Man the Supra is such a nice car - anyone whos driven it will agree, but yeah its got nothing on the GTR :D

my current tally is 1 broken, 1 not broken. can add one sold to that. and one stolen. nasty. but un-like some who shall not be named, mine don't stay broken for long... :ermm:

5 weeks down on my Skyline and the only "off roading" it has done was through some road works making it nice and dirty :rofl:

My Skyline was off the road from a week in between I paid the deposit and paid for the rest of the car, needed complaince, blue slip, rego ect...

But none of these count now do they :ermm:

R32 Broken engine, Broken turbo, Broken Clutch, failed fuel pump, failed center bearing, broken coolant line to turbo

R33 Broken suspension, Broken Clutch, Broken Engine

Wooo its been a good year for me lol

Mines got a blown turbo, Faulty turbo after not even 3 months being in the car... compressor seal shit itself ramming wheel into housing...

Im hoping that the highflower of the turbo gets back to me quickly as its just sitting in the driveway collecting dust...

Stagea FTW!!!!111!!!!11ty!!!

Mine's been off the road for a few days here and there because I HAVEN'T DRIVEN IT ANYWHERE!!!

So far so good, the only thing that's happened is when I blew the turbo not long after I bought it, which is closing in on 2yrs ago now.

Hoping to have some things done to it this week, so it'll likely be off the road and NOT at home for maybe a few days.

Lots of broken 'lines. I guess they're getting on in years, and this year has just been unlucky. I'm sure there are more of you out there :(

Another reason why someone should buy mine.... she's a very happy sort and gives me nothing but good times

I LOVE THIS CAR!

Mine's been perfect so far this year........damn i love my car, very reliable.

Having just said that, I'm sure something is going bang tomorrow.

    • 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?
