why do you need to change the front bar and re-compliance you haven't swapped engines if its complied already then leave it if not don't put turbo on wait till its complied

you wont need a new front bar just because you got a turbo installed

but you will want to think about

5stud conversion - for larger choise of rims

GTSt brake conversion - for better stopping

na just make sure its all done good if you ever get pull over only have factory blow off valve make sure POD filter is very secure make it LOOK stock standard and its all good 90% of skylines are turbo (well maybe not that high but very high) so if you do get pulled over chances are they wont know your model isnt

also turbo or not you pay the same for registration

You will have a LOT of trouble insuring a non-turbo car that has been turbo'd. And you have massive costs including injectors, ECU, wiring loom etc etc. Just not worth the effort. Sell it, and buy a Gtst.

Who are you with Steve?

Yeah I guess if it states it on the insurance form then they have no come-back against you.

I would suggest you are with the only insurer who will do it, as I know most won't touch such a car. Until very recently you had ordinary non-turbo brakes and discs trying to stop a high-powered turbo car .... not sure I would like to be insuring you when that was the case ;)

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      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?
