guys,

im in a bit of confusion....i bought my r32 skyline bout 6 months ago. the guy i bought it off said he has the motor rebuilt with forged pistons, rods. The turbo is a GCG high flow, fuel reg twin plate clutch, r33 gear box. front mount...bla bla.

Now i bought it with std ecu as the previous owner took out the powerfc...i said i didnt care..BUT I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT IT WITH IT!! FARK...

i saw the dyno sheet...he produced with the above setup plus poiwer fc on 15psi 230kw roughly done by CNV performance. i havent got the sheet now but yer. with my understanding the GCG highflow can handle roughly 20 psi -22psi... am i right?

anyways to the point....

i did a compression test on the engine 2 months ago and got a reading or 146 145 146 146 147 146, now to me if the engine is warn out then yes the compressions would be low but different. So when taking into account with the guy saying the motor has been rebuilt...would he have put a different head gasket on it to reduce the compression???

what u guys think? i haven got the guys number...otherwise i would ring the nob...

any help would be great...

thanks,

daniel

Comrpession is fine - look for variance, not absolute figures, because that varies.

That was the worst mistake you made in not taking the powerfc. Did you try and skimp him, by making a low offer so he goes yeh, you can have it but i'm keepign the powerfc?

Now you have to buy a powerfc (1500$) + 500 for a tune - 2k.

You get what you pay for.

yer well...he wanted to take it out anyways coz he had another use for it or sumthing....spewing now.....

NOW...i know that the figures are all exact, im asking is it a std head gasket u reckon? or after market thing..u know the ones that u use to reduce compression or watever...

so yeh...wondering??? wat u think?

cheers for the replies boys

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
