Hey guys so I got the following on a cold compression test for my rb25det neo 150,000km not much history on services and maintenance as I've only owned the car for 2 months.( I also forgot to have the throttle wide open when doing the compression test) It read:

137

140

139

130

127

130.

 

I've attached20170828_180149.jpg20170828_175747.jpg20170828_175327.jpg20170828_175101.jpg20170828_174801.jpg20170828_173924.jpg some photos. Do I need a rebuild? Had a read around the website and seems the case.

 

Also the check engine light came on before this and I belive it's due to the coil packs being shot. It was under some load in a low gear, then it turned off down the road a little. I also have had a boost issue arise since it won't hit full boost and at 5000rpm this with a abrupt acceleration (no rolling on) it just hits a dead spot. but the power was feeling sluggish in general. However if I roll on it would hold boost but not like it use to. I'm not sure if this is coil packs or a boost leak picking up a friends compressor today. I also found quite a lot of oil in the intercooler so it's not looking to great any advice on the boost issue if other have experience it.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
