Yeah - and they're all "slower" than the Datsun 120Y my mate who worked at McDonalds put together in 1993.

I've been in all of them at speed, and I know which I prefer.

Strange, seems that every single comparison I've read has said otherwise, but to each their own!

Re: Aston DBRS9 - it belongs to Johnny K. His other toys include the R34 Nismo Z-Tune GT-R.

And look - it's a Peteborghini!

Who's Johnny K?!?! Goddamn one lucky bastard. He owns the only Z-Tune in Australia, right? There's a youtube video of that car on the Eastern fwy.

Close call, but i'd still take the Z-tune over the Aston if I could choose one. I'd like to pull more G's than chicks any day :)

I remember reading in a Unique Cars magazine that he also owned a GT2 at one point; he said the Z tune was faster over a longer distance in a straight line if I remember correctly.

spotted a really REALLY nice AUDI R8 on burwood highway today i saw it pass knox. so i thought id turn round to catch up and check it out.. dam it was hot! cept the driver was a wanker loll. he was going up and down burwood highway for a good hour.. so this is what most people with really expensive cars do nowadays to show off there on burwood highway.. lol

...er, there must have been two R8's last night, I drove on Burwood Hwy to go out for dinner, then drove back about 2 hours later, does this make me a wanker ??? I did go Chapel cruising I think that does makes me a wanker :)

All Audi R8s are nice, dude.

And maybe he was test driving it? :)

    • 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?
