Ive been reading through forums and seen a bit about window tinting and seems to be alot of confusion. Maybe i can help a little seeing as its my trade.

Laws in NSW state you can have 35% film, which means 35% of uv light gets in, on your car. Its LEGAL to have all of the sides of the car and the rear screen tinted. Its totally ILLEGAL to have your front windscreen tinted. Sun strips aka the piece at the top of the window is LEGAL aslong as its no bigger then 10% of the size of the window from top to bottom.

There is alot of confusion about this 1993/1994 law... i dont even no what year it is but have herd its actually 1989, might do some research into this, the law then was you could have 35% on your front two windows, being the drivers door and passengers doog, and anything behind them as dark as you want.

What to look for when looking to tint your car.. First thing you should ensure is the film you will be receiving is a FULL METAL film, this will ensure it WILL NOT FADE, BUBBLE, OR CHANGE COLOUR. Make sure your film comes with a written warranty, some may not if its darker then legal. Make sure you request it to be custom fit, this means the film is specificly cut for your car, not off a template, this is to ensure you have no GAPS on any window including the top edge. Make sure your getting a 1piece back window, no join lines on the back window where your will see them in 12months time, please note not all cars can have 1 piece back window if there too curvey.

When cleaning the windows on the inside DO NOT USE amonia based window cleaners, aka windex, read the label. You will need a ALCHO based cleaner.

Any questions or anything feel free to ask and i shall answer if i no the answer, if not i shall ask around...

cheers!

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      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.

      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?
