hey there everyone, I am looking at purchasing an rb26dett for my gts4. The compression test on the one i am looking at is as follows.

1:165 2:171 3:171 4:169 5:165 6:166.

Does this appear to be a healthy engine? Anyones opinion is greatly appreciated.

Cheers :D

A comp test is a good indication on engine health, but by no means a guarantee. Who tested it? If you (or someone you trust) wern't there for the test, the numbers don't hold much sway.

They're good numbers either way.

un bolt a cam cover and have a look inside... if it's black and gunky, then it probably havn't been serviced regularly. Pull the intake plumbing off the turbo's and check the turbo's for shaft play (too much side to side and in and out movement). You could also have someone pull the sump off and check/replace the main bearings, check the bore etc.

While it's out, look seriously at a larger sump and a new oil pump at a minumum.... and if you are going to do any other mods, do them while the engine is out.

Most 26's are getting quite old now and most of then need atleast a freshen up... Look at it seriously.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
