So has anyone actually decide to stay up for the night?

I hadn't noticed this thread previously, but thought it seemed like a much better idea then getting up at the crack of dawn on a cold winter's morning to drive up.

I've had a quick look on wotif.com and the accomodation prices are pretty reasonable, so I'll probably book something later today (once I actually send my entry form in :rofl:).

If anyone's interested in catching up on the Sat night for a few drinks and a bite to eat, let me know. This is the first time the misses and I have come out to one of these events, so it would be good to meet up with some of you guys beforehand and put some faces to the names.

Yep we'll be up there the night before, I am a big fan of beers the night before and a cozy sleep in the next morning :cheers: Dan, Jodie, Adam and Jaala are staying up there too http://www.ozhorizons.com.au/nsw/hv/citigate/loc.htm

Happy for others to join us up there :)

Sorry we missed you all, saw heaps of Skyzers in the carpark.

We were there - also saw a heap of Skylines (and a Ceffie) in the carpark :)

We came down to the restaurant/bar during the evening to see if we could find anyone, but not knowing anyone from a bar of soap made it a little difficult. We ended up going somewhere else to eat anyway as we couldn't get a table in any case. Next time... :P

Tell me about it...that carpark was nuts. I had to do 3 point turns to get down the ramps between each level.

Speaking of tight, I also saw a gunmetal (?) 33 in the carpark that was wedged between a pole and an inconsiderate 4wd that decided it wanted to share it's car spot. I would've been a bit worried leaving my car there...I hate parking next to 4wd's.

That was me... figured that I was there after him, and I was leaving around 7am... so hopefully he would still be there in the morning, which he was... I had to fold my mirrors in to get in there just so I could squeez out the door to get in/out of the car... and I'm not that big a bloke. lol

we were the group in the corner near the bar... just in case you saw us.

    • 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.
    • 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?
