welcome Slayer. I hope you find the info' you need on here! Friendship seems to come along with owning a Skyline,so get used to waving to feloow Nissan owners. When it comes time to get serious about trackwork,there's a few of us on here with some tips. Frink is one to talk to;33 owner,and CAN steer a car to a fast lap or ten!

Hi guys. thanks for all the welcome messages. Havent been on for a week or so as flat out with work and was sick.

in response to all the comments i'll try to answer all here.

firstly, the wombat accident in my crx. I was lucky in that i swerved the wombat, but i ended up on gravel and it was all over from there. the car slammed into an embankment on cotter road, and spun around slamming into the embankment again. front bar was missing, engine mounts broken, oil everywhere, exhaust damaged, doors not opening smoothly, all 4 tyres off the rims (loved those tyres - Ventus k104s) and back left half axel was bent/snapped... wasnt fun.

i'm used to having people with the same car as me just stopping to have a chat or flagging me over as the crx community is very small and close-knit, so i am glad to hear that skyline people have the same attitude - makes the car scene so much more enjoyable and social.

for street use i would like 18s probably, but don't want heavy wheels for track days so i'll keep stock rims for that i guess and put some sort of slicks (semis) on them. I love the final konnexion kit, but the fact it is for the series 1 makes me question if it will fit my s2???

tinting, wheels and kit will be the extent of the visual stuff... after that i want power as mine feels slow now i'm used to it

      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?
