hey y'all

finally got a confirmed date for inspection, 9th March and 9am, canberra will be out to check the car out (and workshop?) - supposedly takes up a whole day and almost guaranteed to be discussion items at the end but i've been told it's up to the Engineer to resolve the D.I.'s but via the internet? secure server? So does this mean that the car is no longer required after the inspection day even tho there might be some D.I.'s??

just trying to work out when i can take it..

cheers,

daniel.

If the workshop is already a RAW it takes a day and isnt as hard as doing RAW approval and vehicle inspection at same time as it involves a lot more.

The DI's will be answered by the workshop and engineer with some hard copy documents or via the net, with most engineers packs tight it isnt holding up the approval to much it is more about the workshop and minor mistakes.

Car cant be taken till DI's are cleared and plate fitted to car.

if the DI's are cleared via hard copy or internet, what is the car needed for if they don't come out to check it again? I'm not talking about taking the car for rego, i'm talking about taking the car as soon as it's no longer needed.... i can't see why the car is physically needed if everything is done on the net??

i'm of the understanding the plate will be mailed to be, and i'll organise to put it on.

cheers,

daniel.

is that like full-on regulations? Because they were happy to mail me the plate, and for me to get it fitted. I can't rego it without so there is no reason for me to not put it on, if i sell it i'm stuck with an un-registable car. The last thing i want, i want the bloody thing on the road.

They said they need the space, and would be happy for the car to be gone... if DOTARS has discussion items that don't require the 'physical' re-inspecting of the car... why can't i take it? they're not going to look at it again? and everything is submitted on the internet?

thanks for the help so far... cos i don't really know how this all works...

cheers,

daniel.

ok, inspection done!!! yay! exams passed and only some D.I.'s to take care of..

now, i've been told i can take the car anytime next week but i'm just wondering if anyone (DRIFTT :P) knows how long D.I.'s take usually and how soon can a workshop get their plates? Was the general process from here on in?

cheers,

daniel.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      Coolant leak?

      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?
