Guys, it was great to take the R35 to an event like this. Thanks for the vids and photos. Personally I thought the day was perfectly organised, and it was great to be able to take passengers. The rain was a blessing for me. Drag racing and track days are easy compared to this sort of thing. It was the first time driving the car on a skid pan and I have a lot to learn! I look forward to the next one. Once I work out how to get my videos from the gopro to youtube I'll share them around.

nice vids, love the 35 gtr one.

so who was quickest overall for the day? :P

I think N1GTR and Doof will agree, but it was just to hard to add up the times as half the people did 2 courses that the other half didn't and vica versa, also when the rain came down alot of cars lost their numbers. I only got 1 timed run out of 6 courses in my 32, and no timed runs in the Clio. I actually got 3 timed runs when I borrowed Joel's Clubman (All fastest times, but would have to put this down to the car.....WWHHHEAPON)

But I reckon, Gerard Sasso was REALLY quick in his MX-5, Liz in her 180 was quick when she kept it on the tarmac :D , Both of the Silver 32 GT-R's where using 4wd to there advantage along with silver 33 GTR, and of course My canberran team mate ZCR, Zane robertson got a 2 fastest times in his 32 Gtst. Also sorry to all of the 33 GTS-T owners that drove well, as all you 33's look the same to me....... :)

Thankyou very much for driving the new GTR like it should of been, great to see it out there with all 4 wheels spinning, and like I said if you ever forget how much fun RWD is, we could always swap for a run next time.............. :P

In the future, if a car is going to be there with biig fark awf stickers saying number 262, make sure to tell the exec team so we can accomodate the timing sheets for you :)

I think we're done with the shoe polish numbers too, we're going to be testing out some affordable stickers to see if they come off the cars easily enough.

No worries.

Would be great to have you and your brothers mates back again!

I'm going to get a race number made for my car now... :)

I wasn't having a dig, I was just saying alot of drivers missed timed runs due to unforseen circumstances :P

I had the big Numbers 32 and 197, and I thought that were going to be my numbers, and I'm guessing from the overbooking problem I got forgotten about (so did my second entry)and 32 was allocated to some bloody (awesome) camaro (yank tank with the race numbers 32 is so wrong)

Heads up for next time, skyline is 32 and Renault clio is 197, prob only do demo/Joke runs in the clio next time as the 32 is just to much fun to slide :)

I know a few people with the race number 32, so you're lucky they don't come along :P

Just remind us when you sign up for the next one... I still haven't seen a form from you!

And yeah, I didn't think you were having a dig, the plan was to have everyone do every course and get the times, but we braved the rain for as long as we could... It would have all been hunky dory if it didn't piss down sideways for an hour, but there's not much we could have done about that...

What about magnetic signs? Might cost more upfront, but would be reusable at any event... buy blank ones and just write the number on it in big black texta...?

Magnetic signs are also on the whiteboard of brilliant ideas... we are going to price them up, but if they end up costing too much, we're just going to have to say no.

Unfortunately, trusting everyone return it at the end of the day is just too big of an ask. I somehow manage to take something home from every SAU event :happy: I always return it later, but others might not be at as many events to return SAU property as me...

Yes yes... I read the exec section each time before posting here...

There are still a few problems with that though, it's a whole bunch of admin someone is going to have to do in the arvo! :happy:

I'm not bothering to speak til I see what the prices are. Theoritaclly, it's probably the best answer to our problem, but it depends on cost, quality and how many we get back.

      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?
