Hi guys

I couldn't find anyone locally to do a leak down test for me so i went ahead and bought a tester to it myself.

Couple things i want to verify tho....

I know the whole process of finding tdc using a piston stopper and whatever but....

Is there anyway of telling if the engine is on its compression stroke??? and if it is not, its just a matter of turning the crank 360* to get it there right???

Am i correct in saying that if it is on tdc on the exhaust stroke i should hear some leakage through the intake as well because the intake valve will be slightly opened already???

Also will there be any corresponding pistons that will also be at tdc on the comp stroke at the same time to make my life any easier? :(

Yes, if a particular cylinder is at TDC on the exhaust stroke, then air pressure will be leaking out the inlet valve as well (except perhaps R32 GT-R, which doesn't have any valve overlap).

The following pairs will be at TDC together, one on compression, one on exhaust:

1,6

2,5

3,4

On all GT-R RB26s, on the exhaust stroke, exhaust valve is actually closed at TDC, and inlet valve is just starting to open. So if you are at TDC ex, then pressure will be released through the inlet only.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
