I was just thinking about making a new section about peoples builds. Basically it can be split into sections for different skyline models and then the other section.

Each user can only get one thread that he/she can update from time to time as his/her car progresses. Then people can leave feedback in the thread on what they think.

Don't know if this has been suggested before, but it will be a cool way to show what everyone is doing with their cars.

I am actually looking at building a 'garage' module for people to add their cars, pics, mods, write ups, experiences etc... So they are all in one place and not in 1000 different threads. Maybe this would be good enough for what you are thinking of?

I was just thinking more people will be open to the idea of posting something. In the FI section, people who show builds generally show major engine overhauls. This section would be for everything. That way, people who want to just say, "look, I've put on a bodykit, my car looks awesome, even though its stock" will feel they can

I was thinking, for my car for example, I will be working on it over two years or so. This will include things like bodykit, suspension, stereo, engine etc. Instead of putting a thread in the suspension section saying, "check out my suspension", a thread in the stereo section saying, "check out my stereo" and then a thread in the FI section etc etc.

Why not have one thread saying, "have a look what I've done to my car this time". Each member only gets one thread that will get bumped when they add something new.

Prank, checkout how "bodyspace" works on bodybuilding.com. It sounds like, what your talking about.

Yeah thats exactly what I have in mind. There is a third-party addon for Invision that will do what we want, I'll sort it out with the next upgrade (very soon).

    • 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?
