Hey Guys

Im looking at a skyline for sale. It has 12/95 Australian compliance plate. From what i know the series 2 only started in 96.

It has everything a series 2 has even the interior, passenger and driver airbag, series 2 motor. it has it all

i did a Nissan Fast check and the date on it is 01/96. it also has the AR1 colour code which is the Nismo red which im sure only came out in series 2.

Someone pleasee help !! i dont want to buy it and have troube selling it later because of the 95 compliance plate.

Thank you in advance

Compliance plate is when it was imported into Aus. The build plate is from Nissan with VIN number etc.

I don't know how it was complianced in Australia before it was even built? Is the front end Series 2? The seats are different fabric?

Thats my issue. it would have taken at least a month to come into australia. before it was complied here.

series 2 front, series 2 seats. series 2 rear, series 2 engine and the colour AR1 is a series 2 colour im sure of it.

the only thing i can think of is if it was a special order series 1.5 and when it came here someone changed the front to series 2.

Well that makes more sense. I don't see why not? It would be the very first production run of the series two. I doubt you'll have any trouble selling it because of the different series anyway.

In 95 it would have been a $40,000 car, would have been very expensive to import, if you were aven able to back then.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
