i think the closing of dream 15s thread "what have you done to c34 lately performance wise" was a bit harsh really all is saying is have a thread for performance modifications to c34s. as there is a vast diffrence between them and m35s and some ppl have specific intrests and dont want to waddle through 10 pages of cruise control and light and stereo modifications to pick out points of performance issues of intrests. if you want it could be named diffrently to aviod confusion anf havr the stagea performance mods thread . end rant flame suit on

Dear Santa, I think it would be easier for both C34 and M35 to have seperate threads. It seems both parties have concerns. I've read that some M35 owners see us (the C34'ers) as doing the same stuf

I don't know what all the fuss is about. Back in the 80's we integrated kids with wheelchairs and other physical disabilities into our school. I think it is the duty of C34 owners to make M35 ow

Frankly, I don't see the need to go back to C34 vs M35 arguments.

I'll play devils advocate for a minute;

If you want to be like that; the C34 mod thread could easily be titled "Stuff that people have done 11ty billion times on r33 and R34 Skylines, but my point of difference is a hatch on the back of my car..." :rolleyes:

*Note*; Not my actual opinion; just a hypothetical point of view.

If it's sooo painful to read through pages of "10 pages of cruise control and light and stereo modifications to pick out points of performance issues of interests" why don't you perform a mod that hasn't yet been done on an R33/34 Skyline...

It's just a stupid, divisive argument. We are all in this together. For every 500hp build; there's 10 guys fitting Sumitomo calipers or rewiring their HID's.

Appreciate all the little mods, along with the major upgrades that go with either car, rather than whinging because everyone isn't playing with the same toy you are.:thumbsup:

Was just trying to start a thread with a few more interesting things mainly focusing on the performance (engine mods, handling, braking, etc) because for some people it does get a bit boring sifting through pages of the same old crap. Seeing as there are alot of modded C34's it would be nice to focus on them for a change if light bulbs and audi's are what the M35 boys are going to take over the other thread with.

Well crack on with your mods mate; no one is stopping you. Maybe even start a Build Thread.

It's not about anyone taking over a thread; it's a pretty true barometer for who is doing what with their cars at any given time.:whistling:

Looking forward to seeing your innovative, mega dollar build; filled with never before seen mods, with no boring bits.:thumbsup:

I think you mean "hear, hear" Scott.

I don't really care if there is a C34 and M35 thread, but if it was to be divided, why stop at that?

I mean C34 = done before on an R33/R34 Skyline

M35 = not done before 'cause it is an orphan

PM35 = done before on a Z33/V35

Honestly, is it that bad to wade through or take a look at what the "other side" is doing?

Never know, might see something you like :)

Gotta love irony!

The thread was closed by Nick, who owns a C34!

Why not just use the search function built into the site or use Google search query site:skylinesaustralia.com followed by what you're looking for.

Always works for me.

I'd like a "What have you done to your Black NM35 with most of an Aero kit, some painted V35 rims and a partially installed reverse camera today" thread.

ZOMG; it's gonna be AWESOMEZ!:banana: :banana: :banana:

That's right; THREE DANCING BANANAS!!! SOOO BADASS!

Well i would have continued on with it if a certain someone didnt close the thread.

And who said anything about a mega dollar build? Why would i pay someone else to work on my car when i can do it myself and cut half the cost, considering labour is where most of everyones money goes lol.

      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?
