There is a very good chance we can make it, my other hald and my little boy. My 260 might not look so good in the photos this cruise around, some nasty deep puddles took care of the lip on my front bar and some lady in the Woolies carpark has made a mess of my rear bar. On the plus side there is more air going through my intercooler now LOL

It was a good turn out...wish I brought my mate with me so he could take some photos whilst we were cruising.

I lost the group on the afternoon drive (after we stopped and two cars left)....but nevertheless it was a great drive

Hope to do it again soon

Yeah sorry to bail like that. I was loving the Spur but was getting low on fuel and it looked like Scotty was headed all the way to Marysville.

Laura had a ball on the spur and made a video of the back of Scotts wagon on her I phone. Was braking late to catch him on the corners but when he hit the straight and opened the throttle it was like he unleashed hell. The way that thing takes off is incredible. Now I have to get some power mods after seeing what can be achieved.

Scotty, I hope you had the Go Pro HD camera mounted on the dash. Post up some video if you did.

Pictures please people.

Nah mate, no gopro today. :P

We went to Marysville but it seemed a few cars dropped off, probably fuel related, although the ethanol car outlasted you all. haha.

After Marysville we headed down Reefton spur, hardly any traffic and had a blast getting chased by 2 M35's. Perfect day, thanks guys for turning up, it was a great turnout.

OK, so I got some pics before we started out. Nothing special, I'm used to being in a studio and it's a new camera so whatever.

Would have hot some drive shots too but not keen on $7K worth of camera gear being flung around the spur......

    • 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?
