I don't think I have seen a white R32 around how long have you had it? I go past the Soarer and Supra every morning as well I'm usally driving the Yellow Mazda with the really loud exhaust.

Good to hear you get your License back, I've heard that some brissy cops are up here teaching ours how to use the new DB meter, bit of a blitz going on.

I heard a little story a while ago that someone went to Rocky I think, to pick up there R32 GTR and on the way home it burst into flames. I'm not to sure what happened just heard the story, has anyone in Central Highlands heard this?

Hey Mega GTS-4... that thing sounds really cool...

are you happy with then end result or are you going to keep modifying the RB26...

I think it is a great way of getting a GTR... and because it is all it a GTS body everyone thinks it is just another skyline... little do they know...

The other good thing happening at the moment is the 88-89 R32 GTR's that are available from many importers cheap... particularly prestige motorsport or the likes... I was thinking that a cheap R32 that had a big list of mods would be really cool... even if it came over and the RB26 had some serious issues with blowby and the like... perfect time to build a RB30 bottom end... massive horsepower and a 4WD... I like the sound of that... maybe it is time to sell the old Q with Boost... although it has been a faithful rig and I would like to get it down to the 12's before reassigning it too light track duties... (I love the Clubsprint Meets at Ipswich)

anyway I hope you guys are all running at the 16th... and if not atleast come and say Hi...

there is a grey 32 gtr in emerald..gary currie, sparky at kestrel,drives like a girl and won't race me.(hope he is reading)

Joe biddle owns th torana i think.

Hi Rick, I've seen the Grey GTR a couple of times usually just putting around but I haven’t seen it for a while now.

The story I heard was supposably that the Sky that caught a light was only just bought.

No sorry I don't know peter tease and wazza, I get my fuel from Shell for both my cars, I think I'm a bit of a hermit.:)

Shawn.

that car that burst into flames was an R33. He was from Blackwater I believe. There is a pretty bombed R33 at blackwater too we had a look at it the other week it was in at Garths shop getting some work done on it. Appreantly it was one of the first R33 to be imported to australia (been here since 1995).

We also have 3 red 300zxTT's 2 seaters here. 2 0f i know have been to Willowbank 1 has run a best of 12.56 the other 13.8 & the 3rd one is owned by a old dude that wouldn't race it. At one stage there was 5 red ones here but one has gone to St George & the other went back to Brisbane.

    • 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?
