Hi guys. If you guys can remember I had built a r32 gts4 and crashed it some time back, and for those who have been following I got me a very clean r32 gtr that was garage kept for a little while like 8 years because the motor was blow. It was perfect. Me and a friend who has been coming around for a while from most projects started at it again. We decided to do a couple of things. First was to strip the existing chasis and paint everything. We were shocked at how clean the car was as we were doing so. And even went further with the painting and the inspection of components. We took everthing out the engine bay box and all strip the under carage and moved on to take the rear bumper off and strip the trunk clean. Painted and clear coated the whole thing with matching silver paint. In my head it was mostly for protection reasons as the car didnt seem to even have one ounce of rust. We decided to start amd swap the motor into this new body. And if you can remember the motor was fully built and good for around 800hp easily, but im looking for only 600. A few things thats different this time was our custom intercooler, we will run a bit of NOS. ( not installed as yet) haltech PS2000 ecu. Bigger injectors and a total different fuel system including an accusump setup with 3 bosch 044 pump with cell and surge tank along with a fuel cooler. The system is a bit overkill but I may go with e85 a bit later. I also did a few custome parts of the car myself like gauge pod. Center switch console, chassis brace bar behind the two front seat. We are still working on the fuel system as we speak and keeping in mind that I will send this car to the states for a full tune as its for drag racing only. this time around we installed a front and rear lsd. Which I hope will not be a waist of money. I will also use a set of front and rear diffuser. Its by no means a full drag car but will be used for it only. At other times it will have to sit in my shops show room floor. Im waiting on my new rims also to arrive as Work takes like 3 months to have them built and shipped (Meisters S1 3 peace). I would like to say thanks to all the peopel that has supported me from day one to the ones that still do. Cheers mate.

:lol::lol::lol: kml. Mate I was thinking the same thing. I have a r33 gtr and that has to this day hold my position at the tracks. This r33 is screaming for fuel to do better. But it hasnt lost a race as yet. So I know hands down this 32 tuned right will deal with my problems and then get stored away. My r33 took down well tuned 600hp supras. But I feels im in for an awakening this year so im getting ready. Thanks you were a big help mate.

How much is it going to cost to take the car to a tuner? I know at least three tuners who go to the Islands and South Africa to tune cars and I am sure would travel to Miami if you have access to a dyno.!!

Well shipping cost will be around 1500 usd round trip. My only issue would be a tuner thats familiar with the PS2000. ecu. BUT the shipping may be cheaper as a new ship is being commissioned in the next month. That would be around 700 round trip. You can pm me there info and I can consider them. But if I had known that MY PS2000 was so Australia based I wouldn't have gotten it. See how much I love you guys engineering skills. :D

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      Coolant leak?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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?
