Todays results from a track day at Sandown. Look what's above the m2 competition. Yes the 33 is nowhere near stock but neither is the bm. Johnny, your boat would chop both those cars and you'd have plenty of $ left for hookers and coke.Screenshot_20200309_181905_com.android.chrome.thumb.jpg.bd2ee49195d9de65eeb88a8178ebc14a.jpg

I'm going to the drag strip tomorrow Pete, hope you're there to support me!

Also shameless plug, who needs a 180AMP alternator? these ones:

Same as what Andrew Hawkins has in his car... PM me I can do a mad price.

Ive just shown my boss ( who is a BMW fanatic through and through ) those Sandown results and pointed out that the R33 GTST is faster than the BMW M2 Comp !

He wouldn't believe it ! 

Gotta luv it !

To add to that, my own 33 gtst with a simple highflow turbo has run a 1:22.7  (2 tenths off that m2), driven to and from track and is a daily driver albeit slightly less comfortable than an m2 comp.

But won’t impress chicks, just dudes, so there is that to consider.....

Na poofs are more impressed by bm's and golf r's. Chicks love skyline's, the spool gets em wet and the panties drop.

I'll try Johnny but we are running trial batches of hand sanitizers this arvo.

So I'll see how I go !

So . . . . . if you threw $40K at your skyline how fast would it be ?

AND youd have a $100K in change ! Yay !

I reckon 40k will get me to the top of that time sheet. Close enough to it anyway. 

Skylines have been doing sub 1:20's for many years, I remember old Big Red R32 videos cracking 1:16's.

This is heavily driver and balls specific at least at Sandown... but yes M2's aren't actually that amazing in the real world. They will get dispatched quite easily by a Mustang with tyres: (which is what the PP2 setup is)

M2's are at 1:22, 1:25 and 1:30, damn driver mod skewing the results :P

Corvid19 has destroyed my Putty Rd adventures !

I think I've now got a form of driving cabin fever.

What to do . . . . . . . 

This has been keeping me sane with the tracks closed ATM. Plenty of different games with mods out there for hills driving.
100% worth the cost and less likely to be pulled over :4_joy:

    • 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?
