hi everyone how are you doing so i bought a nissan cefiro with RB25DET swap bone stock engine and have been using the car normal but sometimes hard for about 1 month and had never did a compression test, opened the oil cap or make sure if white smoke came out from exhaust long story short i went and installed standalone link ecu changed sparks plugs and did the 1NZ coil pack swap then started tuning the car at 9 psi when doing a load run the car build boost for 9 psi then at 4500 rpm it go down to 5 psi stopped tuning and when to do a compression test with the car warm all spark plugs out but not WOT dry no oil and it read 120-121-120-145-123-120 installed everything back and reved the engine white smoke came out from exhaust but no to much what does this mean and does the tuning had any effect ? thanks

Compression test is not flash but plenty of cars will go for ages like that. Loss off boost - check for leaks. Could be turbo on the way out. Why did you install a Link? Don't think you will make 500hp with an engine as tired as yours!

I gotta agree with you on that one - those compression numbers are not too healthy!

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
