Hi all,

Wondering if someone can help me out with a bit of translation to Japanese.. My brother's ex-drift car came with a club sticker on it, and I've managed to find the website of the club. Now I'm trying to write an email to them, see if someone knows the original owner in Japan.

My Japanese is pretty rusty, but I'm basically after someone to check what I've done so far and help me with the rest. I've tried the web-based translators but they seem a bit off.

Cheers,

Vijay

'Hi,my name is Vijay. I'm Australian :D

Last year I bought a Skyline from Japan to Australia. It is an R32 GTST.

On the side of the car there is a 'SKIDLINE' drift club sticker.

I was wondering if you would know who owned the car when it was in Japan.

I am interested in speaking with them to find out more about it, or get some photos of it

If you know them could you get them to email me at XXX?

Here is a picture of the car.

Thank you very much,

Vijay"

and here's my halfassed reply:

"こんにちは

私の名前はVijay です. オーストラリア人 です.

きょねん 日本 から オーストラリアまで オレンジ の スカイラインをかぃました. HCR32 です.

くるま に SKIDLINE のステッカー があります.

The only way I can input Jap on my PC is through Character Map, which is extremely tortuous..I got cramps halfway through and gave up.

Many thanks in advance!

Vijay

こんにちわ! VIJAYと申します。 ちょっとお聞きしたいんですが。。

去年スカイラインのHCR32をオーストラリアに輸入しました。 車の横にSKIDLINEのステッカーが貼ってあって、前のオーナーと連絡取れたらもっとこの車の詳しい情報を聞けるのかなって思ってメールしました。 車の写真を送りますのでもし前のオーナーさん知ってたら、彼に僕のメールアドを渡して頂けませんか? メールアドが*insert mail address*

宜しくお願いします!

Vijay

    • 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?
