afaik

Factory specs are 135-185 psi per cylinder and each cylinder being around 120 with an ~<5psi variance is decent for a >100,000km car.

Just means your car isn't in top condition, someone's had fun in it :D but it should be alright for a while (That's assuming my factory spec figures are correct)

i got mine checked it come out with all in the 120's but there all around them same  

broke that checked it said it was all good but that seems low to me is it ok

ingnore the other comments, outirght compression figures are not very relevant, as things such as how warm the engine is and battery voltage affect the outright figure.

what is important is that all figures are even, as it is unlikely that all cylinders have the same damage (if any).

usually a bad result would be say 5 cylinders having similar compression (within 3 or 4psi) and one cylinder (usually cylinder 6) having compression which is 25psi different.

as long as the figures are within about 3% from max to minimum its fine. so basically from what u explained the motor should be fine. if u really want to be sure do a leakdown test but that is usually only done if compression test turns out bad.

Knore's comment is sort of correct as most cars show compression around 155psi

they all got ok they got

1 124

2 125

3 125

4 123

5 124

6 125

is there a way to higher then compression

also i hear low compress means more lag

the tune is ****ed on the car so they r retuning the link computer the day i buy it they said thats y it is laggy and shit

they all got ok they got  

1  124

those compression figures are fine.

also the compression u are reffering to when u say it means more lag is something u cannot change. what u are reffering to is the compression ratio, ie. the relationship between the volume of air in the cylinder when the piston is at the bottom of its stroke compared to when its at the top.

u can make it less laggy with good tuning, although with a stock turbo it shouldnt be laggy either way.

    • Hi Apex and welcome! 
    • Probably too late to reply to this, but worth a try. It's not calliper flex, the calliper as a whole is moving so it has to be calliper mounting bracket flex.  Calliper mounting brackets are designed to stop the calliper rotating, they don't need to be designed heavy duty to stop the calliper moving in and out.  Whatever it is is not the major cause of poor pedal feel, the outer pistons are moving towards the disc rotor the same amount as the inner pistons are moving away from the disc rotor.  Hence no change in fluid usage, what extra fluid is needed to move the outer pistons is recovered from the inner pistons. For a calliper to move as a whole by far the most common reason is the rotor is not perfectly centred in the calliper.  The first thing I check is that hub face is perfectly clean, bare metal, where the rotor hats contacts it.  Then I check the that rotor is firmly held in place by at least 3 wheel nuts (or equivalent). If all of the above are confirmed to be in perfect alignment then I would check the piston sizes and ensure that the 3 inner pistons and 3 outer pistons have matching diameters (eg; 28/32/36mm).  I have seen a no name 4 spot calliper that had 1 of the 4 pistons a different diameter. Maybe I missed it, are both the callipers exhibiting the same problem? I would remove the transfer pipe and inspect it to make sure that there are no restrictions. Maybe you already have but if not I would return them with the video and have them confirm all of the above.   Hope that helps Cheers Gary    
    • If you have the original log book and it didn't have a chassis number quoted, then no money required.  I have "rechassied" a number of race cars, no problem as long as you have the original log book.   Cheers Gary
    • Well the good news is that it won't run any worse with an atmo bov than it does with no bov, I've owned a few Nissans over the years (r32, s15 and now r33), the stalling issue caused by a bov or no bov while still having an afm is easy enough to live with, most people get used to driving them and just feathering the throttle when you come to a stop to avoid it stalling. Changing to a proper ecu with a map sensor is ideal but in the short term I'd just slap in the bov if you really want the whoosh sound. I looked into the pass through type maf like the R35 one above but decided against it as the amount of oil and crap flowing through the hot side would mean you'd have to clean it often to keep it working.
