Hey guys,

Im in need of some help, im actually from brisbane and im in the market for a GTR and i have found one that i really want. Basically i got it inspected with the usual compression and leak down tests completed etc and it failed how ever the owner of the car feels that the inspection is not accurate and is happy for another inspection. He does not mind where the car is taken he just believes that it deserves another inspection, as it has already cost me $250.00 for the first inspection im really hoping that this next inspection is more accurate. So what im asking is if anyone feels that they are mechanically capable or knows of anyone that is onto it when it comes to GTR's than i would appreciate your help im willing to pay what ever is required to get this car checked out im really desperate as im on the other side of australia.

You posted this thread in the W.A section so I assume that you are buying a GTR from over here?

If I were you I'd look in the consolidate workshop thread and find a workshop that is close to the dude and get them to do a compression test etc..

If it was checked by a reputable workshop the first time around and failed, why would a 2nd test be any different beside you spending more money?

If your so keen to have it re-inspected, as Lukas said check the consolidated workshop thread

If he is so convinced it is ok, you tell him wear to take it and he can pay and if it comes back ok then buy it??

Sounds fair to me....

Just make sure you get it i some were reputable that you can/will trust and that they can back up there claims in writing....

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
