I am looking at buying a used motor, the results of a compression test were

155,155,160,160,155, 160

Is this good?

What should they be?

A quick reply will be helpful

regards, Chris

Good to me, I remeber I did my RB25 when I first bought it and was 148 all round. I'm no expert but 155 vs 160 is only a 3% difference and probably within reasonble measurement error ????

yeah, will give you that mate :uh-huh: - maybe I should drop a RB25 in :)

RB20 will do me for now, hopefully some cams and head work with the new motor maybe? If the bottom end is in good condition, it will stay as is, 230rwkw for a RB20 with decent injectors etc should be no problem

Hopefully I can serve up a bit of a :rofl: to you and greg once its all together, but we'll see :) If I can run a 12 I will be stoked

Hey guys, don't mean to steal your post but what is a good measure for a RB25 turbo? thanks

Freebaggins RB25 was 148psi all round, that was a few years ago and its making around 265rwkw now, so it is still in good shape

      Interesting. My tuner said after the tune that my fuel economy would be better but it is the exact same from what I could tell even though my car was running rich before lol. How much do km do you reckon you get on a full tank of petrol on your commute?

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By PranK · Posted

      A little follow up here on the ceramic coating.  We've had storms galore here and I've done a few ks, enough to gross them up  Consensus is that they didn't get as dirty as usual, the coating definitely repelled a little of the dirt and I think they kinda snowball. They get a little dirty and then they get dirty faster which makes sense. Cleaning them regularly would allow them to protect better.  Cleaning was a breeze. I tried first to just hose them off which, unsurprisingly, did nothing. But, making the wheels wet and then just wiping them over with a used but clean microfibre cloth was all that was required. I didn't need any cleaner at all, just water and a cloth. The wheels look amazing again.

      Gave her a nice wash today and took extra time to clean off the tree sap and tar and crap. We have a usable garage now so she'll stay cleaner longer. Took a few snaps in some nice light afterwards.

      OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.
