A leak down test is an option that some use, however it is quite time consuming. (Plenty vids on You Tube)
I prefer just to carry out a normal compression test followed by a controlled wet compression test as it is quick, accurate and efficient.
A dry compression test as per the video will not provide the information that you require to establish if the piston oil rings are worn or broken.
The compression test will only provide the condition of the compression rings or valves which have absolutely nothing to do with oil consumption.
Sam,
I have an SSV 350z DE Kinetix Racing Velocity Manifold Intake Plenum which came of my 350 DE when I upgraded to the Cosworth plenum.
Half the price of new.
Drop me a PM if you are interested.
Alex.
Is that a Pro-charger C2 ?
First vid noise is a combination of bearing and bolt rattling off body.
2nd vid is bearing failure.
If Pro-charger it will have to go back to them for recon.
If you require an introduction to Pro-charger let me know as I have contacts within.
Alex.
Brembo brake conventional method is NSR-OSF-OSR-NSF
Remember 2 nipples per caliper and do not let the master cyl. reservoir run dry.
Never used a vacuum bleeder on the 350/
Yes your diagnosis sounds about right.
Get them to fit a new slave and a braided after market line and also some high temperature clutch fluid.
If you lift the pedal it will probably spring back to correct position.
