Ok here go's i had my RB26 built 19000km ago. It has been running well tell last week.

Coming out of a corner i put my foot down and when i let it off the Throttle it stayed reving so i taped it a couple of times. It stop reving i pulled over car sounded like a WRX so i turned if off. Frist thought coils when i went to check this the car wouldnt start. Took it back to the shop which built the motor and they told me that the comp test was 115,120,90,5,0,80 so thats bad. Anyway what would cause this so quick.the shop blamed the head until i said they rebuilt that too. So anyway what ever is wrong with the car was not their fualt LOL.

so could be???

Fuel pump

Rings

head????

what was done to the engine in rebuild

Block was bored, decked and acid bathed

bullet rods

forged pistons

stock crank with jun collar

kings race bearings

N1 oil and water pump

gates timming belt

head has bronze value guides(exhurst side only maybe)

Anyway thats the basics so what would cause the low comp and how dose it happen so qick

Thanks Brad

i bent the exhaust side if No 6 . had 0 comp... cant see it causing a reduction of comp like the other cyclinders

That would be because some of the valves are only slighly bent.

Bent valves - only for drivers who don't like rev limiters... or for dodgy engines with weak valve springs.

Many things that people can only guess.

You'll have to have it properly looked at for the correct answer

Yer know i just wanted to see what people thought it could be. so had a fair idea how much it was going cost.

Rev limiter was set at 8200 car has stock turbos running 11psi boost tuned by a power fc 251rwkws

Why don't you mention to them to remove the spark plugs and stick a worm camera in there to have a look, without having to remove the head.

This process have save me ten of thousand of dollars in pulling motor/heads off.

My guess is that she's gobbled the rear exhaust wheel.........its a brave man that puts ceramics back onto a new engine. :)

Yer brave i think word is dum. I will pull the exhurst off tomorrow and have a look as well as check the oil. i was just at the end of my buget last time.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
