damn all these posts have given my lots of flashbacks

so I'll guess I'll add the stuff I also remember,

my first PC when I was 10yrs old - IBM Clone Intel 80286 16Mhz with ultra cool 256 Colour VGA card and 1st ever Creative Soundblaster. :)

Sega GameGear

Nintendo Gameboy (them beige bricks)

NES (them bigger grey bricks with ultra ergonomic gamepads)

Nike Air Jordans (I had a pair of the 7th gen ones cost me like $180 back then)

tv shows like MacGyver, The A-Team, Knightrider, Hardcastle and McCormick, Moonlighting, Remington Steele, The Goodies and the Benny Hill Show.

classic 80's action movies like all those arnie movies like The Terminator, Raw Deal, Commando, Predator, The Running Man and Sly movies like Cobra, Rocky series and Rambo.

don't forget all those b-grade classics like No Retreat, No Surrender, Blood Sport and Kickboxer.

the oldskool performance car seen such as VH Commo's with massive 15inch simmons or hotwires and the dark purple tints.

Actually seeing the Nissan Mid-4 concept car at the 1986 Melbourne motorshow and later on the R32 GT-R at the 1992 motorshow.

being driven around as a kid in my uncles his brand new Nissan Pulsar ET Turbo he just picked up playing euro dance hits like Modern Talking, Paul Lekakis and Sabrina.

thats about all I remember so far from that era. but for some reason I remember the Macca's burgers being bigger and in them Styrofoam containers.

basketball collector cards

video hits on ten from 9am until lunch time

kulcha with their hit "shaka jam"

i never got a sodastream.. mum was a tightass... my neighbours had one though so that was good!.

What about that mr snowy or whatever it was called.. a snowman that you put ice cubes in and it crushed them and then you squrt syrup stuff on it for a icecone / drink thing.. i never got one of those either.. only some dodgy cup you had to put in the freezer and pour drink in wait for the drink to freeze to the sides of the cupthen you had to scrape it off ... eventually it would make a slushy drink.. .. ripped off.

speaking of slushys... can't go past the original slush puppy drinks. I think phillip island is the only place that sells them now.

oh and that 20c red or green cordial you could get from a machine usually outside supermarkets..

Yeah basketball cards were all the rage through primary school:

Fluer

Upperdeck

Hoops

And remember how much they all were in that A'Bekkets magazine or whatever it was? $30US shaq cards, never met anyone who ever actually sold a card for any money though.

And marbles.. until they banned them for causing too many fights and being an "illegal" form of "gambling"

    • 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.
