i quite enjoy leavin $70k hsv's etc for dead , not coz they are fast cars , but coz the silly bugger has spent so much money on a shitbox.

Tried racing them around a corner? Just cos they're slow in a straight line doesn't mean it's a shitbox. By that logic, a $2m McLaren F1 is a shitbox because a $20k GSXR1000 will beat it over the ¼ mile. It's a different matter of course if they think their car is the fastest thing around, or if they somehow think that you're 'below' them because you didn't spend as much money as they did. Then it's time for an arse whipping :)

Hehe yeah, the earlier model R1's weren't *that* fast in gear. At Darlington Park I dragged one off going down the back straight - niether of us could believe it, I just shrugged my shoulders and kept passing him :) Was that a 1st gear run on the bike? Most litre bikes will do over 130km/h in 1st and many also have torque limiters, so it's not until second and sometimes third that they get full power. Try it from 150 or 200 :)

Actually my brother ran a black R32 GTR on my bike, 2nd gear roll-on from about 100 to 180 the GTR was only four or five carlengths back. It shot flames on backoff too and sounded angry he reckons :)

Hrmm.. geeez.. mayb y this is some of the reason why I have had a lance n a magna tried to wipe me out.. :)

Ah well.. I dont race at all.. tho.. I did by accident once tested and confirmed that my traction control does work (ie. the slip light blink like crazy and I was not going anywhere), the ford behind me was not too impress tho.

one night travelling to surfers paradise from tweed area, we had these guys in a monaro, i wasnt driving as i had a bit to drink but even in currumbin were we were 2 or 3 cars back in traffic, he had to dump the clutch and do a burnout(for god knows why) and then all the way up, they were trying to race us.. at one set of lights we were finally matched, i told driver, dont worry about them as i cbf dealing with getting car confiscated if anything happens, anyway the drive of monaro revvs engine.. and almost stalls it(you know kangaroo hoping or whatever, its like a mili second away from stalling) , he then did the big fly by when we were sitting on speed limit 10seconds later, so we did the appropriate wanker signals to him(after about 3 or 4 times over the trip telling him were not bothering on public roads)we could stop laughing the rest of the way..

i mean seriously, i dont mind at night, on 'private roads' if asked politely(as in good nature) having a run with something.. but this whole, yoru car is shit, thing.. well i guess i missed that phase :S but whats with dickheads trying to race at every lighst after saying no already..(oh should be noted, all people in the monaro had beers in hand.. even the passenger was passing the beer to driver to take swigs )

Ok I had to add this one,

Girlfriend picked me up in the line from the station the other night...

Mr Joe Cokhead in his new M3 at the lights we take off slowly so he stabs it and reaches that rattly M3 exhaust note that seems so common yet reminds me of a $50 tip on an excel, so what happens next...

Girlfriend punches first bangs second...seeeya...

Next lights pull up on the other side of him...windows down both cars, girlfriend leans over me and says "Should let your wife drive, she couldn't do any worse..."

I am really starting to hate M3's I like the look but the fart in a tin can sounding exhaust makes me wonder how well manufactured the rest of the car is...

Ok was at Aspley with my car, and these guys were geeing me up for a run for the past 5 weeks or so and I couldn't run them because I needed to get my bigger fuel pump, because I was leaning out at around 10psi with the new turbo. Finally they come up to me again after fuel pump install and tune.

They told me that I was going upagainst a 5L VN and pointed to a black kitted VN parked no to far away. "it's got extractors, exhaust, chip, and a cam" Thats it I said? to which they replied yep.

So we cruise on out to the highway, on the way out the VN gives it a little while alongside me, and a particulsr sound grabs my attention... yes I herd that whine of a supercharger winding up. My mate herd it aswell, so we figured we were in for a decent run.

Had a run form 80 in third and he pulled 2 car lengths while i was lagging, They were all yelling and laughing shit as they tore away form me. Caught up and had a run from 100. different story, they pulled half a car length, then i came onto boost and pulled past them changing into 4th.

On the way back down the freeway raced from 2nd at about 20. He broke traction hardcore but still pulled 2 car lengths wheelspinning away from me as I was lagging then I hit boost broke traction, hooked up again at top of second, hit third spun till about 120, hooked up and once again passed them changing into 4th. Was a lot of good clean fun.

Not having to worry about wheelspin!? You try moving forward with an open diff on the pan!

You've beaten me on the skidpan in the past Marc.

You bake biscuits. An Air biscuit is a fart. I actually got that out of Cleo or something. Also obtained another good definition from there.

Wanking Spanners, noun; hands.

2 of my favourites from a chicks mag, they are turning dirty.

    • 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?
