ive seen r33's averaging around the 160psi mark.

Two r32's i had tested were around the 145psi~

Make it clear that deposit will be refunded if any (minor/major) mechanical/structural damage will be found. The mechanic should tell you condition of engine after compression AND leakdown test.

when looking for my R33 in australia (before i decided to import my own) i spoke to merli a lot on here...he gave me a lot of useful info on what to look for.

going by what he said, 120psi on all cylinders, thats rebuild time :(

he told me anything under 135-140 and you'd be lookin to rebuild soon after purchasing...

but everyones giving you all these facts, and you still seem to want it..so u want it that bad, get it

Ok heres the heads up. I put a deposit on the car last night so that they would hold it for me, I had to because the there were other people interested in it and 1 guy was willing to pay the full amount and get it as soon as possible. I believe him because on the weekend when I was looking at cars there was another guy looking at the car as much as I was.

I never delt with the salesman shane. Im dealing with a mechanic who does the compliance, mods etc... for Shane. People at my dads work have baught cars through this guy and they only had good things to say about him (mabey thats why my dad is so insistant on me going throught this guy)

The car is getting 120psi on all cylinders. Im still going to take it to someone else and get it checked out.

Good luck and hope it checks out OK.

You should have told us alot of people you know have dealt with him.

He needs to honor all his waranties or he will get alot of backlash ,.

:(

funkymonkey the VIN number is 216083A

that dosen't seem right... the original VIN will be on a blue plate in the engine bay usually looks like "ECR33-123456".

Atreyu - tyre kickers come with the territory. It took me 10 months to sell my Lexus and I wasnt appealing to a younger generation dominated market. I carefully priced mine after the first month, 2nd from bottom of all ad's I could find. I still had people offering me 20K for a car that was up for 27/28K. Other Lexus' of a similar age and much higher km's were 30K plus.

It pisses us all off but as a buyer, people try their luck. Definately no need to get fired up though, you could quite legitimately have questioned the statement though as you wouldnt want it hampering any future sale. :thumbsup:

I know Saff Cossie. I think Im just over it. Cheers anyway.

DivHunter, no hard feelings. I know where your coming from.

Can you please delete what I posted and you copied in your reply?

Cheers!

brand new and from the manual the compression on a RB25DET is 1.2 MPa or roughly 175psi.

The variance limits between cyl is 0.1Mpa or ~14.5psi.

The service limit is 0.9MPA or 130psi

thats pretty much explains it all IMO.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
