i wash my car every week, so i dont mind meeting up each time :P

Need to pick a larger carwash though, if anyone has any suggestions post them up.

There's one i use in ferntree gully, which allows buckets during offpeak times and has about 4-5 bays. Usually empty. Although bit far away from the noble park/dande folks :)

Post up some suggestions!

me and monkey took some great shots in the city (when i had my povo 2mp)... on that bridge going over to the telstra dome with all the lights... looked awesome... theres also that smoke stack thing (big red building) for the tunnel... awesome spot for photos and of course the banks of the yarra with the city in the background... some factory/industrial areas would.

if its in a month or 2 and my cars done i'll come with the SLR and take some nice shots.

hehe didn't we break into that school along the yarra to get photos of our R32's? and then my immobiliser screwed up and we had to push start it. ahh good times. that was like 5 years ago... with Ulah and his GTR!

Actually if we go before then, can I borrow your SLR?

yeah thats the time... i had to farkin work the next morning but being the nice guy i am waited til like 2 or 3am til you got it fixed... was fun actually :( Didnt you wake Danny up for it or something? and it was just something stupid like you had it in the wrong mode? i lost all those pics in my last HDD death :)

if you go before then you can just come pick me up

cars are looking nice, which car wash was this again? not sure if i could got to a car wash meet, i take aaages to wash the car. People would probably think i'm OC if they saw me wash my car :D (damn it Final Inspection! :()

kryzsiu, car's looking good, would be nice just to top it off with some AVS Model 5's :D

    • 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?
