The Sa Wasteland

[Tangles]

nice, hope it fires well.

replaced the broken wheel stud, r32 gtr calipers are a good bolt on upgrade for stag's.

brakes work well, a little noise atm but all should be good

[KISIN]

anyone know of any places that do automotive CAD stuff? (design a 3d model of a car)

[Madaz]

um do it yourself

i read somewhere all you need is blue prints and a 3ds program

no skill or time....

[Madaz]

ah that does present a problem

there are people on SAU that can model but don't know your chances i guess if any see this they would PM you if they could

[nicr4wks]

Anyone able to quickly post up what compression readings a rb25det should be reading? Found a pdf saying 12.2kg/cm2 but thats not what my gauge reads in

[Madaz]

150psi is good

i think the last reading i got from mine was 135-145 across all 6

might have to start a topic for it then, sometime soon

Guess my 88 and 90psi readings are fair off then

[Madaz]

wow yeah

Woooo! Another member of the low-comp club.

low compression = run more boost = win

[D_Stirls]

RB25 run 9.0:1 static compression standard and have slightly higher compression figures because of that. Of a healthy engine you should be looking for 160-170psi. As long as they are all within 10-12psi it should be fine but with 90 psi you will be down a fair bit on power.

EDIT!!

Here's the figures from my manuals;

1.20 MPa = 12 BAR = 176.4 psi

1BAR = 14.7 psi

Standard: 176.4 psi

Limit : 132.3 psi

Difference between cylinders: 14.7 psi

Ive got between 80 - 92 psi on all 6 lol

just wants to say Adrian and Jarrad are awsome

just wants to say Adrian and Jarrad are awesome

ahhh... but there can be only one.

HEEEEEERE WE BELONG...

need some advise,

the fan that sits onfront of the rad has the mesh around it..

does that need to be connected? mine is running consistanly and is pissing me off..

can i disconnect it?

thats the aircon fan mate, confirming you're talkin about the one thats in front (and by front we'd mean closest to the front of the car) of the radiator?

if so, definitely a/c fan, and its probably still sitting in front of the aircon radiator anyways (have you gone that extensive when the actual radiator was out, and get the other radiator (which tucks in under the rad support panel) out?

[rad100]

i still have all the air con connected.. but i NEVER turn it on...

just in the last week the fan has been on everytime i start the car..

wont turn off so i was wondering if i can unplug it?

[craig R33]

yes, so long as you dont run the air con with it unplugged!!
