about a month ago i stacked my GTST 32, me and mate got some quotes and decided to fix the front ourselfs with a halfcut and get the rear end repaired with GTR guards and full spray..alltho we got further into the project last week to find its going to be too much work and cost too much with still at heart knowing its been in a bad way.

here is some progress shots off attempting to straighten the front end, didnt do too bad a job but it got to a point we saw there was way to much bent. Basically we did the sums and its better off purchasing a GTS and doing a complete swap over and selling the left overs from the doner car and my car, getn some new mags and givn the doner car a complete spray.

I have found a car I really want which is ex east and to be able to get it I need my levin to be sold, its on the market but until its sold I sorta gota sit on my hands. But we made a start over the past couple weeks so that is something.

The total overall picture is to purchase a GTS, swap the interior, drivetrain and motor and tein coilies. Then its going to get tinted and some nice 18s slapped on it. But im going to be painting my FMIC black and hiding it a bit and keeping it looking NA. Sleeper is where its at :P

      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?

      What sold me on Trailer Park Boys is this scene: Great stuff, just stay clear from the new Netflix production.
