is it my rings?

1'2'3'4'5 are 175, throttle flat

number 6 is 110?

put 5ml of oil in number 6 went from 110psi to 130

put 5ml in number 5, went from 175psi to 205psi

are their any other tests i can do?

low kilometre standard engine

Could be rings, but you'd expect a much bigger improvement on #6 than on one of the good cylinders on the wet test. So on that basis you'd expect a BHG or bad valve or something else (like all the bad options like a cracked piston, cracked head, etc etc). Valve most likely.

warm the car up, and test it again.

i once had a cyl read 80 when the rest were 130, then i tested it again 2 weeks later and that cyl was back to normal again. have no Fn idea why.

tested it after i purchased new engine internals btw. guess they were not needed... at least for a few months after when something else let go

DISCLAIMER: I may be wrong (If I am please someone correct me, I love learning about this shit)

Your wet test results showed a bigger improvement on a normal cylinder (weird right?). This suggests that your cylinder bore in #6 is likely okay; it points towards head gasket problems or something in the head.

I'm no guru but I'd be checking for symptoms of head gasket problems first as they stick out like a sore thumb.

edit: also I just wanted to mention that those comp. numbers sound a bit high. Anyone else think the same?

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
