similar thing happend to me last sunday when i was parked on side street while i was at the pa hospital. come back to the car to find a note and that i had been reversed into with a nice towball punch in my front bar. however they did leave a contact number. which i thought was very unusual these days as the last car i saw with a note on it said "hey mate i hit your car but you can go get f&*(ed". i got some quotes but they only seemed to offer me after market front bars and i rather like the one i have. so i spoke to a mates old man and for half the price of a new one i can fix my bar and she is paying for it. works out well as i can fix the other part of it that was driveway damaged as well.

but as far as for where to park look for other skylines. if i see a park next to another one i dont care how far i have to walk at least i know they wont go bangin into me. (well thats the hope anyways)

I was lucky to find one hidden in a shed. It's been there for over 10 years now, without being driven, and has less than 50k on the clock. I've convinced the guy who's been hoarding it to part with it (less than 10g). I know I've got a bit of work to do to get it back on the road, with replacing seals/rubbers/oils etc, but it'll be fun. :D

Lucky you man...All the Turbo Cosworths that I have seen are fetching more than most R32 GTR's.. Have a look on Carsales...One in vic asking 49K for it

It's not the Cosworth, the Cosworth has a modified head to give it more power. This one's a standard turbo XR4 model, that looks like a Cosworth.

On another note, I saw some nice looking Skylines on the Sunshine Coast over the last two days! And not one new dent on the R33!

      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?
