I think it's pretty stupid of Livo not to take up on a group buy. And wtf does flooding the market have to do with anything. Pathetic I say.

There's 1 bolt that's a real PITA to get to on the dump pipe. It's right at the top and you can only get to it from underneath.

Yeah the guy was a bit funny there eh. telling me he was going to flood the market with his dumps..

Does one of you guys work for Charleston? its in Blacktown right?

Its fair enough they will be doing a supply and fit, i dont see a problem with that, what are they charging for a full 3 inch and dump?

cant be any worse than a gtr dump eh? it looks like you can actually get your hands in there!

i'm going to do the high flow also, gotta call my mate at turbologic soon to get it done. will prob go the bb turbo tho.

Liverpool Exhaust can flood the market but I predict not many people will buy their piece of sh!te. :P especially Andy lol

None of us work for Charlestone, but it's run by a top bloke and he has a good name on a variety of car forums etc. Craig has had several cars fitted out by them. It's at Blacktown yes.

The factory turbo is bb, it doesn't look like a good choice to go bush (check the turbo thread if you havn't already).

I don't have a price on the full system yet, I'll wait until the dump pipe is ready to be produced and then I will get a price on the dump and the rest of the system. I'm hoping to keep my Nismo muffler and pipe (cat back) but I will have to see how the airflow goes.

No, none of us work there. Jetwreck speaks highly of them so I thought I would give them a call get a quote and see what they suggested.

It was a very easy decission in the end as they were by far, the best service, best advice (all other shops had a one solution to all problems) and the killer the price was by far the best.

A business with a good business ethic and customer service wins me every day.

I would also say the same of Fast Fit at Leichardt as there response to my inquiry about the tow bar was top notch. I will tell you about the craftmanship after Thursday.

I can not say the same of many other exhaust shop I have been to over the last couple of months.

Yee sweet met up with Craig tonite, and he gave me the spiel on charleston,

that stock dump looks like a nightmare! i will soon have a solution, i cant believe how much restriction these cars have now.. as far as performance gains go with exhausts/dumps there is clearly a huge difference in any direction you take.

i'll get my car up on the hoist soon to see what kind of clearance we have and make a nice smooth bend out of the flange.

we're only going to make a dump that replaces the stock item. that way front pipes/catback selection is up to you.

p.s. Nice car Craig :) and good to meet you too!

Ill be following this as well!

keen as a bean for a dump

Go to the loo then man :P

Hi Ben

The dump Andrew is getting made up is for a M35 Stagea not the C34.

Cheers

Andy

I think you will find Benny may have just upgraded to an M35 :D

yeh dumb ass 1(andy) and 2(steve)!!!! :)

Andrew and I will keep you up to date Ben.

Why am I a dumb ass? :P

I was pointing out to Andy that Benny had upgraded!!

Sheesh!!

The jig has been made up,

all we have now is to check out under the car to see how smooth a bend we can get coming out of the turbo flange :P

hopefully will get a good look tomorrow arvo otherwise i'll be down the snow for the weekend..

Ok so the Jig is up!! hehe

    • 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?
