Do Nrma Do Compression Testing?

[Bakes]

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

Last time i was going to buy a car in NSW they didn't offer the service... (that was 1.5 years ago...)

most workshops will do it...

probably best off gettin a mobile mechanic to come do it. pretty straight forward, just make sure he has a GOOD quality guage, not a $40 supercheap special.

hope this helps

if it were me i'd get it checked out by a mechanic who specializes in imports, such as CRD, not the nrma. and yes CRD could do a comp test. don't expect CRD to be cheap though

Does anyone know what CRD will charge for the compression test?

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
