Well off I went to the last Dyno day at ALL Star tuning and what would you know, I locked my keys in the car after about 15 mins the lovely RACQ guy came and took a look:

"Yeap they certainly locked in there you twat!"

Our local hero decided to lend his expertise:

"I reckon I could punch through the window using my heroic powers, look at these biceps, are they buff or what!!!"

After calming down our local hero, as I didnt really want to replace my window, we left it to the expert, as you can see at least he knew what he was doing!

And another job well done:

"Here's your keys back you stupit GIT!

Finnally I get my keys where they are supposed to be in my hands, scary aint it!

Funny thing was because I had a stuffed battery and the ignition was left in the ON position I now had to get a push start from some of the guys hanging around laughing at my incompetence, which made them laugh harder, ahhhh what an adventure!

Cheers to krawler for the pics! :D

Was a very funny experience. I thought there were more pics than that Cyrus.

Another classic event from the day was them yelling out "who ever owns the black skyline with green stripes, move your car or it will be put into the bin"

Those were the days eh?

EDIT: We should also say thanks to the ever obliging RACQ guy who let us take his pics. Yes he thought we were weird.

ha ha ha woops.. not the only one that has done that.. my alarm locks itself after 20seconds with the doors closed... dyno place found out the hard way once was on the dyno all closed up with the alarm going off its rocker...

    • 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?
