which route are you taking to bribie, straight up the hway, or another way. im in for this. also have another who will be coming with aswell. so add 2 more cars.

Apparently there is one way...

the only reason im asking is, since i live on the sunshine coast do i have to travel all the way to nudgee shell to drive all the way back to bribie island, kinda doesnt make sense really. but if every1 is coming up the bruce hway then i can just tag along on the way.

A few of us living at Morayfield and Caboolture will be doing a similar thing. We are planning to meet up at the BP Northbound and then wait for a phone call when the main group of cars will be driving through. I guess all we really need is some confirmation of times of when and where people will be?

There won't be any need for the main group to stop or anything, we can just tack on as they drive by. :laugh:

we'll probably pull in to re group

ok R34GTX what time you guys meeting at the BP and me and the miss's will see you there

Well, if the departure time from Nudgee is to be 8:00am (probably later anyway) then I guess it would take the crew about 30 minutes to get to BP Morayfield, maybe longer due to holiday traffic.

SO I was thinking of being at the Morayfield Northbound BP anytime after 8:00am but no later than 8:30 incase the guys get a good run and everything runs ontime........which I highly doubt. Gives us time to get some quick munchies etc.

Yes, there is plenty of parking out the exit side of the BP in the car park(as you leave to go back on the highway). I will be waiting in that area.

See you all there

Peter

Thats about 30 cars now.

How about some more of you elite gtr drivers who seem to love your north bound cruises come along? :rofl:

I think I speak for most of us elitists :rofl: when i say we prefer roads with corners (and sometimes cows :D ) rather than a drive up the highway. :laugh:

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • 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?
