ey guys,

did a compression test today, however, i disconnnected every hose when i removed the intake manifold and removed all the spark plugs, then i performed the compression test.

Cylinder:

1. 146 PSI

2. 145 PSI

3. 147 PSI

4. 145 PSI

5. 146 PSI

6. 145 PSI

i dunno wat the go is.. And is this the way u do a compression test or not? by removing all park plugs and then cranking it?

ok....so keep all plugs in, take one out, test it, then put it back it, then take the next one out and test it yer? do i loost compression when all spark plugs r out? coz i just cranked it till it popped...

Depends on how your gauge reads dude. A lot of low qual gauges about that read way off.

Also rb20 donk is fairly low comp I'd expect 130 - 150.

You look more for variation. The readings on your engine are awesome !!

around 150psi is normal for the age the engine,manual specifies 170psi with the limit value (lowest) 128psi, the variance limit shouldnt be more than 14psi beween cylinders

u should have the engine close to operating temp at least, remove ALL plugs, attach gauge to cylinder (screw fitting is the better ones), depress pedal FULLY u must have WOT, crank till needle stops moving which should be about 7 engine revolutions, then record ur readings,

urs seem good not much variation which is good

im not sure if the readings will be lower or higher when stone cold as i have only done it when at operating temp.

maybe someone can verify that as my engine is not finished yet to be running

cheers,

brad

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
