This is to see what happens basically (guessing ill be punished more then the people that should)

I look through the whole cars only forum every day just for fun, to see how the markets traveling, and if theres a good deal to snap it up.

Every day i see someone question, abuse and belittle sellers that are FINANCIAL MEMBERS of SAU, an extremely FRIENDLY car club, and it really shits me (and ive only ever posted a beater on here which, which got shit taked, though i didnt care about the comments i got the price i wanted) and alot of frustrated sellers.

To the trolls, (other naughty words), yes you may be upset that you cant afford an excellent machine that is for sale and be down about it, dont get angry, say wow this is an awesome car wish i could take it off your hands! if you genuinly want to help the seller dont say 'your car will never sell because your add is crap because it doesnt have any pretty pictures for me to look at' (an interested buyer will sms or email for pics as prompted) PM the seller saying, hey bud just noticed you didnt leave the kms or price or enough history, try this this and this.

To the mods, you may get mad at me for this (hoping not punish me as everyone breaks the rules in here every day), or you may think, yeah im sick of having to deal with children in a mature and friendly forum we should get a disciplinary plan to get them off here.

I reccomend a first offence warning pm'd to the person with the comment deleted (expecting thats what will happen to me lol), if it happens again either a 10 day IP ban and then longer if continued, or if the technology/budget/man force, isnt there an account ban with the same system (which i can help with if wanted as im on here enough lol)

I understand this isnt the right place for this and i could have PM'd a mod with this issue but i knew SAU members could leave there +1. (if the thread isnt deleted first)

Jarrad.

P.S please dont ban me i really like SAU, hence my frustration and effort in this msg. :)

    • 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?
