if my turbo hadn't farked and been replaced with non std, would love to be std 2wd.

Std 2wd looks like good place to aim for, time to check the rules so I don't do anything that bumps me up.

Ok cool... how far are you off working out the remaining calendar? Few things are popping up for August and September already and i'd hate to miss a round because the dates change...

SO Richo and I worked on this today,

and we have finalised out till the end of the year:

the last 3 rounds will be:

AROCA
Sandown
Sunday, August 11
WRX
Calder
Saturday 21st September
Tampered Motorsport
Winton
November 5th - Melbourne Cup Day
there will most likely be a non champ fun day same as last year in Dec.
and not to forget Nats is the end of Nov as well
and the championship is finally updated properly:
Cheers All
oh and my plan is, to be back out for the Nov round. back in Std RWD!

Hey guys,

Couple of questions, sorry if they're obvious but confirmation is betting than assuming!

I'm planning on entering the championship next year in my recently purchased S15 & would like to stay in the standard RWD class for my first year.

In regards to "non OEM aero", I have an Origin roof lip & D-Max ducktail boot lip to go on the car (purely for aesthetics) - will I still be in standard class with those?

It's not proper aero (ie. canards, diffusers, GT wings) but at the same time it's not OEM, so just a little confused on that one!

Also, it's not listed, but is an upgraded AFM (Z32) okay too?

will be running standard injectors & upgraded fuel pump.

thanks lads, thought it be best to get confirmation on a few things before i start modding the car :)

Lindsay.

    • 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?
