Congrats. That's fantastic news. The only person happier than you would be your dad I'm guessing.

Are you guy's coming to SA for the Skyline Nationals?

If you don't mind me asking, who bought the 31?

Cheers

yeh pretty sure we will be there.....Terry will have his R32 there as well and Caz with her DR30....not sure about the R31 yet.

Local Sydney buyer.......does not post on here.....his a car fanatic so the car should be kept pretty much how we kept it.....he plans on racing it as well which is a big plus.

It's great to know the GIO car has been retained in good hands and will see some track action. I was due to fly down and go to the PI Historics but the arrival of a first born focusses priorities somewhat.... Nonetheless, it'll be great seeing the GIO car out on track again. Congrats on the purchase! :)

So he new owner of the 31 is the current owner of the Sizzler car....which are for sale ????

The owner of the Sizzler car(Chris Larrosa for now :P ) owns the last of the R31's as well. Our 31 has gone to a guy by the name of Cary Mc??????. Should have his first race at Lakeside.

FYI, Lakeside should be getting the Winfield and GIO R32, R31, DR30( :cool: ) and possibly the Bluebird this year.

I heard it reported that Terry thought AUD$2.5 million was what the #1 Winfield was worth to him due to the car's notoriety as well as success as a Bathurst winner. Doesn't matter how much it may or may nnot worth - the car is irreplaceable (as are all Bathurst winners) and I'd never have enough money to prise it out of his ownership anyway! The GIO car was on ebay before it was bought by Jetwreck. I hope he got the GIO 'transporter' as part of the price because from memory, the transporter was not going to be let go as part of the cost, but required extra.

Mate I don't own it.....sort of......Dad has the title atm....sort of......but if he met with a sudden accident :( ....lol......I just get to look after, work on and race the toy's with him.....sort of a father son thing(yes we are both absolute car nuts).

This year though it looks like I will be racing the DR30 for an investor....still pinching myself on that one.

The price of the GIO car was about half way to a 7 figure digit with a brand new crate motor and crate gearbox with transfer case plus a whole load of other spares. We set up the sale of his transporter and tow car to the new owner of our old R31(I am going to miss the R31 :( )so we didn't have to take that.

As for the price of the #5 GMS R32....I guess that comes down to if Terry Ashwood wanted to sell it....atm moment he doesn't so the price would be quite high.

I envy your position...your family is sooo lucky to own such a piece of history :(

1 of my mates who is a mechanic @ at bmw knows of a guy who owns a r32gtr, I think he said it was a pace car painted red and the guy lives in bowral, loves his piss and in his 60's (maybe this is you dad)?

He parks the thing under a carport as he has no space

      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.

      RB25 Drama's

      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?
