Thought you skyline maggots might be able to help. My VN AERO is having heat soak issues and im sick of getting stranded un able to start her up. I Usually use the garden hose to cool the bastard down enough to get going but im after a long term solution. Was thinlking maybe rigging it up so alot of my electrics and battery are mounted under the drivers seat. Happy to hear any sugggestions

Go back inside your square. You're all the same. Talking like that gets you nowhere no matter what your excuse. We're Skyline enthusiasts here. Insults won't get you anywhere but banned. Ta ta!

hahaha no one drinks VB here

as said previously we talk nicely around here, and things get done

no one likes being called a maggot or tossers specially from someone they don't know

little bit of forum etiquette goes a long way

How about cleaning out your radiator; take it out of the car, use 50/50% kerosene/methylated spirits, flush flush flush

put back in car, use radiator flush (get from Sprint auto parts) and use as directed

fill with good radiator fluid concentrate and distilled water

if no good perhaps the radiator is too far gone and needs replacement, if so ebay or commo auto spares

then sell and buy a skyline.. the R31 uses RB30 which you'll find in a VL so you'll still feel a little commmmmo

yeah radiator clean would be good, maybe big thermo fans with a good shroud.

i had an EH holden that used to get heatsoak from the head to the fuel lines in summer, i had to re-rout the fuel lines and put in a bigger rad then it never skipped a beat

    • 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?
