Heya all i own a nissan skyline r33 GTST thats done about 100000 miles.

Now i recently done a compression test with it at full operational temperture and all the cylinders was about 120 PSI.

This is very low obvioulsy and when i put oil in the cylinders the rise in PSI was about 5 to 10 PSI.

Also with engine running there is no blow back atall from the dip stick or out the oil cap best engine i felt before.

So with the no blow back and only a max of 10 psi rise with wet compression test which means its still bout 20 to 30 PSI off a decent engine PSI i belive it has to be the valves.

Any input or experince from you guys would be great i just find it weird that all cylinders are evenish and it to be the valves thought they would be uneven if valves leaking.

Cheers :).

If it still puts the power down, as said above, I wouldn't jump into the rebuild right away... Enjoy her. Ive seen a few RB's with 180000+kms still unbuilt and still making nice power. Seriously, until its something major, or you plan to do some big performance upgrades, there is no point. When you do the rebuild you replace everything anyway, you don't reco it.

not had power test i dont think it pulls as hard as my last skyline thou and yea im still gonna use it just if it was just the valves thats nice and easy to take head of and regrind them and wouldnt mind doing that :) and i see as machining the head as hiding the problem really not dealing with it lol . gonna take rocker breather pipe off from inlet when get round to it see if it breaths heavy then or throws lots oil out due to its burning alot oil that could be the turbo thou .

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      One of the things that never seemed right was the handbrake. Put in some nice new Project Mu shoes. We figured the rears were out, so why not. We're right there. My handbrake never worked well anyway. Well, this is them, 15km later. 67fdcf94-9763-4522-97a4-8f04b2ad0826.mp4 Keen eyes would note the difference in this picture too:   And this picture: Also, this was my Tailshaft bolts: 4ad3c7dd-51d0-4577-8e72-ba8bc82f6e87.mp4 It turns out my suspicions that ne side of the handbrake cable was stretched all along were pretty accurate, as was my intuition that I didn't want to drop the tailshaft to swap them on jack stands and wasn't entirely sure about bolt torque. I have since bought the handbrake cables which have gone in. I'm very glad that I went to my mechanic friend who owns an alignment machine to get an alignment before the track day, because his eyes spotted these various levels of "WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE?". Turns out the alignment wasn't that bad, considering we changed the adjustable castor arms out for un-adjustable castor arms, and messed with the heights. Car drove pretty good with one side of the handbrake stuck on, unbleedable rear brakes, alignment screwy, and the tailshaft about to go flying and generally being a death trap waiting to happen! (I did have covid) (I maintain I adjusted the handbrake correctly, but movement caused shennanigans and/or I dislodged the spring on the problem side somewhat, or god knows what). G R E G G E D

      Very interesting, im not sure how all those complications fit in to running a haltech instead of a stock ecu but I'm starting to think I'm a bit out of my league.

      I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.

      Don't assume the AC relay signal from the ECU is +, some models including Stagea use an earth trigger.

      Hey good to see you on the forums! Haha Considering this cars past with electronic issues I am leaning towards it being a wiring fault somewhere in the engine bay. When testing the ac relay in the fuse box there was no earth trigger. I am probably going to try "bench test" the compressor by giving it direct ground and power to see if i can hear the ac clutch click otherwise I will be pretty sure I have a dead compressor. If it does work then I will be tracing some wiring it seems.
