Guys i would really REALLY appreciate some help in this matter ... i've just put a deposit down on a skyline r32 (RB20DET) (i shouldve waited till after) he did a compression check on it today and the results are as follows:

1) 90

2) 95

3) 90

4) 90

5) 100

6) 95

They are pretty even, but i read around a bit and saw that it should be around the 150 mark? the car drives perfect and theres no smoke revving it up. Now what i'm thinking is that the compression check was done wrong? or are there different types of checks which u get different results with?

Please tell me what i should do as 10k is alot of cash for me. Should i get a leakdown test done on it again from a performance mechanic? What are the perfect results for that going to be like?

Thanks for the help guys!

Who actually did the test? if it's not done correctly you can get sh1t results. ie car should be warm

If results are still the same, squirt a bit of heavy oil down one of the cylinders and try again, if results are better then its rings, if results are still poor its valves and guides [and probably rings as well].

Yeah i doubt all 6 cylinder rings will be worn out, but my compression on Neo engine was all 150 mark, maybe rb20's are different cuz i read some other 32 reading real low around 100 as well. And also i know a mate who has a cylinder difference of 50psi from others and with a oil squirt it gets 170, which im assuming is the rings or the pistons itself however it runs perfectly fine and has great power on dyno without any loss so im confused to whether you should feel any performance loss or not lol

    • 65601-05U00 is the hood latch. 62550-08U31 is the support that holds it to the radiator core support. They are all super discontinued so I don't really have any great leads on how to source this stuff.
    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
