bought some Exhaust cement.

Twiddled with the timing again.

Found at least 1 exhaust leak.

Tried to unbolt the Cat. Failed. (24 year old rusty)

Cleaned some under bonnet stuff.

Fastened the intake pipe better.

Might clean it a little more...

Still waiting to receive in the post...

Extractors, Swaybar Bushes, Temp sensor adapter.

Good Times. :D

    • 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?
