haha, that brings back memories. i remember dominos carpark always had the lineup of black 32s, normally yours, that gts-4 with the vented bonnet and sometimes that n/a one. i always parked there to go to the bank and have a sus of the other lines :cool:

cheers man, i always tried to keep the 33 clean i spose. were joel and amandas 33s the burgandy and oranges ones? do i know your roommates?

Ha, of course. I'd hear it pull up or see it on the camera a black 33 in the carpark and it was yours. It was a fine looking line up there for a while, nice photo opportunity. The gts-4 was the other managers and the n/a one was a bit dodgy and he always used to crash it somehow. We had all lanes at shell occupied by 32's once. Good ol' times.

Yeah they were with sinful and sunkist plates. I first saw your's when i was coming out of subway and the look and noise was unbeatable, but anyway.

I think your other half knows her and chats away on msn

lol, i just asked her, it all makes sense now :cool:

back then i had a straight 3.5" from the turbo and jun cannon, it was fairly loud. i remember the gts-4 coming into my old workplace in a rather sorry state. also remember some of the n/a 32s driving was rather exuberant.

anyways i hope u get the 32 back on the road soon man, its sucks when workshops keep putting off your job

Ahh, i rekon she asked you a few skyline related questions. The tone was ideal not so loud it sounded the same through the revvs but the true rb purr, although i haven't heard it full throttle. That the night he careered off the freeway into a tree?? Pretty scary stuff as i was infront, the death of fun. I remember when n/a stacked it into a curb in the wet. It's not a powerful car at all, he just couldn't drivr. I need it back, it's like losing a limb and seeing others drive past just adds insult to injury.

yeah she did, i thought it was rather odd that she wanted to know about hicas and getting through regency haha

yep when he drove it off the freeway, i remember it came in on the tow truck early in the morning and it was stoved hard!

dude 8 weeks is a disgrace!! no place should take that long, especially for a quarter panel.

last year someone reversed into my rear quarter. their insurance took care of it, which meant, f**king around with multiple quotes. waiting on insurance to approve, etc all that BS, instead of a quick cash job, and i had my car back and repaired a month after it happened. mind u, half that time it wasnt even at the crash shop. so only 2 weeks to fix.

and auto salon just passed. 2 days before i had no kit on my car, it didnt fit and no paint. that all came together in 2 days!! 8 weeks is shocking. take ur business else where. i dont see why it would take anywhere longer than 2 weeks.

    • 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.
    • 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?
