can you get a pic of the rear part of the engine bay like the back part of the rocker cover that is blocked by the crossover pipe

and also please check the colour of the plate on the air flow meter.. should be a bright pink colour.

this is a series II AFM... little things like this will identify this infamous 1.5 which is supposed to have a series II engine but series I everything else..

if its the wrong colour its a series I.

if its the right colour.. then its a possibility that it has been in a bad accident and the front end has been replaced... but as to why the interior is half half... cos its not a complete series I interior cos of the dash surround which is from a series II

i have seen heaps of 1995's with that steering wheel.. and no series II i have ever seen has had 1 airbag.

This car might even be a rebirth lol, check the Vin number and make sure everything checks out. Check the Build plate and make sure it is not engraved, if it is then its rebirthed. Judging from condition of the front of the car i would be even thiking that its a 1993.

Well you guys have all been a great help.. I will see what posts come up over the week between now and Friday when it gets a check done by Hyperdrive.

Looks like its a bits and pieces but Im not going to rule out buying it just yet, the vibration it has is a bit of a problem but if it costs under $500 to fix it then hey its worth the money.

Thanks guys, I kinda get the impression that its not a series II and is more like a 1.5

Well with any luck it will pass all its tests on friday and I will be at the next cruise so you can all have a look at it.

    • 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?
