Want Performance Modifications Done To Your Car Cheap Money Wise? If So, Look In Here


Recommended Posts

yep, and because if they seriously stuff something up, then have insurance to cover it etc .... oh, plus they issue a tax invoice including GST, which I can claim for my business expenses.

But I wish I didn't have to get things done professionally, as  

1). EVERY single workshop (except GT Autosound) have ripped me off to the hilt ($70-$90 per hour is RIDICULOUS!!), and  

2). Most of them don't actually do good quality work (again GT Autosound excepted) - and most don't give a crap about you or your car, they are interested in getting your job done and the next one in the door.

My 2c

i've heard a bit about gt autosound and seen their drift and drag car but thats all i've heard! What are they, a performance workshop with a dyno or what? what kind of work do they do! prices etc!

I have decided to just wait and save for a power FC and a FMIC bleeders don't come too highly recommended from a friend... so I guess Ill wait till then and then perhaps get a hold of you for that installation! Cheers anyway!

GT Autosound are mostly doing car audio, and some basic mechanical things too. They have no dyno, but are high quality at a good price.

Yep, I've taken a good look and there isn't a whole buch of room to plum piping or a homemade snorkle.

Cheers

co-incidently today while i help install a mates fmic, i noticed that he had a cai box for his car although it was on a r33. Now im unsure of the dimensions of its compared to the space in the 32, but if its similar i can use my friends cai as ad mould that to fit your's. btw do you know if the r32 gtr engine bay - where the pods are similar to the r32 gtst's even though the gtr has 2 pods there.

  • 3 weeks later...

is the area where the pod filters are in the engine bay for gtr/gtst's the same. I was thinking cai for gtr's would be a little bigger as it uses two pods instead of one?

Hi Nozila

Mate I have a dump pipe and cat I need to install in my car to replace the factory one, Do you do this type of job? if so how much would I be looking at? and when can you do it?

The parts are on their way to adelaide and should be getting here on Friday,

Cheers,

    • 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?
