ive seen r33's averaging around the 160psi mark.

Two r32's i had tested were around the 145psi~

Make it clear that deposit will be refunded if any (minor/major) mechanical/structural damage will be found. The mechanic should tell you condition of engine after compression AND leakdown test.

when looking for my R33 in australia (before i decided to import my own) i spoke to merli a lot on here...he gave me a lot of useful info on what to look for.

going by what he said, 120psi on all cylinders, thats rebuild time :(

he told me anything under 135-140 and you'd be lookin to rebuild soon after purchasing...

but everyones giving you all these facts, and you still seem to want it..so u want it that bad, get it

Ok heres the heads up. I put a deposit on the car last night so that they would hold it for me, I had to because the there were other people interested in it and 1 guy was willing to pay the full amount and get it as soon as possible. I believe him because on the weekend when I was looking at cars there was another guy looking at the car as much as I was.

I never delt with the salesman shane. Im dealing with a mechanic who does the compliance, mods etc... for Shane. People at my dads work have baught cars through this guy and they only had good things to say about him (mabey thats why my dad is so insistant on me going throught this guy)

The car is getting 120psi on all cylinders. Im still going to take it to someone else and get it checked out.

Good luck and hope it checks out OK.

You should have told us alot of people you know have dealt with him.

He needs to honor all his waranties or he will get alot of backlash ,.

:(

funkymonkey the VIN number is 216083A

that dosen't seem right... the original VIN will be on a blue plate in the engine bay usually looks like "ECR33-123456".

Atreyu - tyre kickers come with the territory. It took me 10 months to sell my Lexus and I wasnt appealing to a younger generation dominated market. I carefully priced mine after the first month, 2nd from bottom of all ad's I could find. I still had people offering me 20K for a car that was up for 27/28K. Other Lexus' of a similar age and much higher km's were 30K plus.

It pisses us all off but as a buyer, people try their luck. Definately no need to get fired up though, you could quite legitimately have questioned the statement though as you wouldnt want it hampering any future sale. :thumbsup:

I know Saff Cossie. I think Im just over it. Cheers anyway.

DivHunter, no hard feelings. I know where your coming from.

Can you please delete what I posted and you copied in your reply?

Cheers!

brand new and from the manual the compression on a RB25DET is 1.2 MPa or roughly 175psi.

The variance limits between cyl is 0.1Mpa or ~14.5psi.

The service limit is 0.9MPA or 130psi

thats pretty much explains it all IMO.

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
