You would hate that car if you did the event. The first time you heard it it was tops. After 3 days of hearing it you were just praying it would blow up.

Yeah definately second that. Looked good but that thing blipping the accelerator was deafening. At least he turned it off when waiting. $400K to build though one of the Porsche guys was saying! :rofl:

Jack - the black R32 GT-R from NSW was fastest at Sandown with a 1.20.0.

mmm sweet sentence. the fastest car at a VIC track was a GTR. from NSW. and a 32 no less! giddy up!

congrats to all those out there. especially troy, you did mighty well it seems for someone with a below average IQ... you are pretty good looking though so perhaps the timing guys were kind to you? hehe well done mate. you made 57-1 a reality. good work.

And it was almost a win for me. My plates are BRI-58Y, the NSW GTR had the plates BRI-73Y. His name was Brighty and he was a blood nut to boot...only he could drive and had a quick car :P

man that is creepy. so what you are saying is basically this bloke was a smarter, faster better looking version of you, with enough sense to stay in NSW to boot? damn that hurts.

i still love you troy boy. you can booty call me any time.

Okay here is my rundown of the weekend James style:

- Chris is an absolute legend and we were definately the noisiest people at the dinner presentation on Friday night when he took out three trophys for the quickest times.

- Brisby broke one of Chris' trophys while very drunk and fighting for the front seat of the car with Snowy for their lift home whilst very intoxicated.

- Snowys daughter Keira or Snowflake as adam likes to call her, is the most adorable little girl in the whole wide world.

- Going to the Shepparton Strippers is not advised even if eveyone else is going.

- Driving back from Shepparton I was behind the Z Tuned and a GT2 who decided to have a little bit of fun while driving next to each other on the hume and it was the best thing I saw all weekend!!

- Adam wins everything on style points and had plenty of cheers.

- James enjoyed driving around shepparton while still wearing his stealth race helmet because he forgot his sunglasses and it had a tinted viser.

- No matter what dutton rally organisers tell you it is illegal to wear no number plates during transit stages of the rally, adam and Brisby both got a $120 Fine and three demerit points. We were pulled over for 50 minutes by the Benalla TMU, the organisers were even speaking to him on my mobile phone, but no dice we still got the fine.

- Dutton rally was very Tiring.

- Chris and Snowy were the coolest SAU team (Did we expect anything less!) as they both cleaned up in their class results and the overall results. Well Done Guys!!

- Even though they are the coolest they nealry killed us all at Winton when they pushed the car to extreme limits and my heart certainly stopped for at least three seconds as snowy spun onto the main straight but then put the boot back in to get a killer lap, Chris did the same down the back side of the track. These boys definately drove hard all weekend!!

- I was consistantly placed in the mid field all weekend but I'm just glad i finished. Definately need more track practise before next year.

- Adam got a trohpy for 2nd place in our class and also came 8th overall in the co drivers handicap.

- James did a fantastic job behind the wheel of the Silver bullet, he's never even driven a rear wheel drive before. I wouldn't be suprised if he brings out the cheater EVO for next year.

- Brisby did really well in our class and came in at the front of the field which is great.

- The shepparton barstaff need to realise that fiddy is not a replacement for the word fifty unless you are a nigro rapper.

- SAU events rock, we get so much track time and have so much fun and the motokhanas are much better than some of the dutton ones!

- EVO's are cheater cars.

- Big thanks to Bec and Min for carrying all our crap around, go team SAU Support crew!

- I don't want to think about Dutton again until March next year because i'm too tired.

Thats about it from me.

what happened to the times at Sandown ? Was there a problem with the car?

They claimed it had no pull in 4th and 5th gear????

I thought i easily did a 1:24 as it felt real quick. But i think the 1.5bar meant that combination of dead rear tyres and shagged diff meant i was slow onto the straights and only did a 1:27 :) Now that the event is behind me ive got the sh1ts i didnt get the diff into the car in time :)

And Scotsmans was too lazy to remove my wheels and adjust my handbrake....like he had better things to do :)

ahhh it all makes sense now!!! One of the Gibson Cars?

Yep, it will be so cool if there are 3 GTS-Rs out there :no:

- Dutton rally was very Tiring.

Yeh, im knackered. I dont think i could have done a 4th day. Did you bag the sub 1:30 you were chasing? But more importantly, did you have Top Gun pumping whilst the camera was in the car :(

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      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.

      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?
