Still downloading my photos off the memory card. Somehow managed 1.2 gigs of stuff.

Like the others have said, huge-rageous thanks to the JEM boys for hosting such a great night. The atmosphere was fantastic with all those great cars and a look-see at the cool components that make up a high power build.

Also thanks to Terry and Matt for putting their cars on display as well. I'm always amazed by road cars that are kept in such pristine condition (makes me glad to park at the back of the lot).

Yup, they couldn't do enough for us :)

And quite a few of our cars go to JEM - rightly so!

This was an interesting night, and I was impressed by the professionalism and accurate answers from the JEM guys. I hadn't been there before but will put them on the list for future.

On the other hand, it was great to arrive late and miss the 4th performance in 12 months or so from the "why you should spend $15k on internals for your street car" sales pitch from Nitto. Their gear is excellent....but only 1% of people need excellent.

Thanks for putting this event on team :)

And an SAU Member 'Adopted' Car that has been here in Oz since 2003 as a new personal import; but never made an appearance at SAU Events until Legends Night November 2011.

Very few SAU Members have ever seen underneath her before - so at JEM, we and they welcomed the opportunity. :3some:

You Duncan have been just as dynamic in putting things on when you were Prez :yes:

And you in fact set the ball rolling with these Tech Nights by engaging National Tyre Wholesalers' Tech Night last year. That won't be forgotten!

Great to see all you SAU Members last night :3some:

Our quota was full - umm overfull in fact with one gatecrasher who'll remain nameless.

A very informative night. Big Thankyou to JEM and SAU for putting the night on.

I had never been there before, but will keep them in mind for my next build, as their knowledge and wanting to make sure the customer is happy and going in the right direction in their project, is something I look for in a workshop.

Thanks to JEM and SAU execs for the great night. I was the guy asking too many questions about circuit cars -sorry!

I also found Nitto's pitch interesting, learnt a lot about forged internals etc. It was also interesting that he didn't mention any prices which I found amusing. Hopefully I will see you all again at the next track day when my car is up and running :)

      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?
