Hay guys

Im looking at buying an un rego'd skyline that needs a bit of tlc and putting it over the pits. the owner said the car was rego'd in WA and got a yellow sticker for a illeagal mod and so the owner handed in the plates and used the car for the track. now its not that far from stock so returning to reasonable condition isnt a bother its weather the pits will let an un rego'd import to be licensed again and how to know if the owner is telling the truth (I will ask for rego papers) but the main thing is the pits and if there will be any hassles any of you had trouble.

cheers

what was the illegal mod? it will have to be returned to stock.. if it was a cheap part i'd be wondering why it wasnt remoived.. especially to sell later on..

the car has to be in roadworthy condition for it to be rego'd again.. if there are lots of worn out parts, etc it may end up costing a bit to get in good condition..

it was yellowed for the front mount exhaust and some other small bits. the car is not that hard for me to return to stock because i have a spare wreck so that no problem i was wondering if the pits have an issue with re licenseing imports and what happen if it was bought in under the personal imports rule it wont have a complience plate hw will the pits deal with that. (the car was licensed i cant see a complience plate any where) where are complience plates on r32's on silvia theres a big green plate on the fire wall.

won't have a problem with re-rego.. as long as it passes roadworthy.. ask for compliance papers and check against car.. get a workshop to look over it and see if they have issues with it/ or if it's not complianced

Yep check for compliance plates, the thing might have been brought in as a race-use only vehicle...in which case, without complying it yourself (will cost a few thousand) you won't be able to register it. May have had a vin swap or been a rebirth too. Plenty of people lie sell their problem off onto someone else.

      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?
