Hey guys,

Did a quick search and couldnt find wat i needed and im in a bit of a rush as the cars apart etc...

Ok so i just did a comp test and results are:

Cyl 1 - 165

2 - 160

3 - 160

4 - 155

5 - 160

6 - 170

As far as i know thats not too bad besides cyl 4 being a lil low. Anyone care to enlighten?

Ok next question. On cyl 3 and 4 there was oil underneath the coilpacks. Ive taken a pic to show wat im talking about. Now just last week i had it at tuners and he did a comp test, where upon he told me the compression was low but didnt give me the readings because he forgot. So i wanted to know how low and which cyls was low so i can diagnose the problem etc. Could he possibly have done a 'wet' comp test and this be spilt oil? Im not sure...

Next ques. One of the spark plugs had more black residue around the head than the others. Once again ive taken a pic. I think it was the 6th cyl sparky. Anything to worry about here?

Last question. The other reason i wanted to pull the car apart was because of a misfire my car seems to be having. Its got 5 splitfire coilpacks and 1 yellow jacket coilpack, reason for this one splitfire melted aand couldnt find an individual one to replace it. Anyone see a problem with this?

Now also the spark plugs that are in there are NGK V-Power R5671A-8 plugs. Im assuming the -8 means there gapped to 0.8mm? Are these good spark plugs for my mildly modded r33? This is why im in a rush, cuz if they not so good then i'll need to duck out and replace them while the cars apart....

So after all that i thnkyou for ANY help that is given.

Regards

Struggling noob....

fwiw heres my take on a couple of your probs. The oil in the valley is more than likely a leaking tappet cover gasket.

That black plug is probably telling you that is the cylinder that is causing your misfire prob. Check your coil pack on that cylinder or your loom.

Hope this is of some asistance to you.

Excuse me for my dumbness, but is a tappet cover the same as a 'rocker' cover? As wehn it was at the tuners he replaced teh rocker cover because it was leaking, so id be happy with that result :(

I will check over the coilpacks and wiring, just after i have lunch :)

Good man, any help is of assistance and ive generally got no idea...

Yes, same thing.

The compression is also fine mate, motor is a LITTLE tired but its fine.

As much is to be expected from an old motor, it will still do what an internally stock RB should do if you keep up the maintenance as you should.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
