Hey NismoGirl, your car is sexy as!

its at Gavin Wood Auto Tech isent it? :)

i saw it tonight... they are installing my new crossmember tomorow... i noticed your car from the bigining of the number plate (MS) and rememberd you getting it serviced there and it looked like your car so i wonderd... maybe you will see my baby tomorow or did you see it tonight?

meh... byes all :burnout:

My car wont be ready for a while.

Depends on how long it takes me to get the money together to get it. It definetly wont be tomorrow but.

The car hasn't been washed for like 2/3 weeks (i was very ashamed giving it to gavin like that) But I gather that its going to be safer in his garage than sitting in my driveway!

this is completely offtopic, but does this gavin wood fella do roadworthy/safety certificates?

i just jumped in my car to get some petrol and i noticed my rego is due to expire on sunday and the rta didnt even send me out a renewal notice! :D

the rego needs to be converted from nsw rego to qld rego, so i figure i need a certificate of some sort. does anybody know of any workshops/certificate issuers that are lenient on modified cars :(

00 motorsport lives on.

Spoke to Steve today, albeit very briefly as I was busy at work.

How is a Thursday night for everyone. Start at 6pm (latecomers welcome) have a bit of a bbq - sangers in bread - and some drinks.?????

erin - i will ask friday, sorry i did not get a chance.

    • 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?
