Yeah the 350 GT get the 8 Speed CVT Auto box,

Ours is only the "5" Speed Auto.

To anyone thinking of getting one, I cant express my pleasure of this car, best bang for you buck in terms of car for money.

Speak to Nigel if you are intrested in getting one, I am sure he can point you in the right direction

nigel at autowholesale?

I have the 350-GT which is sports pack being normal DIN unit (like ADM cars), dark trim, non electric seats, 3.5 motor and the 6 Speed Getrag box and it goes quite well, GT-8 is quicker bottom end but I like the feel of the manual.

Only manual in WA (as far as I know) and only a couple more in the country if that, in the US manual's are that rare guys convert them from Auto.

Manual 350 GT's are easily costing more on average if you can find them, in the last 3 months their has only been 3 PV35's with the six speed up at auction with two selling, they are about 30% more expensive for a manual compared to a GT-8 going on the last 3 months auction prices.

If they were cheaper their would be more in the country.

What year and model is yours Mike.

HAHAH

True, it is an easy choice, for which one I want to drive, but Auto can be good for those lazy sunday mornings heading out for a coffee or for the paper.

      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?
