Green Light! This Cruise WILL go ahead.

I just checked the rader again and there won't be a problem for us cruising down the gold coast. So, post up if you want to meet!

--------------------------------

I'll be heading out tonight, and thought I'd organise what we did last weekend where we had a pretty good turnout of Skylines, aloing with some other cars.

We'll meet at Springwood Crazy Clarks (Carpark Facing the freeway) and head down to Broadwater Car Park. What we do after that is up to you guys, we can have a chat and see what you want to do. Last time we went up to Tweed Heads so maybe the same thing, or something diffrent.

Should be a good night out, hope to see you all there!

Meeting Place: Springwood Crazy Clarks Car Park (Facing the Freeway)

Meeting Time: 8pm

Departure Time: 8:40pm

So who's in? I'll see you there! Any questions, running late etc give me a call on 0433 63 95 97 :(

Looking on the rader looks like we will get some rain this afternoon, however at the moment, looks like it will be a clear night from around 7ish till late, so don't let the rain we get this afternoon scare you away!

Doesn't look like many people are going, I don't think I'll be heading down. Maybe save this for a Sunday or next weekend.

Sorry guys - If other people want to meet up there, cool as ..but doubt I'll be there :(

    • 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?
