Well tonight was pretty succesfull all round. Most of all macca.

I ran a 13.8, which I was very pleased about, Couldn't do it again though!!

Macca started with a 13.06, which we were all impressed with. But he had to show off and pull a 12.9 on his final atempt!!

Sean(or shan?) was pullin 13.1's to I think about 13.6's.

And adam was havin a bit of trouble with his car, 14.4 was his best I think.

Paul Didn't race cause his car is slow.

But all in all a pretty good night. (I'm F#ckin Happy!!)

We think Hicks actually picked up someone else's slip cause he only ran 14's when people were watching. :DThe only reason I didn't run was casue I had to lend my racing slicks to Macka, only reason he got the 12.9, other wise I'd have shown you what a 13 sec car looks like.

Well done Hicks.

See'ya:burnout:

Well done Hicks.. not a bad effort at all.. gotta be pretty happy.

Adam.. you can try again when you get the car sorted out. If you don't burn it between now and then. Just have faith.

and Macka, bloody Macka.. just when I thought I had ya beat. Well done old boy, 12.98 is somethin to be proud of...especially seeing as you raced the whole night without blowin anything up.

Well I'm pretty stoked with my 13.10 ... the little Sr was screamin it's head off all the way down the quarter.

Time for some real mods.. please God, gimme 12's . :(

Hehe I think most of us were happy with the results,

On one run it was pretty funny Hicks took 2 car lengths on me at the start and then he looked at me as i flogged past him and I waved :D I think thats when u got u your 13.8 Hicks :(

I pulled my 12.98 Racing that Torana and he blew me a new hole but thats when i did my best too..

Oscar (Shannon) Did bloody good thats when i thought they were having Timeclock problems when he showed me his 13.2 first run!

KillerT Those tyres are top secret, They are worth a lot maybe we can do a deal haha.

Dont tell GTS-t VSPEC hey but ill give u a hint, It wasnt the tyres that did it :(

Macka,

What do you mean it wasn't the tyres!??? It must be that large snail that crawled into your engine bay. Shit, just imagine the time you could have got on some decent tyres, probably would have fried your clutch though if you got more traction.

See'ya:burnout:

    • 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?
