Stolen! It has never been registered!! It just got off a boat from Japan and it couldn't get on that boat if it was stolen (de-registration papers) so yes, waste of time!

Nice work RTA!

Agreed!

all did not go well on tuesday...however, i put in the 500HP fuel pump, and am putting the new platinum spark plugs in tomorrow morning. if all goes well, it will be rego'd on monday

CAR IS RUNNING!!!

fuel pump was almost dead ie not flowing enough,

and the major problem was a relay on the ignition coil circuit decided to croak it.

...makes it hard to diagnose the problem without a wiring diagram.

but the most important part of all is... its all systems go for rego on monday!

i put the walbro 255L/hr pump in, it was similar to the factory pump other than the one end which had the hose and the plug positions swapped around.

still managed to secure all of the clips in the cradle it sits in, other than one of them.

yeah car is registered, and constantly being driven :D

i sure am going through a lot of fuel... ill let everyone know how many k's i get out of the first tank in the petrol thread.

my stagea no longer has a camo front bar :):):)

ill change the pic in my signature whenever i get around to it :P

i picked it up yesterday from the smash repairers.

i also forwarded both of the invoices for repair/painting of my front bar to KIPS and i got an email back saying that they will pay me next week WOOHOO!!!!

  • 1 month later...

well its taken ages but i finally got the money from the insurance claim through KIPS today, i was beginning to get a bit worried for a while there, i didnt want to have to cop the $900 repair bill.

God Damn - Im so stoked that I havent had ANY troubles whatsoever with my Stagea (well, besides dills drilling into my wiring loom when the cdstacker was installed under the passeneger front seat).

touch wood hey! :P

    • 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?
