that's good. wish I coulda paid the Ex out in 2 weeks.

Helga only cost 5k and I only borrowed 2k - so was an easy repayment :3 !

However, Rosie was 12k and had to pay that off in 6 months. (Mighty fast repayments - however, it's through Dad which is interest free. So no complaints).

If you're fine with it - I would really like to see your R34's power some time (Maybe when you're heading over to Rob's one weekend). Kind of wanting to see what power I'll be dealing with if I go through with it. I'll even take the back seat if need be haha :P

I was there last Sunday thinking you would be

take the keys it's insured :P (are you?)

:( ! And Rob invited me around on the weekend after Friday night ! When are you heading back over? I'll have to plan on going around as well.

Haha life insurence !

In short:

Personally I think they look good, they do very little, if anything (at least the ones we buy - and at our power levels)

good quality engine and gearbox mounts is where it's at

having said that I'm likely to put one for the wank factor or as I like to think the good looks.

Folks who don't know better will like them when they look in the engine bay

arse wipe rev heads will ask WTF coz they know everything. Especially if it's not the "right brand" with real heavy pressure in the damper

has anyone got any experience with engine torque dampers? Do they actually do anything or what?

If no track time/not massive torque then sploosh factor. I just bought nismo ones as i tore 1 of mine at a track day two weeks ago.

Was helga that r33 with the stuffed rails

Shiny bits.

Someone somewhere ( so it must be true :laugh: ) said they help your engine mounts live longer ?

dunno, ive got one and i still dont know.

Rosie if you want a turbo aswell to achieve that i have a rebuild Hiflow turbo by Hypergear which i will be taking off my car soon thats if you want it cheap.shaft play is still within the tolerances. HKS actuator

    • 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?
