GTR33 Compression Test, high?? help plz!?

[GTR4ever]

Hi guys,

i have a stock 1998 GTR33 v-spec w only an exhust, filters & FMIC

last night ,i was changing my spark plugs, n i thought id do a Compression Test! so here are the readings:

6- 168

5- 175

4- 176

3- 172

2- 173

1- 175

according to the Nissan RB26 manual, it says that new it should be 171 psi and the lower limit should be around 128 psi..

is this normal? all the #s are a bit higher than stock ones, except cylinder # 6 which is kinda lower.(is that bad) ?

any ideas??

thanx

Figures look fine to me

did i mention it has close to 100,000 kms?

Most people say as long as the figures are roughly the same its fine - these figures look very similar so should be ok?

did i mention it has close to 100,000 kms?

ours was about 175 at all cylinders before the rebuild and engine was 75000klm old

Nothing wrong there it's fine.

if you have doubts check it again.

Make sure you'r doing it at WOT, so you get full compression on the guage as it take's a while to go up.

You have to crank it for a while, so its best to disconect injectors or coil pack's, and thoes figure's look fine

Better higher than low!

i just was wandering about #6 as it was a bit off the rest, but i guess its normal?

thanx alot felas

Ye nothin to worry about...

Ive seen cars makin good power wit 145psi across most cyl's, and urs is way above that!

Sounds like a good condition engine to me, not 100% sure why cyl 6 is lower but someone will give u reasons (ie Sydney Kid..) lol
