k's is always based on the engine, unless otherwise specified.

Odd, everything I've read says km's are based on the chassis. (You can change the engine, doesn't mean diddly to the km the car has travelled).

most of the ads i have seen state k's, then they state how many k's the chassis has done if its had a replacement engine. lets face it, 90% of cars for sale right now have the original engine, so it could really be quoting either engine or chassis.

the kms traveled counts how much the whole car has traveled, indicating wear to bushes, suspension components etc etc. Engine is classified in the same thing unless its been changed.

At this point you see ads that say car traveled 120,000kms on the clock (meaning the chaissis etc) and engine 60,000kms (self explanatory).

We need the actual print outs from the forms submitted to the ATO.". dose any no what it means? i have someone do my tax so i wouldn't know.

i might be able to help you with a loan from comm bank if you want...

Savings and Loans are great... they got me the loan when Bank SA refused me and said I can only take out $13k even though I was on a higher than required wage.

Went to Savings and Loans and they had no idea why Bank SA refused me. Oh well.

Ok next question is, the car I'll be getting might have high kms just because it's cheaper, once here I was thinking on having it eng rebuilt (rb26tt). So any good palce and how much dose it cost?

lol

i never tried at banksa cos even tho im a member, i didnt like their terms

called S&L when i wanted to buy the gtr, had to provide proof of employment + salary, pass credit check as well as provide details of the vin number and engine number (as its a secured loan) but had absolutely no problem in spite of having 10k worth of credit cards (at the time - thank fk i dont have that much debt now)

i also took out the income insurance premium when i took the loan out (which is currently in the 3rd year of a 5 yr contract) and it has helped me when I was between jobs earlier this year - the cover ended up paying for 8 weeks worth of repayments (which equated to $1.3k) and you can claim the unemployment cover once every financial year, incase you get screwed over - and it costs bugger all to begin with, something like $100... well worth it imho

    • 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?
