Is she running yet ? , I see you got rego plates on it.
was it hard getting blue slip
 

That plate is there because i had to leave it on the street overnight. (Live in unit block and manager is a w#nker) so not rego yet. Still heaps to fix on it (driveshaft boots, lower ball joints, new hub bolts)

We have been able to locate the issue and will have the locksmith sort it. Appears to be a faulty ICU box (in ignition tunnel).20161210_172720.thumb.jpeg.fcee3b5ca31fb

Can't get over how many speakers there are, and the audio setup in general... seems quite smart.. you can buy a centre speaker from alpine I think that may fit a touch better where the screen was.. I'm guessing it's all more reasonably priced in Japan hence the amount of work that was done [emoji736]

I have made a harness and will be testing the ICU on Thursday. I have removed the carpet as its not in the best shape and tidying up the audio components as well to find why the food screen is not picking up the video input. . Engine hoses and bolts ahve been vhecked and tightened as there were a few that were loose. Next to get her started. I have located another ignition barrel and key to replace the faulty one along with other items such as carpet, radiator overflow tank, washer bottle and pumps, battery cover, interior bits to replace the speaker panels in roof whrn i tidy up and conceal the audio.

Been a busy night. Sub enclosure, false floor, amp box , amps & sub removed. Also removed the rear hatch screen and excess wiring not required. Looks alot cleaner now. Plan is to hide everything for a more cleaner look. 20161215_203648.jpeg20161215_204810.jpeg20161215_205753.jpeg20161215_210708.jpeg20161215_210746.jpeg20161215_211830.jpeg20161215_224204.jpeg20161215_225402.jpeg20161215_230940.jpeg20161215_230955.jpeg20161216_001701.jpeg20161216_001715.jpeg20161216_001723.jpeg

Gee for a bit of bass, I'd be sweating all the time of getting a flat...
At least you could listen to awesome sound while you're waiting for the tow truck.
Run flats ?

Yeah as i need to register this and do a road worthy im planning on putting tge spare back in and putting the amp on the under floor tray like i did my last car. That way i can have both. Picking up a spare gearbox today and will be swapping over the speed sensors as i have a 16 flash Check AT error code (Speed Sensors). Im not sure which one so ill swap out both.

Very productive day today. I have a 16 flash AT error code which relates to the transmission speed sensor. I have sourced a spare gearbox where i have taken the valve body out of and swapped it into the m35. 20161217_133907.thumb.jpeg.4407024403a8e20161217_150943.thumb.jpeg.8c5c588bc42ea20161217_153641.thumb.jpeg.a4161fa52b42b20161217_153651.thumb.jpeg.df8bcb58dc05720161217_174749.thumb.jpeg.874126ff570a220161217_181208.thumb.jpeg.16165b75ad433

    • 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?
