Start car, better with a mate, so he can blip the throttle.

Take your oil filler cap off and see if it is breathing heaps = indicates blowby = rings/liners worn. Keep a rag handy,so you can half cover the hole just in case it starts to spit oil.

Do it with a couple of cars if you can so you can see the difference.

And by breathing ill audibly hear air in the system? or it will blow oil around?

Ill give it a crack.

Apparently grabbed another gauge for the second test. I'm getting further tests out of curiosity. Leak down etc. And as previously mentioned.

If no good... Say hello fg xr6t. It's s bit of boat... But NEW

I agree. I will be. Im no mechanic mate, but of all tasks how complicated is a compression test. Remove components, put the gauge in and kick it over. repeat. How many variables for f**k ups can there be.

But yeah I'll be doing it anyway

At WOT?

At WOT?

I can only assume. This is the general practice yeah? Ill ask specifics this arvo.

There just isnt anything from the factory that has the same appeal. Closest is a turbo falcon. But it honestly feels like your driving a bus in comparison. Plenty of poke though out of the box ill give it that.

before i bought my r32 gtr, i compression tested afew that realy appealed to me.

i took them for a nice drive to get the engine hot, then did the compression test at WOT

my gtr came up 160 - 162psi accross each pot...

different methods will get different results

yeah do the test at running temp for starters, and full throttle, keep the test consistent across the cylinders for example if u hit 3 compression strokes on the 1st cylinder, do the same for the other 5, dont just keep cranking until it stops going up. if your still not sure do a leakdown test it will tell you everything a compression test doesn't.

yeah test drove one and gave it heaps. Manual fg. Goes great. Sounds good too. I was well impressed, but that feeling faded fast when I got back into the old skyline and realised I still f**king preferred it. Makes parting with the 50k painful.

Be nice if those clowns at Nissan released something comparable...

a skyline is a performance car an xr6 turbo is just a family car with a turbo slapped on

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
