Not having my car back for 9 weeks on what should be a 2 week job. And that in fact does grind my gears because I have to drive my bush bashing patrol, and I believe there's some sort of unnatural grinding going on somewhere in that thing.

f**k me its obviously not a good week to try and get yardwork done at the family ranch

:rant:

coming around a corner having right of way and doing the speed limit to almost be t boned by some dick head in a Toyota black trying to cut in. now this wasn't the worst bit, i had to swerve and gas it to avoid getting hit and i then quickly forgot about it the guy behind me didn't he went and stayed up my ass so i slowed down 20km for a bit and then went back up to the speed limit and he was back up my ass so i slowed down 40km and sped up with the same result i then slowed down to 10km a crawled all the way up the road :laugh:

getting the flipped the bird for overtaking in the most safes possible manner. waited for the road to open up to 2 lanes then changes lanes and slowly got up to the speed limit and over took (i was driving jimmy so i couldn't accelerate fast :P )

some dick trying to steal my car. he was wearing no shoes at 1am, i chased him off and called the cops but they couldn't or wouldn't do anything

poor ass signage for road works

city to surf detour that went to a dead end forcing me to add 10km to my drive home and i wanted to go to sleep from working a night shift :mage:

inconsiderate arseholes who walk through the city under the shelter of the shop fronts without folding their f**king umbrellas.

OMG: biggest piss off at the moment:

I work for an internet company:

customer: 'do you sell internet?'

NO! i sell cheese!

Morons.

+1, used to work in a taxi call centre during the late arvo to night, worst job ever BTW.

People call up and get through after being on hold for a while and having some stupid waiting thing repeating something along the lines of...

"Welcome to Swan Taxi's blah blah blah..., make sure you have you're full pick up address ready... etc."

Then the idiot asks "uuuuuhhhh can I like get a taxi?

: | "Alright what's the pick up address?"

Hear in the background " Oi, Name(other more sober and less annoying person) what's this address?"

OMFG I'M KILL YOU DEAD. Instantly hang up, about to explode with rage, answer next call and repeat.

Luckily due to my love for the job, work ethic and outstanding attendance record I now work elsewhere. thumbsup.gif

f**k sake people having a baby takes it out of you and learning to feed is not easy with people watching

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
