dox ran off with the raffle items and the salad... everyone was left raffle less and salad less. :)

Actually wha happened tot he raffle goodies and the salad?

We all left at 3pm I went to work, 3 of em ih to Altona etc.

i've got the pics on my camera, I'll upload when I get home.

Thik we raised about $220 today.

The meet was great and i have some great pictures to upload (if i could make the size smaller 1Mb per pic :( )

On the dyno day, which hopefully will be happening soon, i will try to bring a set of "wheel weighers" (scales) that are sometimes used by the RTA to weigh trucks, etc. , so that we could weigh and maybe do a suspension ballance on our cars (for those who have coil-overs).

Hope to see you all soon, as well as those that could not make it to this meet.

GREAT freinds, GREAT bbq, GREAT day, Great pics, and a GREAT (but confussing [:) Ash] cruise to Altona.

C ya

hehe hopefully I'll have my car ready for a true dyno run this time. Last time was a 86rwkw with a slipping clutch, black oil and badly untuned :) no CAI. hopefully this time I should go up to about 90rwkw :(

I got pics too... will post shortly... on this thread

Thanks everyone for your help and contributions. We still have all the raffle items - so with just the BBQ, raised a bit over $200!!

Would like to do the raffle before MAS, so stay tuned this week for details. Probably dinner somewhere (pizza) - more fun for the whole family!

Once again - thanks heaps to everyone, and I hope no one got sick from my rather poor burning of the eggs :D

Good effort!

Now we just need to get the cars organised. :uh-huh:

When should we know if we've had any knock backs?

It would be a tad annoying to get cars ready, then find out that they can't be displayed. :D

    • 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?
