Tint that's too dark, a screamer, and 'not too low' but is 100mm.... Which is about the depth that the open class WTAC Winnig gtr runs at....

It's usually the easy to change and obvious things that can't be ignored that are hardest... Like dark tint and low. Surely you get the point after a 'few' different places say the same thing. you're asking someone to risk their operating license.

Sorry what I ment was window tint that is still legal and it is well over 100mm from the lowest point of the car (as apparently that's the rule?) and if I do lift it up change the wheels pull all the adjustable arms out source stock ones and do 100other things there still no doubt going to fail me on the screamer that are things that are a lot harder to change when I'm sure there's someone out there that would sign the car off as it is..

Sometimes those costs have to be factored into the 'cheap' mainland cars unfortunately.

Goodluck.

By the sounds of things, no mechanic would/should sign off on it as is and as stated, they would be risking their License to do so.

Sometimes you just have to play the game. :yes:

Dont just weld the screamer up, if you hit gate you will create all sorts of dramas as the gas will be pushed backward. This could damage the wastegate / turbo.

Get someone to extend it and put two flanges on it, so that it can be recirculated into the dump pipe, and removed. Cost you maybe $100

Oh no no I wasn't thinking of welding it up and if I did block it up I wouldn't even think about going any where near boost like just have it like that to drive to the inspection and drive home but I have a guy that is good with fab so I'll speak to him about plumbing it back in to the exhaust and make it so I can switch between plumb back and. Straight out

Best bet would be to get it plumbed back into the exhaust, I had it done a few months ago on my R32 due to the obnoxious noise when on boost and all the unwanted attention it caused. Cost me $200 to have done.

    • 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?
