Hey guys, I was wondering if someone could fill me in on some specs in a car that 'merged' past me the other day. I was in a Porsche Boxter S sitting at a set of Traffic lights in Lane Cove.

The only things I got a glimpse of before being laughed at by twin rubber lines, was that it was a dark blue, with a red roll cage. The owner seemed to be a youngish sort of guy? Sorry it's so vague, but it's all I can remember

And before you ask, I'm not police or anything, and I don't want names or anything like that, I'd just love to know what that 32 has under it's hood and what it's making at the treads.

The Porsche I was in does the 1/4 in high 13s, and it was beaten sufficiently.

Any ideas?

Cheers!

no regulars on this forum spring to mind immediately when you say blue r32 with red rollcage.

maybe if you went back to where you saw him last on the same day next week and around the same time you might see him again? lol shot in the dark really.

I'll move this thread to the NSW section as they may be better equipped to help you.

Lane Cove hey?

Im from there too - but this GTR/skyline doesnt sound familiar, lately I have found a few lines that arent actually forum members on here, so now its hard to see who is who!

I'll keep an eye out though for sure!

I see a dark blue 2 dr R32 everyday at about 7.30am in regents park heading to god only knows. I cant remember seeing a red roll cage but I do remember seeing a large front mount which could mean he is running lots of boost. It wasn't a gtr though.

I know enough about cars to recognise a 32 against an s15 :blush:

Yeah it was a mates Boxtster S, but they're not a bad kit of car at all. It's got great throttle responce down load, and a beauiful engine noise right behind your ear, albiet no spooling or BOV's. But for cruising around it's fantastic with the rood down through some twisties.

And for the record I'm not the slightest bit ashamed of being flogged, I'd just like to know how badly i got beaten power wise! I'd kill to own something like that sklyline. And btw nice miata in the Cove, I also own one, you up at the plaza often? Haven't seen it around?

Porsche Boxter S? they're nuggets!

I had some 'fully sick' bloke with his gf in the car take me down Parramatta Road, I left him for dead in my old RB20DET 180SX.

That wouldn't be a slow car!

boxters can do 13's?????????

Yeah I'm failry sure it's like 13.9 for the Boxter S. Though that figure would probably be absolute perfection driving.

The search continues...

That wouldn't be a slow car!

She was slow, alot of show, not that much go.. only made 190kws at the wheels, nothing special.

You might have seen it before, LP2 Midnight Purple 180SX with GP Sports body kit with the plates SKY-180, a blonde chic owns it now :)

Sadly not, but I'll keep my eyes peeled! My Miata makes a blistering 82kw at the wheels! I think a snail on the pavement beat me off the lights the other day. Left a nice thick black line underneath and a lot of shell smoke. I also get beaten by those scooters old people use!

you muppets are as useful as tits on a bull.

guy comes in here asking if you've seen or know of an r32 skyline matching his description, and you guys turn it into some epic discussion of your favourite line vs your favourite porsche vs your favourite fords now?

stick to the topic or GTFO. start a new topic if you wanna bash porsches or Group A or whatever the hell else.

I live in lane cove mate, have not seen one. Dark blue is a very rare colour from factory. I believe the GTR which came in blue in the R32 was only made 100 times, GTST would be no doubt the same. Unless sprayed but dunno why you would spray it blue.

You sure its a R32?

Saying that its not hard or expensive to make a R32,33 or 34 move abit faster than 13's Unlike the Porka which is quite costly. Ive smoked alot of Porkas.

Hey weapon, right? I came on that cruise with u down to the beaches that night - the red miata was mine, I'm mates with Chris from the foot.

Yeah deff was a 32, positive about it. How's your rig running?

i too live in lane cove. haven't seen the car you speak of. the boxster S surely is quick. but how old is the car? my old man drives a 911 and over time the thing has lost some power and doesnt quite accellerate these days like it would have when it was brand new.

    • 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?
