Hey guys went to pits today, and got the two worst things, One, it was overcast and dark as hell, and two got some paki, who thought i was a little shit

here we go, i need to go for reinspection...

Tint - Replace or remove dark tint, if replaced not to be less than 35% transperent or reflective (he didnt check it, he just said yer its to dark, i thought they use a light meter or something)

Cracked Screen - Got a crack in the screen, has to be replaced..

Theres some oil leak on like something just above the turbo, not really a leak but just some oil there...

Exhaust - Was on borderline, but when de-celerate could be over....

He also said i could only get a permit for my Air filter (Its a pod)

and also write down it was honda prelude till i told him it was a silvia??

ok, but i thought you could get a permit for exhuast, BOV, and lowered suspension???

Can anyone help, i just need someone to rip off tint mainly, oh yer, is anyone sellin a front windscreen?

cheers

hey guys great news, i rang up DPi and asked about how they test it, they put me thru to a guy called john adn he said go down to where he is in midalnd and hell check it out, he couldnt use the meter on the windows, but he put a peice of paper inside and said yep i can see that, thats ok, and he also said bout the oil, he just laughed, and said just wipe it off,

he followd by the exhaust where he said just quiet it down, and he can give me permit for BOV, POD, exhaust and mayeb tint, i might ask next time i go, that he puts down, back half only.... cos thats only where it is, but tint the glass nyways and just have them down, when cop pulls you up....

but yer, so just need to get new windscren (which i had to do nyways) and put a silencer in the zorst (he said hell put down, quiet at examination)

but ohwell,

thanks

there is a thread in WA about tinting. crank the search button.

the munted bracket by the drivers left knee is where the exhaust silencer used to be.

check around a few workshops who will probably have an abundance of these floating about, or call an exhaust shop and get them to fit an extra muffler to quieten.

look, Im trying to be helpful. I'm sorry you had a bit of bad luck, and it's good that you can call on advice from sites like this to get help with your car. that's ultimately what these forums are for...... but do you really have to post a new thread about every step in the saga on every ****ing performance forum in perth?

http://www.silviawa.com/forums/index.php?s...?showtopic=5574

anyone who would take a car to the pits with a broken windscreen and expect it to pass - and then blame it on the assessors race when it doesnt - needs a ****ing good slap in the earhole.

You're a young fella, whose excited about your car. that's cool, but FFS@!!

alex does have a point..

however i think its kinda cool - i get to spend a lunchtime trying to decipher the text and the purpose of the post.

anyway...a little trick i have found when dealing with people who you need to suck up to for your own benefit - Go see them on a friday, people at work are always happier and more easy going on fridays. Believe it or not, but it works.

I wish i could understand at least a part of this:

... i might ask next time i go, that he puts down, back half only.... cos thats only where it is, but tint the glass nyways and just have them down, when cop pulls you up....

Otherwise get some legal tint or remove it ! always helps before going to the pits.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      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.

      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?
