Forgies or not.. It doesn't matter. What matters is what comp ratio the given piston returns.

Cam timing, engine temp, piston/bore clearance and the gauge its self all vary the read out.

Mine with was up over 150psi in all cylinders, all exactly the same apart from cyl 3 or was it 4!? :laugh: that was only 1psi down. BUT the motor was stone cold.

I'm just about to give it another comp test *with the same guage* after 50,000km's so it shall be interesting how it comes up.

Raa told me 5 percent in their little box on the report. whatever that means. RB25Det was at 125,000kms. enlighten me...
Probably the compression results are within 5% of one another which is acceptable but, they should've still provided a reading for each cylinder in their report. Results for a stockish RB25DET in good condition are generally between 140 - 170psi(newish engine).

Its just a comp guage with 5 little lines between the big numbers. :( I crank until it stops moving.

Unsure on the brand have never taken notice. The old man bought it many years ago, he's not one to buy cheap, he always spends the little bit more to get the better one.

The guage reads out both in bar and psi.

I'm not concerned on the actual final number as it doesn't mean a lot, I'm just stoked how spot on each cylinder is. :D

The old rb20 varied by 5psi when it had supposively done 67,000km's.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
