Maria,

Does your 'line have an active LSD diff or traction control??

Being a 1998 model it might..

Hmmm I'm not sure... I think it might I haven't had any traction problems when I take off from the lights and end up 4/5 car lengths in front? (without trying?)

Have a check on your dashboard for a A-LSD light when you start her up next time  :uh-huh:

LOL, ummm.... both really. Both have thier good points and sort of do different things.

Traction control would be great for big HP cars.

When you've got your clutch fixed, do a 5000rpm dump and see what she does :(:D

Andrew - sorry for hi-jacking your thread....

yeah very modified and costs a shitload of cash to even get it to that. Theyre a shit car to mod compared to something like the EVO. Even the AVO boss himself said it in an interview. He only likes EVOs and GTRs.

Not even massive HP - his old car (now mine) can just sit there off wasting away the tires if u just dump it.

Traction control just electronically regulates the throttle anyway - nice, but nothing a human can't do if on the ball. More useful on corners where it can counter human stupidity :( ATESSA though in a GTR is a whole different thing.

Hey, coool, you can buy aftermarket traction control kits .... (me thinking)

I've never heard of factory TC on any Skyline.

R34 GT-T has traction control on the turbo as standard. I think on some of the later R33 series 2 (97 or newer) it came with traction control also an option.

I don't think there are many aftermarket kits available actually.. racelogic makes one (UK) apparently. Prolly not cheap.

Did you get your r32? If so is it a silver one with Enkei's on it? If it is I though it was Keir Wilson's car (9 sec SA GTR)when I saw a silver GTR the other day in 7th St!. As far as worrying about Scoobs in town, the STI's arent your worry. The STI's that are modded are mainly show, not go. My mates 00 (non sti) has a fair bit of gear from APS, and has stax of torque down low, but will eat 300kw GEN 3's. Will pull hard from 1000 rpm and falls off about 6 1/2. As far as drags go, dunno. He wants his car to last. As far as track performance is concerned, the APS 600 HP car will just outrun his down Sandown main straight (and they have more tyres/suspension/balls thru the corners) BUT.....at a track day a while ago the 2nd fastest car (after the 600hp demo sube) was a fairly stockish r33! Give me a yell if this is you in the 32 with the Enkei's, I wana have a look at your car if I can.

    • 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?
