: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.
