Compression Test For Gtr R33

[Mikeyz]

Hi guys,

Can anyone recommend me a place that does compression test for a good price. I'm thinking of buying a gtr r33. Cheers

If a place won't do u a compression check for free. Then go somewhere else. It's so easy to do. U can buy it from super cheap for $20 and is easy to check

Oh really? Thanks mate! I'll check with super cheap!

Ideally a leak down test & comp test is what you wanna do, that's several hours easily logged and a few hundred.

Also take it to a proper panel shop for a good look over of previous repair/damage etc.

Just in pre-inspections you'll easily mince $500 IMO if you are doing it right and getting it looked over correctly.

You expect a workshop to do something like that for free?

It's not a 5min job! You'd be looking at an hour labour at least and doing it with one person would be a mega PIA especially if you are doing a double take for sanity.

But yes you can buy cheap ones - DIY isn't too hard, but its also easy to get wrong and think a motor is in worse/better condition than it actually is.

This...

Even if it was a 30 second job, workshops aren't there to work for free...I think it's pretty rude everytime someone comes past my workshop and wants us to press off a bearing or show them how to do something, with no intention of ever feeding a cent into the business. Existing/regular customers wanting free help...bit of a different story.

Almost as bad are the people who call up asking for step by step instruction on their own repairs or what the second hand gearbox they just bought is...fuck off!
