Hi all,

New to the forum. I was wondering if someone could help me out. I have a Fujitsubo Giken 5-inch exhaust that used to be on my R33 GTST, it didn't connect to the exhaust manifold of my R34 GT-T and as a result has been sitting here in my room for the past couple months. Its in great condition but is just going to waste here so thought why not see what I can get for it.

Was looking to sell, and was wondering if someone could give a rough estimate of how much I should look to sell it for? I've asked friends who are more 'in-the-know' about car parts etc then I am but they just drew blanks, so hoping someone here would help me get an idea at least? and if possible how much a wreckers would/should give me for it?

I'll be looking to sell it on the forum most likely also, I just didn't want to post it in the Sellers part of the forum yet till I got an idea of a price as I see they ask for all private seller details and an asking price (which I don't have at the moment!)

Any information from anyone would be great whether a PM or a response to the thread.

Thanks in Advance,

Matt

??? Thanks for your input..

If anyone can help out by giving me an approximate price to sell at? whether it be on this forum or just in general? A mate reckons it's worth $1,500.00 second hand but yeah doubt I'll get that so thought if someone on here could give me some recommendations it would be easier to gauge a selling price etc

or should I just try taking it to a wreckers etc and see what they give me for it? (if anything?)

Or if anyone is interested let me know..

Thanks.

your welcome.

general rule of thumb i go by, start at 65% RRP and go from there. If it's in almost new condition, start higher, otherwise 60-65% isn't a bad deal. If it's too much people won't buy it, so you'll have to drop it.

      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?
