It's been a year since the last one and I've been prompted by some serious Skyline lovers... (well, and the LOLvo dude) to bring this back... and I think WE should.

Although, segregating people is not my thing so, ANYONE can attend... none of this "MEMBERS ONLY" bullshit which basically sucks.

Details of meeting point as well as convenient date and time are now up for discussion.

This is known as a classic in this here parts (info for n00bs and their guests) and of course we would prefer to have only those who love their license as much as they love their cars attend... for obvious reasons.

My first suggestion is that we change it from being a night cruise to being a day one... say on a Sunday in the near future.... it makes for better pics in my opinion....

aaaannd....

GO!

UPDATE:

Sunday June 6th!!

Meet: Chatswood Chase Car Park, Enter off Victoria Ave

Time: 3:00pm, Leave by 3:30pm

Destination: Palm Beach via Newport for Pizza.

Bring: CB's, a full tank of fuel and a GOOD attitude.

As always, don't do anything silly as we are on public roads and we do not want bad attention drawn to the group...

We are enthusiasts not hoons or a gang of ANY type out for a drive NOT a race!!!

Traffic will not be an issue because we will stick together and to the speed limit at ALL times.

If you decide to do the wrong thing.....YOU WILL BE REPORTED TO POLICE - this is NOT a joke.

Pizza Place:

Lucky's & Pep's Pizza Bar

Shp2/ 303 Barrenjoey Rd Newport 2106 (02) 9979 1756

sure, the beach is normally full in Autumn hehehe... I was thinking maybe start the cruise at say 3pm..

by that time, beach goers are normally over it, leaving the car park pretty empty...

Mars, the only carpark that springs to mind that could possibly handle a large number of cars is the one at the far end of the Newport straight, and you would be surprised, it will still be packed even in autumn, and even at 3pm as there is a large park next to the beach and its always very very busy.

I like the traditional night time cruise although it would be good to eat at the pizza joint for an hour or so and then cruise on up to Palm Beach, seems as though everyone disappears soon as they get their pizza order.

    • 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?
