theres so little friction that theres not a lot of wear on the tyres (relavitvely) but if you can put some cheapies on the back, do it.

We have raced 1 on 1 round the skidpan before, each person started half a track away from the other, and it was first back to the starting point after 3 laps, but it turned into a grip elimination race which was poo. Dont know if we will do it again. We do time trials for sure :P

does not sound like the video venue to me.

We are going to video as much as we can....

pete (aka revlimiterboy) will be back down to dorifto the track one handed again....

and I am in training so definatly count two cars from rockhampton.... Jays is a bit of an issue... have three cylinders and all.... don't know if the water will get into the hole in his piston....

anyway.... we are definatly in... no questions asked.... and we'll have a support crew big enough to rebuild a motor if needed.... should be fun... Is it worth going to broadwater for a cruise after the meeting.... I reckon it would be definatly worth a look but I hear the cops are gnarly these days.... not that we want to play up or anything....

and yeah hopefully there will be heaps of good video action....

looks like MRE has got the dorifto down to an art....

incase you can't tell I just can't wait to go playing legal dorifto for safe long amounts of time.... AWSOME>>>

hey slip...

are we still waiting on a date....

can you try to make sure it doesn't clash with the SR20 day...

actually... you should try to make it so that one day it's your wet skid day and the next it's the SR20 day....

just there is a huge crew coming from rocky and we are planning on coming down twice... but if it was at all possible that it could be just one weekend... it would be awsome... cause everyone would come from up here....

but yeah i understand it's all due to availability and maybe that means that some guys don't want to do both events so close together....

although from what I can make out MRE won't be scared...

just pete wants to go to the dry day....

a whole heap of us want to go to the wet day and it would be a shame that most of us can't make both....

just see what you can do slip... thanks a heap....

I am told it is at the end of march at willowbank raceway....

but please don't ditch your event because of it.... I really want to go to the wet day for the fun.... I don't like the idea of breaking my car in brissy and having to find a way home....

where as pete is totally hooked on the idea of destroying his new toy at the SR20 day..... go figure??!!

anyway.... I found out about it because it is on the events callander of the raceway.... I think MRE should be able to hook you up with some dates...

please try to organise them so they are the same weekend and there will definatly be some very excited rockhampton import boys cruising in brissy.... we would love to organise a saturday night cruise with you boys as well.... if we are going to be down there we better make it a huge weekend eh??? so if we can organise it all it would be tops.

I'd love to come and have a go but the almighty $$$ has a hold of my pocketbook (figuratively speaking) :) .... I'll probably come and spectate instead. I've been browsing the forum for a while now and have only met Slip so far.

Look forward to meeting everyone...

    • 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?
