Bit of an update,

Now sporting some White TE37's & a yellow canary on the window.

Went though regency a week ago completely standard ish...but didn’t pass because of window tint, GTR wheels with brand new tires & the zenon hid's which i thought were standard. Waiting till pay day to get new tires for my standard wheels then going to go back though, luckily a friend from high school has a 34 now too and she's offered for me to borrow her headlight to go to regency with.

After I’ve gotten of defect I need to ether get some longer wheel studs or 10mm spacers with longer studs what do you guys reckon? Also can any tell me where i got for logner wheel studs?

Update*

Soo anyways my bestmate ended up getting my car defected wile i had no license haha so been like 1 step forward 2 steps back but anyways all cleared now and cars completely standard & regency approved :(

but anyways that wasn't going to stay that way for long haha i ended up swapping the GTR wheels for a set of white TE37's with 'rad32' of here and yeah really happy with them. Put them on for the first time the other day and took some photos so here they are:

Fronts 18x8.5 +25ish Rears 18x9.5 +20ish

Fronts could maybe do with a 10mm spacer and some smaller tires, thinking 225's instead of the 235's

Rears im really happy with :(

I know about the mexican 4x4 lol the coilovers & exhaust should hopefully going in on saturday along with an HSK EVC 6 & display unit that i picked up yesterday. It wont be as low as the last time, going to raise it up to a legal-ish height i think :( and yeah think thats all i need to say atm

oh the bucket seats are now forsale $2250 $2250ono or swap for a full 25neo manual converstion heres the link:

awesome, so go the exhaust back on and along with that fitted up my new EVC and works good need to mount it properly n stuff yet but good for now lol anyways I took it for a test drive on 44KPA which is around 6PSI, it seams more responsive but its now hitting boost cut now under heavy acceleration. I thought standard was 7psi? i'v put my low boost on 44kpa & the high boost on 83kpa (12psi).

anybody got some suggestions?

thanks

Well i though to resolve the problem i had with the boost is to get a nistune remap & overall make the car run better so that’s going to Dex up at garage 7 early next week. So hopefully ill get some good power, iv never had any of my cars on the dyno so im rather excited. I would like to make around the 170-180 mark so fingers crossed a few people said i might not make that though cos its auto, is that true?

Also the exhaust is on now too so got the awesome RB grumble back along with coilovers and TE37’s are on too.

A few more little visual mods going on this month, my rays lock nuts got delivered this afternoon so they will get going on over the weekend along with hopefully a new vivagarage ducktail lip. But i didnt want to go the same way luke went with his 4door (as tough as it is!) so i went with something different. when it arrive from USA (taking a gamble here!) an evo style vortex generator. I don’t know how it will look because the 34’s roof is rather flat and long but we’ll see I’m pretty excited. Colour scheme: I’m thinking of doing them both in a glossy black or get them painted up the same as the car with pewter.

Up for subjections

Also still sporting the banana breaks, Legendary!

I got one of the ducktail lips for mine, needed heaps of prep work and wasnt the best fit, gonna get a proper jap one i think.

thanks man, your the second person to have said something along the same lines so think ill get the origin one :banana:

I gave the skyline a bit of a wash n decided to take some new photos with the differnt wheels on the weekend so here they are :)

    • 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?
