Why increase the braking capacity of a vehicle that is still being driven on the road? You haven't increased the mass that needs to be decelerated (rb20det is going to be less then a passenger's weight difference in mass from the rb30e), nor have you increased the velocity of which you are decelerating from (if you have, you are speeding, and you shouldn't be).

AND, if you are putting yourself into situations on public roads that require better braking capacity then standard. Hurry up and get it over with so that you don't continue to drive on the road.

$3k budget is optimistic, good luck, if you make it with results that haven't already been proven, please take the time to make a detailed post of how you achieved it.

Dsturbd, if you are so adamant about people upgrading brakes before motors.... why do you allow yourself to sell motors to people who haven't?

lol, get off your high horse.

why did you have a 228rwhp r32 then? you don't need 228rwhp to drive around on the street.

ps, go explain your 'theory' to an engineer, they will likely tell you to upgrade your brakes. (much like the ADR's mention if you increase engine size/power, you need to use the brakes that came on the car with that engine.)

bit ironic about the pot calling the kettle black, eh?

I made a 228rwhp skyline because i wanted to do it for the experience so that i can be a keyboard warrior in threads like these when people pipe up their internet opinions.

So by applying YOUR 'theory' in a literal sense, any performance modification to an engine must be coupled with performance modification to the decelerating system...

if you increase engine size/power, you need to use the brakes that came on the car with that engine

Watch out boys, if you don't upgrade the brakes after installing a POD filter, Mitchy will report your dangerous ass to the ADR body.

PS, Mitchy, why did you do fully sick hecktic burnouts in the car you only JUST bought, (on public roads to boot), then place it for sale after wards? Hmm, shall i find a nice .jpg for you aswell ?

i fail to see what i do after i buy a car, and when i choose to sell it has to do with upgrading engines and brakes, but go for your life champ, i wouldn't mind a good burnout picture. (obviously it has my number plates, etc in it to prove it was me, and on a public road like you claim?)

and hey.. its not my 'theory', its the ADRs, and i dont write them...

hey boys cmon settle it!!!!

This is my thread bout my car member not a bitch fight ova wots been done or not....

Neways mitchy i am talkin to an engineer (best mate) to start with cos thats who im gettin to install the engine as well as give me an engineering certificate after the install is done so that i can rego the car with the engine in it!

but neways ive had a look at the car and its in nice condition, the brakes are fine to start with and im just gona get them shaved to start with then work on them wen i move onto stage 2 of my mods which is like upping the boost and internals etc....

haha cheers char

yeh thursday ill be going to me mates place and ill actually get pics in the light! only thing is id love to keep the drift r rims that r on it but cant :bunny: bugga!!!

So thursday im pikin up stock steelies and puttin them on hahahaha hmmmm :down:

neways it has a 3" straight through exhaust on it already so once engine is install i just have to set it up with a cat and ill be rite! Best mate says that it sounded hell beefy b4 the other rb20 came out, so cant wait to hear it meself hehehe

Yet you sell engine packages to people who haven't upgraded brakes...

So he's not allowed to sell an engine to someone, unless the buyer pinky swears to upgrade their brakes as well?

"Ohh Bart, please oh please will you sell me this engine. I promise to to bush my teeth, and clean my room and upgrade my brakes prior to driving on the roads! Please please please!!!"

hahahahahaha ur a bloody funny bugga ryan!

Cmon bois settle it ova pms not in my thread!

We all no, unless u no didly squot about cars, that brakes is one of the first things to upgrade while upgrading the engine!

    • 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?
