stickers are ready!

i have attached a pic of the produced stickers as sent to me form Dave (the guy who had them made for us).

i have not been able to do a second test of the stickers as i am going away on holidays next week and won't get them in time to do a test.

but.. the guy has 10 sets and it looks like he will put them up on eBay when he can. i will post a link to the eBay page when its up.

they look good in the photos and he has changed the finish to matte and the colour to match our buttons :)

I have a black interior, I'll take one set of stickers - How much will they cost?

(apologies if I missed a thread that detailed the cost)

Merry Christmas,

Vic

just to update and remind everyone

this is NOT a group buy, you cannot order these sets from me. i am helping the guy who makes them with the design, he will be selling them from eBay when they are done

i recieved the latest test batch, and installed them.

the sizes are still a little bit short on some buttons and the colour is not 100% perfect, but a final set is being made to get these little points right.

i have attached photo's of how the last batch looks.

i would expect a couple of weeks and they will be ready to go and for sale on eBay. i will post the link when its available.

just a reminder to all those who did not read the whole thread but are posting that they want to buy a set

1) the sets are being developed, will be a couple of weeks to get the colour/finish/sizing perfect

2) when they are ready i will send YOU a PM telling you

3) i will send and post up a link to the eBay page where they will be sold from

thanks,

Warren

i forgot to mention.. the bottom buttons will most likely be the same size as the top buttons and will have to be trimmed to fit so that they are not too small.

also you can see that the buttons are too grey now, will be changed to black with a matte finish

i also posted a pic with the lights on to show that light does come through

if this guy is in perth why doesnt someone from perth go to meet him and give him the shape of the buttons exactly.. and then he can sell them as a perfect overlay.

i dont have a v35 otherwise i would have already volunteered

ok i recieved an email today from the guy, and they are ready for sale.

now as i mentioned they are not all the right size, but can be trimmed with scissors to fit perfectly.

on the issue of colour, apparently the only way to get them to be durable and UV protecting is to have them the gloss colour, which is what has been done by the guy. i think it looks better than the matte finish which looked more like a dark grey than black.

they are $18 + $1 postage and available on eBay:

can i iterate that i have nothing to do with their sale or distribution i am essentially a middle man that is facilitating the seller to get the information to make these. he has mad ethem and is selling them himself.

anyone that wants a set feel free to log onto eBay and purchase or ask the seller any questions if they need any further information

cheers,

Warren

    • 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?
