Ah, I noticed when I looked into your engine bay in the break, I was like wtf, it's stock & he's caning the shit out of it! Nice strut brace though. :) Were you one of the cars that spun out 3 times in the one corner at the end of the straight??? A grey s13 did it, and there was one more but I can't remember which car it was. The third time was a 360 degree spin over the grass at the esses hahaha

Haha yeah I tried the bling approach without without much success. Just removing the mass rust from the factory brace. I lost it completely once on the first corner during the wet on my first qualifying lap much to the delight of the crowd ( hearing the cheers from them :) ) so I kept on the throttle and kept it sideways out of the grass. My main problem on that corner was that I would come out of the corner and ran out of lock and then dove towards the inside of the corner :( Sat most of the time on the limiter just punishing the tits off of my car but unfortunately my exhaust is so quiet that no one would even know.

Saw steves bumper after one of the qualifying passes ... ouch! (u better be at the next mc round!)

I hope I can get a replacement before the next round, otherwise I cant really drive my car.

I even got pulled over on the way home, fortuneately the cop was ok with it, didnt fine me or sticker the car - he did have a big smile on his face when he saw it though, his comment was 'your obviously not having a great night', he was trying pretty hard not to laugh.

Funny thing is though, probably wont cost me alot more than if the comp was in the dry, last practice I fried $450 worth of tyres :P

haha i had a black silvia get pulled over in front of me on the way home, the cops did a u-turn and chased him

Just a question, Steve when is the next round????? And second, will it be another open comp like this????? Want to get my car out there is all. :D

If you are talking about MC, its on this sunday

If you mean drift, I heard WASCC is planning on doing monthly friday night pratice sessions and was told probably middle of each month - tbc

I was also told they were thinking of doing the next comp during the day on a weekend, probably early next year.

Things are finally looking up for drift in WA, Paul, how come you didnt come and say hello :D you've changed :D

Yes my car was the black/blue 32, but no I don't have a stock zorst... :D:D:( It is just really quiet, 3 inch all the way thru, but it has a big ass muffler on it, which will be going soon (I hope)

Yes I went around a few times... and the dirt... had an absolute f**king ball tho!! :D:)

steve its to late to miss mc just get out the 100kph tape and lets go

Hmm, might need a bit more than some 100mph tape and cable ties - otherwise I would have dont that already

    • 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?
