lollercopter at Adam, smoke much when you were on the fwy?

Jamie: You know when I turned onto Williamsons road, would lowering the car really make a difference to it sliding like that? Was a fine drive home :P

Had a great time, really good to have a chance to get to know everyone better.

James wanted to hear the screamer.... :P

Do u mean smoke from exhaust or tyres? if from the exhaust I'll have to get a catch can soon.

Let me know if you want to do the dash.

And good pics :D

Jason I don't think anyone had any idea you were coming back :P Yell it out next time :D

From your exhaust Adam. The second time you hit it when you were in between James and I, I got the biggest fright! Was loud, hehe

Here's the cream of the crop! Unfortunately not the best as no tripod, will bring one next time and maybe we can move some cars around :P

Before I met up with the girls I found my favourite photo place:

Lowering your car will make it more stable and the car won't 'tip' as much + your rears will always 'kick out' a bit, so to improve that, you need to upgrade / lower and setup your suspension right and put some decent tyres on.

Lowering a car will lower the centre of gravity = more stable on the ground.

But cuz the road was wet lastnight and you gave it hard on exiting the corner, you will break a bit of traction, but you controlled that with your throttle. :P

Great to meet and see everyone lastnight, was an awesome ride home!

Will try and get some pics up later!

^ I don't think the damage on your bumper is confidence inspiring :P

ps. Just receive my parking ticket from Kinglake in the mail. $23. All that lecturing and payroll of a cop and admin and postage for $23. Now I know where our taxes go!

Brutal. Maybe next time we want to cruise up Kinglake we can pre-pay and save them the trouble!

Charli, those pics of your car are EPIC! Maybe you can take a couple of mine?

Sorry I missed you guys, but I had to watch St Kilda teaching Geelong a lesson in defence. 3 points in an entire half ... how do you feel, PREMIERS?

:P

    • 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?
