and I agree with discussion. that said there are things best left unposted. I get enough questions on these cars as it is and 90% of them are not on this forum.

in regard to your original problem if you have a autowatch 573 tag on your key then the antenna for it is in the wrong spot causing your car to see TWO keys and then the NATS 5 system tossing the main key out for that round.. that is the reason I wanted to see the car. out of curiosity what do you do for a living?

good stick to doing that :) you can see what I do for a living and I'm fairly sure you do not tell all your tricks to everyone - nor do I.

when you open a post with a name calling( which an apology was issued on ) it doesn't sit well with others. if you had been nice about things in the beginning I probably would have helped you straight away.

(/soapbox)

now that this has been said - back to what we are talking about.

Sounds like I really got to you Chris, you need to loosen up. And you are totally wrong about me not giving my 'trade secrets' away. If I can help someone with an IT problem, as long as its a fairly quick solution like my NATS problem, then I'll tell them. Lets face it, you aren't going to get rich from helping people reposition an antenna, but you're trying thats for sure, especially with the prices you charge just to hook up a gps to the aux input.

Have a look at one of my other posts, I have found a way to get the CVT oil into Australia at a vastly cheaper way than anyone else and I'm offering to help others that want it, not keeping that little 'trade secret' to myself.

And since when did we start wrapping people up in cotton wool? I've heard 5yr olds call someone a name that was far worse than 'Captain Obvious', don't tell me I've scarred Stephen for life after that, haha

Last time I checked, this is a forum and its open for people to give opinions, and thats what I gave Stephen, what you gave me, and this is my final opinion on this subject.

we'll agree to disagree then. I'll leave it at that.

there are people here that have a lot more knowledge than you or I combined on these - they don't post it here.

I run a business as you know and I do not use a aux in for navi other things - yes.

So is this issue now fixed?

Did you get the right answer?

and no, comments or name calling does not scar me...

Yeah Chris decided to front up with the info so all good.

Anyway, I've moved on from you, don't you know humour when you read it? This relationship we had is over, you can stop posting in my topic now :thumbsup:

    • 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?
