do a compression test, if one pot is heaps lower or all your pressures are fairly low (my 33 gtr was 180psi and it seems to be a fairly healthy motor to me) you have a problem. If a piston is down or rings are badly worn you'll see a bit of smoke in you exhaust as well.

Did you really just go straight out and get a qoute to rebuild your motor with out doing some checks yourself?

How much boost do you run?

How often do you have your foot in to it and for how long? Through all the gears?

Do you have a catch can?

When you say alot do you mean like it drips out of the inlet pipe or just a dried film of sludge that comes off when you touch it?

alot as in its wet about 200 ml or so in the pipes, 1.2 bar of boost no catch can, usualy not to bad driving it when i race ill go all the way, im thinking they are worn cause it doesnt blow to much smoke and if any could be because its running rich.

and no i didnt just go out and get a quoated, it was froma while ago when i wanted more power.

Im just trying to be relistic, genenerly i look after the car, oil changes every 5000k and is hardly driving now, but theere is a clicking sound coming from the head around the 3rd cyclinder(NOT INJECTORS) and i have never lost powercar made 289kw at the rears on 14psi with ****ed spark plugs, and now goes even better after getting my dump pipes.

any idea is much apriciated.

But i will be getting a compresstion test to sus everything

    • You’ll want to have the block drilled and tapped to suit 1/2in head studs and the head for the same. How much power do you intend to make?
    • Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership
    • And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.
    • No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.
    • Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.
