Yeah.. we just put the old pipe back on. It ran like sh*t for about 30 minutes after that but we took it for a squirt around the local streets..

I am taking the car down to the mechanics tomorrow to get it taken off properly. And to get numerous other things fixed.

So if its not running right.. its then not my fault :)

210km/h indicated in a soft top capri turbo BLOODY noisy as one would imagine due to the wind noise, mirrors vibrating etc but wasn't fully wound out think was doing 6000rpm rev limiter @6800 o and obviously this was on a private racetrack cause we all know that it is illegal to do that on the main roads! mates zcar has hit 246km/h not fully wound out due to having to get on the brakes when he caught up to a truck on a hill!

210+ in a suzuki swift GTi, was tracking all over the road pretty badly. I guess the guy who owned it before me and dropped the height by cutting the springs wasn't going for the whole 200+ idea. Dam Qik can confirm this, as he overtook me, I think he was doing around 250 or so. Anyway looked hell cool as he went past

I got my skyline up to 190 45mins after picking it up. Can't wait to cut that pesky little wire, or at least put in a toggle switch.

I don't know about you other guys, but **** "private" roads this was on a public road at 3am in the morning. Good old Bruce Highway.

Haven't done a quarter mile yet, got a few bugs to iron out before I give it a eal good hammering

Official top speed is 260km/h the needle just touched the pin at 0 and I worked out that this is about 260km/h.

Fastest 1/4 13.7

Closest miss....Slowing from 220km/h on a "Private" Country road and my rear tyre blew at 180km/h. Didn't notice till much slower and I tried to take a medium corner and the back end felt like jelly. It was at this point that I found that I could get a jack under my car cause it was too low.

Later at the tyre shop the guy looked at it and asked how fast I was going....I just smiled and he informed me that the crap tyres (his words) were only rated to 160km/h. I nearly died.

I have done 210 (half my heart rate) in my falcon with the first part down a hill to get the speed up, They feel like boats at 100. Not much fun at 210. They also dont brake too good, a whole lotta brake fade from 160+.

Also done 200 in the same car up the Hume on a lazy sunday.

    • 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?
