Heya all i own a nissan skyline r33 GTST thats done about 100000 miles.

Now i recently done a compression test with it at full operational temperture and all the cylinders was about 120 PSI.

This is very low obvioulsy and when i put oil in the cylinders the rise in PSI was about 5 to 10 PSI.

Also with engine running there is no blow back atall from the dip stick or out the oil cap best engine i felt before.

So with the no blow back and only a max of 10 psi rise with wet compression test which means its still bout 20 to 30 PSI off a decent engine PSI i belive it has to be the valves.

Any input or experince from you guys would be great i just find it weird that all cylinders are evenish and it to be the valves thought they would be uneven if valves leaking.

Cheers :).

If it still puts the power down, as said above, I wouldn't jump into the rebuild right away... Enjoy her. Ive seen a few RB's with 180000+kms still unbuilt and still making nice power. Seriously, until its something major, or you plan to do some big performance upgrades, there is no point. When you do the rebuild you replace everything anyway, you don't reco it.

not had power test i dont think it pulls as hard as my last skyline thou and yea im still gonna use it just if it was just the valves thats nice and easy to take head of and regrind them and wouldnt mind doing that :) and i see as machining the head as hiding the problem really not dealing with it lol . gonna take rocker breather pipe off from inlet when get round to it see if it breaths heavy then or throws lots oil out due to its burning alot oil that could be the turbo thou .

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
