Hey guys 

I am new here.

i have an r33 sitting in my garage for the last 10 years that I start every now and then.

recently when start the car it just turns over like there is no compression, if I leave it and come back the next day it starts with a missfire for a few minutes and then runs on all 6 cylinders fine.

i performed a compression test (cold).  It had zero compression on cylinders 1 , 2 ,6 .

Has anyone else had this issue.

thanks 

steve

lifters or valve spring issue? 

Guessing it's not been driven under load or had fresh oil in that time? 

Best to remove cam and timing covers to inspect the valve train.

Yes that’s right, I changed the oil for the first time in 5 years a couple of weeks ago,  I was thinking of using an oil flush product in the oil to help.  
If that does not work I will start pulling it apart 

Bit of ATF if you have nothing else....

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
