I thought you had a compression tester but didn't have a leakdown tester , if you dont have one give me a p.m. let me know where you are and i maybe able to help you.

More oil on catch can ....... not good news , check for blow by as well .

I hope you havent busted it ....but it doesn't sound good ..

Why is that pred? It pinged it arse off.

just the short period of time it was run like that.. I've had a couple of cars ping for a little bit whilst under load (even quite audible, backed off of course), and its never resulted in cracked rings or things like that .. months and months on. Other cars too.

I'm just thinking that if it is in fact a failure, some other underlying weakness over time??

I agree with predator on that one.....mine has pinged a few times quite noticely too ie you can hear it distinctly with in the cabin and mines still going strong.

Might have been some underlying problem that went undetected....either way hope you get it fixed mate....

hmmm NEO RB30.......

It's blown.

number 6 has half the compression of the rest.

Interestingly, when we did the leakdown test one of the other cylinders was in pretty bad shape also and that wouldn't have been from the incident.

I've decided not to go the RB30 because of the clearance issues. I do not want to remove my strut brace or drop my subframe. One messes with the cars handling and the other is plain dodgy. If I put a Greddy front facing plenum on and got a new intercooler to suit it might be ok but I just don't have the money for that.

Are you ready to help me remove and refit an engine Ed? ;)

Big thanks to wrxhoon for the help in diagnosis yesterday. I appreciate it mate.

Has anyone got an engine hoist they're not using for a little bit?

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
