I just can't see a manufacturer saying .... Ok lets install some blanking plates through our cars in case the people that would like to purchase them want top install aftermarket switches....

Hmmmm your probably right but the switch just looks so factory its not funny.

never stopped us talking about it before haha

yeah i got blanking plates in my car - but ive been in other skylines and where i have blanking plates they have things - where i have buttons they have a blank spot - all they do is produce the base model then install the switches according to whether its Vspec, Manual, Auto etc :) So where u have a blank spot - on another model it aint blank :D

i'll do the washing but stuff the ironing :D ex always had a bit of trouble getting me up at 7am in the morning to iron his shirt - always greeted back with a "f off if u were dumb enough not to ask me last night it aint going to happen this morning" haha

Troy, I was impressed to see you working on Micko's car the other day, never seen you get your hands dirty before:p

pulling pipes off and afm's etc i've done b4 so seeing micko was sort of grieving even though he had this big grin on his face, and the fact i'd have to leave early i did my bit :D

    • 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?
