How dodgy is that!

Ive seen car dealer owners and staff thrash the cars so much, we even went to one place and the guy had to move all these cars to get to the one we wanted to test drive, every single car was dead cold but he still proceeded to floor it like a maniac up the street just to turn around and come back again :)

I think knore was more worried about the fact that they were getting into a car with a dead cold engine and revving the tits off.

It might not have been a dealers car but? They could have just borrowed the plate for the weekend to compete in the burnout comp? I think they'd be pretty stupid to try and advertise a caryard whilst doing a burnout at a car event. Just my opinion.

Hey nismogirl no its not a pretty site seeing that being done to somethin i put alot work into and cared about not too sure how old he was id say early 30's from what you saw did it sound ok or was it struggling i do miss the power im now driving (i shouldnt really say) a vn commonwhore on gas all this just to save enough money to buy a house

radiator fluid should be good for 5 years, however u should change if it boils

Coolant should be changed every 2 years, im a mechanic and ive never seen coolant last 5 years. Cooling system flushes cost $88 bucks do that every 2 years and u wont have a problem with the cooling system. General upkeep is the key, people dont spend money and think they have a great car coz they havent had to spend any money on it but then it cost em more in the long run.

Yeah? Both efforts I have done were 1min30sec+ and my temp guage hardly moved at all, but they were only first gear ones, but still yeah had flush slightly after first go, and have not flushed since, so might be a good idea :(

Bah, 1st gear burnouts are for PU$$Y'S!!!!

:flamed:

I was just quoting off the bottle :Oops:

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • 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
