Guys,

Just wanting a bit of feedback regarding the events held at DECA on the weekend. Due to the overwhelming response to run another event and whilst it's still fresh in everyone's mind we'd just like to know what you enjoyed most on the day so any future events can be planned accordingly.

Can vote for more than one option.

:(

I loved every damn second of the weekend!

I think if there had of been lights on the skid pan, I'd be there all night!

Loved it.

Bring on the next one

i can get you some lights for next time ,if you want, if i come. i work at kennards hire in bayswater and i think we have 8 x 1500 watt flood lights and genarators to run them. The boys at work said someone from skylines australia came in to get a walking measure just after i left. too bad i missed ya. Sounds like you guys had lotsa fun..!

Even though I liked the lot, I was not the biggest fan of trying to change from forward to reverse (and back). It seems to me like that could brake the gearbox easily if you get too exuberant with it.

I'm much prefer to have all the 'khanas completed in the forward gears.

I liked it all particularly chaps laps, except the last session which was pointless and had no specific motorsport value. I'd rather give the volunteers a shot at the courses again rather than waste time like that. They deserve it.

getting into reverse in the 6speed s15 is a pain - takes some of the fun out :)

lets just do it in forward gears ;)

It just adds another level. This event was practice for a similar event that will be in dutton, so I wanted to practice my reverse J turn. Promise we will never have more than one of these, but it did have some underlying value for the four of us who are competeing in Dutton this year.

All in all thou. I loved all the events.

i agree, reverse does add another level. crunched a few gears tho... chaps and essendon were both great because they were so different.. witht the sweeping last turn of essenden i think all the rwd boys had a ball.... one big drift; where as chaps was a bit more technical. i think the last free session would have been better with the whole pan rather the divider but i totally understand the idea of splitting it so we had more time on.

For what it's worth I actually for the one with the reverse my favortie one of the day. Basically 4 handbrake turns, a reverse flick and lots of getting the power down with a huge stop - all whilst racing someone else. I thought it was tops.

I actually found the stop - go the hardest part on the car but we had to have that from CAMS restrictions.

Anyways - thanks for the feedback. It seems a pretty even spread of enjoyment which means people enjoyed the whole day.

Which is why you want to hand brake 180 into the box, and come out in first gear =p

loved every single aspect, only thing I'd change is more shots at the short wang course and less time arsing about at the end

Keep the reversing maneuvres, even add more in - it's just another facet to car handling and that's what motorkhanas are all about!

      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?
