Was thinking last night with all the money we spend on our cars it would be really good if we could help each other out financially.

Now personally i'm a fully trade qualified boilermaker/Welder and could probably help some of you guys out with welding up smallish jobs (don't necessarily have to be to do with your car)

So if you work with computer gear and can get that cheap or maybe a tyre place cause we all need tyres, whatever you think you can possibly help someone else out with please post it in this thread and hopefully we can get this thread stickied if everyone thinks its a good idea!

EDITED BY CUBES:

This is an awesome idea.

Keep it on topic and no requests as requests are pointless. Simply state what you can do for others. :wave:

At the request of some forum members I have gone through this thread with the edit brush - trimming the chat and so forth. Please keep any questions/requests to PM

I'm a website developer + graphic designer, can do a good price on that sort of thing. :dry:

Also can provide almost any jaycar product very cheaply (and even cheaper for group buys).

Can't really help anyone out with my day job however I am also able to help out with specialist print jobs.

My printer allows me to print in the usual black, cyan, magenta and yellow. As well as silver and white and soon will buy some cartridges to allow me to print in Gold, and chrome colours.

So if you need anything printed (small quantities) I will do it for a couple of dollars (as the ink is expensive)

I am an assistant manager in a hardware store. Can also look after fellow skyliner's with maybe 10% discount on general hardeware. Also trade quantities of timber for pergola's or deck's etc. :thumbsup:

I’m a full time software engineer, so basically anything you want done to a PC I can do it...even turn it onto a beer fridge! Something like this: beer PC :P

I don’t know how much I can help out in general but I MIGHT be able to score cheap hosting, and of course anything to do with software you want done/fixed/made..., I’m your man.

Also good quality two way paging car alarm systems fully installed I can help you out, PM me!!

Johnn, are you any good with or know someone who is profficient in MS Access?

I have a little relational database thats got me stumped. I thought my skills were OK, but this one got a bit difficult.

PS I teach at the Womens and Childrens Hospital, and look after the network for the school. If anyone needs some IT advice I am happy to help where I can. I also have some wholesale access to parts and systems through Protech. (can save you a few dollars on an upgrade or system)

I'm an electronics technican myself too, but I also used to do work that specialised in EFI & Ignition systems for 2 years as well as other stuff. I tested & fixed literally hundreds of ignition systems & engine computers injectors etc.

I don't have all the equipment to do all the work myself & admittedly most of this work was done off of the car, but I do have a good handle on the spanner work, do all my own servicing & have fixed friends cars on several occasions. My car hasn't seen a service centre since I bought it a year & a half ago.

I can do a lot of diagnosis work which I could do at a fraction of the cost that an Auto Electrican would charge & can probably sorce some parts at a decent price too. Auto electricans & mechanics would come to us, buy something or get something fixed & put their cut on before selling it to the customer & half the time we figured out the problem for them over the phone!!!

Advice on here I'll do for zip provided it doesn't get too complex :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?
