I am absolutely sick of all you haters about me driving a turbo. If you have nothing to say don't say it. There is no reason to be Nasty you wouldn't do it to a person On there opens its just because I wear that little plate. I did it all legally and got approved GET OVER IT!

Yeah none of those ridiculous mods it has 18 chromies on it... I hate them. I want to put te37's on

All I'm doing is just changing everything back to stock with the engine for now to stop any extra attention.

sure you did it legally, but through a loop hole. you decided that the law shouldn't apply to you and so you decided to try for the loop hole which is only really there for people who need to drive a turbo vehicle because their parents own on and they NEED to drive it, or their work vehicle is turbo and they NEED to drive it. not because some kid likes skylines and decides he's going to buy one regardless of what the law says beccause, well, f**k it, he damn well WANTS to drive a skyline like the cool kids! and despite what he says about driving sensibly, it won't be long before he's racing cars off from the lights and doing burnouts and generally doing more damage to the already fragile image of import owners and enthusiasts.

Ok for one. I do drive it for work running for parts dropping off customers and picking them up. And i have a moderately power exemption it does not need a reason for it. It isn't a loop hole, it's there for cars that are turbo but don't have the power of a turbo. And all the cool kids drive there skid pig commodores.

You should of been at the mighty car mods meet today and seen all the p platers with turbo cars. And all the idiots driving stupidly.

And you know what as I said I have had it with the negativity

Plus what's the difference of me getting a n/a and just going out and being that stupid p plater like you are all portraying. The difference is some kilowatts. And that is it. So get over the turbo fact and can we get back to the point of this whole forum. General discussion and advice about cars. Not ragging on me because some people have a problem with me. If you have a problem..... Simple!....... STOP REPLYING AND LOOKING AT THIS THREAD!!

what marc is trying to say is that its your attitude that could be a potential problem

you bought a car that you know, as per the law, should be prohibited; you then made steps to put yourself behind the wheel of said car (with no guarantee that the exemption would go through).

yes you went through legitimate means, but it takes a certain amount of subconscious arrogance (or an 'i'm better than that' mindset) to go for it.

I'm not having a dig at you mate, but we all know that such a mindset (regardless of age) is not a good thing.

EDIT: Mad082, i don't even know if your names marc. :S i dont know if it's your signature or what, but for as long as i can remember on the forum, everytime i see a post of yours ive associated your account with 'marc'

      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?
