HG on it way out get a comp test & dye test the coolant it could be your cooler but I doubt it. Any water in the oil? or are you loosing coolant?. Good luck.

Was hoping you'd chime in.... check the thread on the link i posted for the results.

Cheers

Oh LOL I missed that, my bad. There are heaps of other tests you could do like oil cylinders, pressure test cylinders, pressure test coolant etc etc but you know your down on compression anyway so heads coming off regardless. I would pull the head assess the damage then make a call based on actual costs. Replacing a head gasket is not a difficult job much easier than a manual conversion. Do it yourself should be no more than $1200.00 (if no other damage is found) Hope it works out ok.

You say its easier than a manual conversion.....?

What about removing the cams ect. and getting everything set up to TDC to start?

If i do another compression test is their anything I can do to see if its rings? I swear ive read something about adding oil?

You can do a leak down test this will tell you if its rings or valves that are leaking or if its leaking into the other cylinder, oil in cylinder will show an increase in compression if rings are worn. Search you tube there will be a how to video there. If you don't have access to compressed air it won't cost much to have a leak down test done.

under the cap wont reli reveal anything u reli need to pull botht he cover off and check the dip stick if u havent all ready

As I posted theirs been no signs of anything on the dipstick.... Anyway the heads coming off at the moment so we'll see what's found.

Got a new headgasket put in by simons-14 :-)

when he pulled the head the old gasket didnt have any visible leaks or anything, block tested fine.

New waterpump, flushed radiator and fresh head gasket and well see how it goes.

Exhaust manifold was cracked to shit though!

    • Yeah one of the first things I out in when I started having catch can filling up issues. Still prefer to empty 1-2 times a track day rather than every session
    • You'll find this link is probably more useful  Performance Turbochargers - Garrett - G GT GTX GTW Series Turbo TBG G35 1150 map may not even get added to my list depending on how it looks, the G35 1050 already is a mixed bag for making the numbers you would expect from the compressor map due to mismatch - I don't know how another 10lb/min of compressor flow is going to make that any better.   I've left out others for similar reasons as it's already getting quite big.   In terms of Precision, provide me with legit compressor maps for them and I'll do my thing   I'll add some more of the newer Xona Rotor options are they're pretty boss, I'd take a 68mm Xona over a G35 "1150" any day of the week - or Precision for that matter.
    • Ahh got it. Well maybe install a drain for the catch can somewhere down low and accessible like a wheel well too....
    • Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf
    • I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf
