well my engine has decided to pack it in, cutting a long story short was racing at willowbank on saturday and on the 3rd runs clouds of smoke came out and compression tested the cylinders last night, and.....1-75, 2-145, 3-145, 4-145,

5-30, 6-145

The engine still ran but was noticeably down on response, turbo was abit dull in normal driving and the car idled abit lumpier and deeper. So thats my hassle at the moment

What's done is done though, i understand your pain - but you've got to look ahead. No miracle is going to fix that cylinder compression. When i break something, i look at replacing it with something better. You say you have limited funding? Grant this an excellent opportunity to learn mechnics and build your own car!

This might make you feel better about your situation:

But you know, don't take it to heart. Some people out there don't have somewhere to sleep or something to eat.

only 2? thats soft.

I just blew 3 cylinders the other week... 1-2-6 :rolleyes:

Just pull the car off the road, and rebuild it properly when you have money.

Best not to cut corners when making a motor.

I'll post up when my motor gets done, i've got a budget of 7k so we'll see how it goes and what i get out of it.

      Import insurance in 2025

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      from an old insurance company i was with (Budget Direct) I had someone roll back into me at the lights got them to pull over. Got a picture of thier licence with address, had a dash cam video and, thier phone number. But only had 3rd party on the shitbox i was driving. insurance did nothing, cops wouldn't do anything due to the value of the damage (under $3000) so i just had to suck it up and go to U Pull It.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      Small Update on the Exhaust Situation A 200-cell cat was a bit too expensive for now, so I had the exhaust shop fabricate a new exhaust from the cat to the rear and an exhaust tip. I went this route to avoid cutting into the original exhaust and keep it intact. It’s essentially straight-piped, and the sound is noticeably different. The exhaust tip came with a silencer, so if it gets too loud, I can easily install it to tone things down slightly. Right now, the car bangs and pops like crazy -- which I personally love. In the future, I might add a resonator or a 200-cell cat, as niZmO_Man suggested, but for now, I’m really happy with how it turned out.

      And that's a massive problem, because deadshits will deadshit and give you false details. At least in these days of mobile cameraphones, it is trivial to take photos of any ID they are carrying at the same time as the 300 photo extensive documentation of the state of the vehicles that I recommend even for minor incidents. And you get photos of the person's face, any visible tatoos, etc etc, while you're at it. Then you try to avoid mentioning that you're fully capable of making explosives of various power levels and will wreck their shit if you are forced to hunt them down.

      No, I don't remember the exact reasoning (was 20 years ago!) but the cops didn't end up supplying it to us either. Actually my mother went through a similar thing recently where she was hit when stationary, flustered and didn't get address (she got plate details, name, phone and insurance company, but not address). Person who hit her blocked her number and their insurance company (naturally) would not provide any details. Her insurance company also required her to pay the at fault premium because she did not have the address, cops did not help as it is a minor civil matter (they said their only course was if the other driver had left the scene of the accident without providing any details). She only ended up getting that refunded because they happened to be insured with Suncorp and she was with APIA so same company owners. For some reason the address is critical in insurance companies recovering money from the at fault party

      If you're driving something like an R32 through to R34, no chance of meeting Euro4. Euro4 came out in 2006, and car manufacturers back then were complaining how hard it would be to meet those regulations. Not a chance a vehicle 10 years earlier is going to be compliant.
