Hi, I’ve got a r33 with a rb25 neo engine fitted. Just had a compression test done as it is running a bit rough and it come back with poor results ( cylinder 6 as low as 60) is there anything I could check that could be causing this before I suspect the worst.

Could be lucky and could be cam timing related. But if one cylinder is alot lower than others that won't be the case.

If one cylinder is substantially lower than others its head off at the least. Options are burnt valve, blown gasket, damaged piston.

What were the results of the comp test?

cold/warm?

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking now.

cyl 1-160, cyl 2-150, cyl 3-120, cyl 4-140 

cyl 5-100, cyl 6-60

just took covers off now and checked valve clearances and all seem fine except cyl 6 exhaust side is at .35 instead of .5 which might have a little to do with it but not that much I wouldn’t think 

cam timing is all good

      Grind them off, drill them out. Repair any rust on the other side. Start again from scratch.

      Power steering pump r32

      Thanks Mate, I did know you could do that but i know there is a pump out there that you can bolt on and it all lines up. I was told about it and then forgot the model, I figure if i am pulling it apart i will just put a new one on

      You can also remove the veins from the HICAS portion of your existing pump.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By DatsunBanana · Posted

      Trying to swap the rear subframe on my R34 and can't remove the L-shaped stay brackets between the front subframe mounts and the sill/chassis. I'm in the UK so rust is a problem. I've used loads of WD40 and then Tunap 103 for days beforehand. I backed off the bolts forward a bit, backward a bit repeatedly for ages to try and avoid snapping. They have all moved a few full turns. The one I've spent most time on has come loose and I can turn with fingers, and it will pull down and push up 2-3mm. But it won't come out. I can tighten it back up and loosen it off again repeatedly but it still won't come out. I assumed there's a captive nut inside but if that's broken loose then I can't understand why I can always tighten the bolt back up - I'd expect it to just spin both ways. Any ideas what's happening here? I can't visualise what's inside there to cause this.
