im getting a pfc but it wont be ready for a month or so yet as its still in the guys car

my question is, will it be safe to prime the oil lines, start the car and bleed the cooling system without the pfc or will the car just overfuel and do damage or something im not talking about driving the car anywhere, just let it sit the and idle while i get the radiator and everything done

worst it would do its foul the plugs. could always go in to the inj/ign section of pfc and temp take some fuel out if it seems like its running real rich. thats what i did when i upgraded injetors to get it down for a tune.

start and flush it before you do the injectors if you don't have the pfc. It'll probably idle with the 555's but it might not and then your stuck waiting for the pfc to arrive before you can do anything.

550cc's... ~33% more fuel.

Wait for the PFC unless you don't mind replacing your plugs. :)

You don't need to start the car to bleed the cooling system.

2ltr coke bottle, chop its bottom off. Bit of suitably sized hose that slides in to the neck of the coke bottle; slightly trim down the hose so that it fits snug in to the neck of the radiator filler.

Turn the ignition key to on; remove the bleed bolt on the plenum; start filling the car up until water is squirting out of the bleed hole; keep the water level in the coke bottle above the plenum. Replace the bleed bolt let it sit a little recrack the bleed again; repeat a few times and the 99% of the air will be removed from the system.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
