Hi all,

Just did an oil change, pulled the plugs and did a compression test on my newly aquired R33 GTR vspec. I am very happy with the results.

All cylinders came in around the 180-185psi mark.

I've done a background check on the car and discovered that the engine is not the original one that was installed in the car. THe engine runs very strongly, and has great off boost torque. Cruises comefortably under 2000 rpm in 5th gear at 60k. Great boost response too making noticable boost at 2000 rpm in the taller gears.

It is possible that my compression test gauge is a little off, but I am wondering what the effect on compression is when running 0.020" and 0.040" oversized pistons are on compression tests.

Ive used this same gauge on an RB20DET and it measured 150-155psi, which sounds right for an RB20 so the gauge cant be that far out.

Thoughts anyone?

Cheers,

Ian

A guy just did a compression test on the forums (can't remmeber where the post is) he got 180 on all 6 on his 25. So i guess the reading on yours will be good. 26 and 25 wont vary too much.

Dam, so the higher cylinder pressure really isnt indicating anything....

I suppose knowing what cams are in it as well would also help work things out, cause overlap will effect dynamic compression and cylinder pressures. I'm taking the timing covers off tomorrow to check the condition of the belt and maybe see what kind of cams are in there.

Cheers,

Ian

yep all those things can affect the results, but generally they lower not increase it. Also how you do it generally lowers the readings too eg throttle not open, engine cold or battery dying.

171psi is max factory spec

Seen some wildy in-accurate comp test gauges. Some read 20 - 30 psi of what they should. Doesn't matter though as said above as long as all cyclinders read about the same. Just means you can't really compare the number to the factory manual.

Good ol super cheap china comp gauge FTL.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
