Hi Guys,

Can someone quickly name what this arm is? (As you can clearly see, my bushes have let go)

Also, does anyone know the part number for replacement of the arm or can the the bushes themselves be replaced?

Thanks Gary, PM Sent.

Are these bushes easy to replace yourself or would it be better for a Steering/Suspension place to do it.

I have a fair bit of experience working on cars (a lot of engine/driveline swaps etc) and general maintenance, just new to the skyline body..

You need a press to remove the old standard rubber bushes, around 20 tonnes is plenty. Plus it will need a wheel alignment when it is finished. Some guys take the radius rods out themselves and pop around to their local workshop for the pressing. They usually charge $50 or so, then fairly soon after fitment you should take the car for an alignment to set the caster and then reset the toe as it will be out.

As from next week we will have exchange arms (front and rear for R32's and R33/34's for 2wd and 4wd). I will be making up a Group Buy shortly, the arms/rods are media blasted, crack tested, powder coated gloss black and have new adjustable bushes fitted. So all you do is swap them over, it's a 1 hour or so DIY job, and then get the car aligned. The front caster rods are $250 for the pair and you get $50 back when you return the original ones from your car. The refurbished arms come with a StarTrack express con note attached, just pop the old ones in the box and call the phone number for pick up.

Cheers

Gary

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      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.

      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?
