AS the topic states.

Anyone who did a comp test on their stock R33 before they modded it post it up.

I did mine recently before I threw on some mods. all mine had was the HKS from the turbo back with SuperDragger Exhaust. running stock boost etc. etc.

I got 175-175-175-175-175-175 all pots , I was definently pleased with that they were nice and even.

When I was chatting with a GTR owner recently he seemed to think that was incorrect. Or that my internals are not stock for that compression test.

So went back to my mates shop did another same result. Now he uses top quality snap-on equipment so I'm sure all the readings are correct.

Just wanted to do a Comparison to anyone elses results.

Mine got 175 with the throttle wide open, 160 with throttle closed r32GTR

8.5:1 compression RB26DETT

9.2:1 or something on RB25DET

So either you did test with throttle closed or you have a lower static comp ratio?

who are you talking about. ME. i did it with throttle closed i think. Humm will do again tonight. But the range is 1.2 MPa which is 175pis, that is NEW from facotry. Limmit is 0.9 MPa, so that is 130 Psi with 0.1 MPa differance between. So still sweet. My engine has done 80K so expect lower compresion.

BTW mine is for an R33 GTST 95 series

Thanks for the heads up GTRsean. Not sure if it was open or closed. all i know was car was off :ninja:

ill be doin another very soon, keen to check out if theres been any change since ive been driving around on 11psi for 2 months.

-cheers.

Videospace, were they done with throttle open?

And did oil get put in cyl to see if it was piston, rings etc?

32gtr rb26dett limits from memory are:

171 new

160 avg

125 limit

no more than 14psi variance,(146,160)

Yep. Idle is crap. When it is cold it misses a lot. When it is warm its very hard to tell there is anything wrong. The idle is still not brilliant when it is warm but otherwise the power is OK and everything else.

And yes the 6th cylinder was 150 too (sorry guys).

And yes we did try a "wet test" with a t-spoon of oil and the compression improved. Rings it is. Rebuild away! I am considering a swap with a R33 RB26.

so this test is around $70 and most car garages can do it? or do you need to go to a special place? Keen to see how my engine is doing. Might do one of those leak down tests too, someone mentioned above.

oh well vidospace, now you can build whatever engine you want.

N1 block ftw!! :P

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
