Just wanted to share my comp test result. First time I done one and I kind of shit my pants as nothing would read past 60psi. Turns out you gotta crank for about 15 seconds as the motor seems to push the pressure up about 30psi each time it goes around.

Anyway these are my results

160, 155, 160, 155, 153, 153.

I don't know if 5 and 6 are of a concern but I do have to keep my eye on it all. The spark plugs looked fine. I was abit worried as the car has seen a couple of instances of +100 knock and a couple around the 90 mark.

For the noobs who are doing their first comp test, be careful. The engine is at operating temp when you start so your hands are prone to being seared. Also have another car with jumper leads hooked up to your car as the battery will go fair quickly. Crank it for about 15 seconds or position the gauge so you can see it in the cabin when it stops rising. Its not always easy to position it so you can see it so when you aren't sure just crank it a few more times. Remember to disable fuel.

Pistons and rings won't be expanded on a cold motor, valves and guides as well. You'll generally get lower readings and a lot more variation between cylinders. {lus as SargeRX8 says oil as well. Motor needs to be at operating temp - or at least very warm.

Because of the intake plenum design on the RB engines, lower compression in the last cylinder is normal as it's usually the "lean cylinder".

are you referring to Rb26's here with the front facing plenum or all RB's? (25 included- such as in the example of this thread?)

I can see this being the case with the FFP of the 26's but not 25's. I thought the symettrical plenum on the RB25's would avoid this?

More air into rear cylinders due to manifold design, and all cylinders get same amount of fuel= leaner air/fuel ratio at the back, more heat, more prone to det.

Nismo plenum fixes it. We just run a bit more fuel in the rear cylinders.

I would have thought that since the runners are further back, the air would be forced into the cylinders closer first but after thinking of it logically, the air would be gushing to the path of least resistance so it would be building up at the back of the plenum.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
