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.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
