Stagea 260Rs

[THRLLR]

:cool:Hi All,

I am looking at buying a 1997 series 1 Stagea 260rs with 100,100kms on the clock. I believe it runs R33 GTR running gear. I got the car inspected and almost all the results came back good. It was misfiring on one cylinder and the inspector said that it was probably either the plugs and/or coilpacks. He advised me to get the engine comp tested to make sure.

Unfortunately i dont know if the comp test was done warm or cold,

but i would like to know if these results are ok?

Are they acceptable considering the age and number of kms on the engine?

Results:

C1: 145

C2: 145

C3: 150

C4: 150

C5: 150

C6: 145

It seems that they've also put in Platinum plugs into the engine when the comp test was done. I dont know if the plugs were put in prior to the test or after. Actually i dont know what brand they've used either.

Can someone tell me what are acceptable/average comp test results for R33 GTR engine both Cold and Hot, pls??

should be around 160psi and no higher than 170psi across all cylinders.

should also be done with the engine warm.

so if it was done warm - then its slightly down but not anything to worry about. if done cold, then its probably right on.

one thing to note is that there is no large discrepencies across the cylinders either which suggests decent health.

looks pretty healthy to me for a 100000klm car. Missfire could be a lot of things, but most of all it is a chance to bargain the price down. whatever it is, it is probably not expensive or internal.

145 to 150 is fine. With an engine that old as long as its not way low (sub 130) all you want is even numbers.

Yes an Autech 260RS is an R33 GTR with a really fat ass. Engine, drive train and suspension are all R33.

So far the only real issue i've had using R33 parts is that i found the location of the power steering fluid reservoir is on the strut tower rather than the rad support.

It got pretty tight when fitting the Greddy suction kit.
