Im buying a R34 GTR soon. I want to get a compression test done to make sure all is sweet with the motor (and because as you all know, the "TRUE" klms travelled by the car is nearly always a mystery with these cars.

Do NRMA do compression testing if I send them to the car or is this something that has to be done at a workshop?

If NRMA dont do it, would Croydon Racing Developments or someone like that do it?

(please excuse my ignorance on compression testing)

Thanks

my opinion, if you know what compression your looking for in each cylinder any mechanic can do it, no need 2 pay someone more for the same thing. As said above just make sure they have a good quality accurate guage

just my 2 cents

b4 I bought my car, I got it compression tested by Nathan @ grey imports. The seller was happy to take it there, it didnt take long. I just payed over the phone via card and they called me up and told me the result. I used this guy as quite a few on SAU have used Nathan to do compression tests. FYI it came up with 165 on 5 cylinders and 162 on the one, which was a really good result, Nathan said it was a well looked after car. Let us know the results

EDIT: it cost $100

      Good to know, I feel like I am in for a rollercoaster ride that looks like a sine wave.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      By uchoa · Posted

      Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?

      Hello! I had a mid life crisis on a budget and coincided with the R34s being legal in the USA. And now I am here, with it having old car problems and me slowly hoarding parts to start building it to what I envision. Essentially I made a mistake, that lead me to join this forum filled with legends.
