Ohh and btw , I got the standing ovation tonight in the T*** place circle work . I am sure you know where I mean , just up from the place you frequent.

Got it to do a rotate on the spot 4wd donut. Needed the wet rd to keep it going.

phuck , I damn near passed out with the g force.

Now I know what the WRC cars at forrest place must have felt like in the old days of victory donuts. Hehehe

Cheers

So the ricer is going already:( It will give you money to buy another:D

Nope , with the changes in the rules ie. no one is complying R32's and the uncertainty of the 15 yr old , I will wait for a while and see what happens.

Cheers

Ken, I think my ring-lands have gone, will do a compression test on the weekend, see if it shows anything. But I drive sensibly too, don't know how it could happen:D

Yea , it seems to blow smoke on over run which means the vacuum could be drawing the oil up past the rings on overrun.

Could also mean that only your oil control rings are gone and the compression could be fine.

Ken, let me know when your doing it and I'll pop down, I'm just around the corner:D

Wondered why Danny has so many fried tyres:p

they normally stay out of that street but hear them rip up and down past there shop.

It is usually only a spur of the moment thing.

Any , I'm off cos the missus has just slammmmmmed the door which is a hint.:(

Oil control rings? Are they the second lot of rings on the piston? Is it bad? Should I put the forgies in sooner or later?

Nope , there usually the third set and are two thin rings with a wavy scraper thing. Not a real problem cos oil is cheap but it is telling you that the engine is getting tired. More boost and bigger terbs will kill it quick which is why I might as well get it done on mine now.

That and r and r the engine is like an 8 hr job.

Also finally found out mine has a nismo sprung twin plate and is in good nick so that's a bonus.

I know people with cars in Japan waiting to come over when there 15yo, they could get screwed badly:(

Yep your right , might have bought a very expensive half cut.

And I will hi to the missus for you cos I'm blaming you for me still being up.:(

Wait till she sees you at Albany.lol

Cheers

    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • 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.
