G'day guys driving home tonight I saw two Skyline Gtr's fully prepped for targa in pink with Donut king signage.

Guess this marks the start of cars coming in for targa.

for anyone who wanted a look they are at the suspension shop don't know the name opposite "store it safe" in Invermay.

Cheers Lavers

Good timing fellas

I will be coming over to service my old R32 GTR at Targa this year and am looking for someone I can loan jacks, stands , jerry cans etc off.

As W A is a long and expensive trip we are trying to keep transport costs down, especially of spare parts.

If you are mechanically minded and want to service on the the event, an arrangement can be made as well.

PM or contact me on the number below.

This is the new owners first time so don't expect anything magical but we hope to finish and build on the experience for next year.

Cheers

nice :) ours is dropping arriving the week before....god knows how they get their cars ready this early ;)

Duncan , know the feeling , we are still building brakes, installing clutches, re making exhausts.

What comp number are you?

Ours is 828

Cheers

Yeah Gtrken you could probably borrow most of that stuff off me If you want. my old man has heaps of stuff down in his shed.

Just PM me with the stuff you need and I'll check if we've got it.

Would love to be on a support crew but can't because i've got school that week. Bugger

Hope this can help in some way.

P.S.

If anyone else running in Targa wants any help just PM me.

Cheers Lavers.

Hi Laver,

Just thought I'd let you know that you were sort of right, and yes they are here for Targa, but that weekend for the Octagon 400 at Baskerville Raceway.

Cheers Mate and keep supporting the Skylines,

Regards

    • 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?
