A small question for the wise and experienced of you out there.

It looks as if I have finally found a tidy Skyline to be my new wheels.

As I am new to turbo engines, I have tried to listen to all of the wise words spoken on here. :P

I am going to arrange a compression test before parting with my cash. Can anyone tell me what sort of compression numbers a stock R33 GTS-T engine from 94 should produce??

I realise they should all ideally be the same or very close to each other, but as a guide can anyone tell me what values I should see??

Cheers.

D.

Units = MPa/rpm

RB25DE

Standard Value - 1.26/300

Limit Value - 0.96/300

RB25DET

Standard Value - 1.20/300

Limit Value- 0.90/300

RB26DETT

Standard Value - 1.18/300

Limit Value - 0.88/300

Varience limit between cylinders - 0.10/300 all above angines.

* Values from the Nissan Service Manual.

Get a cylinder leakage test.

Will give a better indication of engine cond.

Have had an engine recently that had acceptable compression variance but the leakage was up to 70% on 2 cylinders.

cheers

As far as i understand it, it involves pumping compressed air into each cylinder at TDC and measuring the amount of air thats bled off as a result of leakage through either piston rings, valves or head gasket. This provides a true full load compression test and can more accurately guage ring wear in particular.

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
