For those of you who have got your car's licensed did you use the existing holes in the parcel shelf or drill new ones. The reason I ask is that I have mounted my restraint points using the holes already there in the shelf but they are offset from centre.

Just curious to see what others did, and what they got passed by engineers/pits.

:cheers:

Not sure about WA but in QLD you need to have THREE restraint points........this will require you to drill new holes in your parcel shelf.

Perhaps speak to the engineer that is signing your vehicle off to obtain an accurate opinion of what is needed. Or better yet, blow the cobwebs out of your wallet and spend the few bucks to have someone else do it right. Someone that knows what they are doing will DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.

drilled.. only need 3 if you want it complied as a 5 seater.. otherwise 2 points will make it a 4 seater. Anybody ever tried to fit 5 people in an R32? I know I wouldn't be itching too.

I did it right first time by asking questions.. saved $600..

on my 32 we drilled. wasnt too concerned around the offset thingy, its not that big.

as for fitting five people in a skyline.. im certain i couldnt do it with my mates, but with my gf's friends, its very squishy. even for me as i have to have the drvers seat moved forward..

really dont look forward to carrying more then two passengers.. noone fits behind me and theres not even leg room for the middle seat.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      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?
