Message After trouble shooting many different things and eliminating them i think i have come to the end of the road with my Z... I have a compression tester, and my numbers are about 100psi on all cylinders... either my gauge is broken or i'm well below specs...

this has me super depressed.. i have put a lot of heart into this car... [ http://www.my-mods.com/view_vehicle.php? ]|=1&vid=33&vehicle=1993-Nissan-300ZX-TWIN%20TURBO

It has a complete Jim Wolf setup...ecu, tein suspension, stop tech breaks, dual pop chargers.. man i put a ton of money into this car. My friend who does most of my mechanic work has told me i might be over reacting but, if my compression tester is telling me and the write-up that i read on compression the absolute minimum i need is 121.... i'm at 100 across all 6..

i'm starting to think..... my rings are gone... the engine still runs... just no power.... :(

I hear pulling a motor on this car is a bitch... i have never done it myself... is there anything i can do to conclusively rule that the engine is toast?
