:cool:Hi All,

I am looking at buying a 1997 series 1 Stagea 260rs with 100,100kms on the clock. I believe it runs R33 GTR running gear. I got the car inspected and almost all the results came back good. It was misfiring on one cylinder and the inspector said that it was probably either the plugs and/or coilpacks. He advised me to get the engine comp tested to make sure.

Unfortunately i dont know if the comp test was done warm or cold,

but i would like to know if these results are ok?

Are they acceptable considering the age and number of kms on the engine?

Results:

C1: 145

C2: 145

C3: 150

C4: 150

C5: 150

C6: 145

It seems that they've also put in Platinum plugs into the engine when the comp test was done. I dont know if the plugs were put in prior to the test or after. Actually i dont know what brand they've used either.

Can someone tell me what are acceptable/average comp test results for R33 GTR engine both Cold and Hot, pls??

not too bad, depending if the engine was warm or cold, a leak down test would have been better, is the missfire there all the time or is it only on boost

missfire was there all the time but i havent test driven the car since the car got tested. so i will need to drive it again and see if its still misfiring.

I'll call and find out if they can do a leakdown test for me also and find out whether the comp test was dry or not.

Coil pack : most likely

injector : possible

wiring : maybe

Comp tests vary with throttle open and closed too. You get a higher reading with foot on throttle 100%.

And a leak down check will give you a more accurate result.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
