hey guys,

first box is made....in my car....needs some further touching up, but overall, im happy with it. looks good... will make up the radiator panel tonight and chuck it on so you guys can see it.

after looking at the engine bay, a similar box around the washer bottle and fuse box would look good. might look into this if anyones interested.

will be down in newy tomorrow. anyone wanna meet up at bar beach...bit after lunch. someone else post up a time...

prices are confirmed

$50 for radiator panel

$100 for airbox.

will take orders tomorrow or email me at [email protected] with your address and whether you have standard i/c piping or a pipe going over the radiator.

cheers guys

Linton

let me know if you guys are gunna be down at the foreshore this weekend. I might come down for a bit.

You should see my car now Linton, with my newly aquired drift damage the front bar is starting to look as ratty as yours :headbang:

And with the airboxes, there's no real rush.

My mate with the 180 says he still might want one, and I discovered he has a piece of thin checker plate bent around where his box would go, would be perfect for getting the size when you get time.

:P

hahaha, GO DRIFT DAMAGE!!!!!!!!! :P what do you mean as ratty as mine?? hahaha....go rattiness!!! i love it!!!

i got pissed off with the wing late one night/early one morning and ended up cracking it and denting the bootlid... its cemented on there, not coming off. gonna have to be good damage to beat that.

ill let you know if im gonna be there.

also, any questions...im on msn.. [email protected]

cheers

HOLY SHITBALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahaha, damn ian, thats rough. panel damage is one thing...but once you hit a suspension component....it goes to the next level...

id get my car towed before i ever put the space saver on too. haha, i love it, thats awesome.

Haha....

I drove around for two days like that too!

Luckily its only 5 mins to work though.

Got the rim fixed, and it looks ****ing sweet! I love not having chromies!

Fixed the control arm today too, now I just gotta get a re-alignment, and get out the fiberglass repair kit and she'll be sweet :headspin:

ok guys....ive had a breakthrough....i got the airbox out of my car...things are all go. getting aluminium on thursday...gonna drill into em and get heaps done. got some guys that have defects to clear so they will be first in line...jeez im a nice guy.

looking at around $100 for the boxes.... will also be further modifying these down the line...which will equal a price rise, but more on that later.

not sure if a 33 box will fit in a 32...but we'll have a look.

cheers

any chance of pics?

i was going to make one for my pod when it arrives from japan, but if i become very lazy i might just buy one off you :D

does it provide a good seal? how are the bends in the aluminum and how are pieces joined together?

pics would probably explain all these questions anyway.

the aluminium is bent in a metal bender... it provides a near complete seal... box and lid are joined by allen head bolts... im currently setting up a website, so no pics yet.

give me your email and ill send you some pics.

cheers

    • 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?
