Got woken up by my mechanic with bad news today - the catch can, a 700mL coke bottle, is half full of oil. :D 18 months ago it was just slightly misty, so something may have happened internally since then. I haven't felt anything wrong with its performance, but apparently broken ring lands can be silent killers like that.

A compression test is being done to find out whats going on. Everyone think positive thoughts! :)

Gradenko can't afford a rebuild without a job. Hire him!

LOL - fair call on that one. :)

My ring lands on number 3 are on their way out, but not as bad as yours to throw out a heap of oil like that.

Maybe an rb25/30 conversion is on the cards for you? Would probably be cheaper than rebuilding the 25.. :D

I know exactly what you mean. If you want some help to do the conversion, let me know cause I'm interested in doing the same. :)

mmmm rb 25/30.. lotsa low down torque with good boosted high end.. :D

Compression test came back even, all cylinders between 125 and 130. Its lower than optimum, but that can be put down to normal wear and tear. Just glad none of the cylinders are dead :P.

The car hasn't been used in 4-5wks, so the battery wouldn't be at full charge and cylinder walls may be too dry to seal well. Could be a reason for low readings, yeah?

GTS-t VSPEC, leak down test would tell me more, but its generally the next step after a compression test, so one had to be done anyway. I'm fairly sure what leakage I have can be put down to rings.

adam 32, thats the plan :P.

    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
