hi there what engine/block parts do you still have left over? cheers.

any body :| ?

hallo. just bought an '89 gtr a few weeks ago, did an engine compression test, and its averaging about 142-145 accross all 6 cylinders. not exactly an impressive figure, but before i do anything in the means of modifications to the car, i wanna get it running the way it should do. self admitedly not the guru with cars, so i've come to this forum for some help/suggestions. - without looking at it, what are the usual causes of a below 'acceptable' engine pressure? I know that a decent platform to work from is the 160 mark, is that right? - what can be done to improve the engine pressure, along with rough price estimates. i know i have given limited solid information,so if there's anything else that would help you guys answer my query, then lemme know. cheers for you time.

thats what i tried to say :ufo: chekck your afm first, before you pay him to do the engine.

they get a hell of a lot of money just for forwarding emails, and for browsing yahoo auctions... btw - when you get your car finally here, get a professional or pay some one to look at it and tell you exactly what is wrong with it now, A friend of mine finally got his GTR from J-land - i wont disclaim the popular broker/supplier - ie who he went through with, they changed the oil, played around with the boost, then the engine started knocking reallly really bad, they put boost down to .6 thought that would sort it self out, then the engine died. The report from japan was the "runs very well and is in good condition" was even a grade 3.5. Now he needs a new engine... Dont kid yourself with 15 years old cars, they are 15 years old :| I was going to import a GTR myself, prices started to rise, so i was gonna settle for a hard ass GTS-T, but a friend told me of a friend of his who had a GTR, imported a few months ago, and was selling (he's an importer himself, so he changes cars like his undies). I ended up paying just over 20K, that was after a full inspection, brake overhaul, full service etc. About 1-2 weeks of just cleaning the car etc, the alternator dies, that was about 400$, air con gas became degassed magically(leak), nothing too major - and thank heaven not, because i was shitting myself over small things like that, let alone an engine rebuild. Luckily the bloke i bought it off is not dodge, he has been able to fix everything so far for it, no charge. But its gotten me real paranoid with the car So just becareful with your purchase, and remember that 15years old is a long time. Get it checked out properly, and be real honest with yourself. because if things **** up big, you gots to pay big Anyways good luck with your cars, heh the reason why i didnt import, is because i wanted it right there and now, after seeing the GTR i bought it less than 2 weeks later, let alone having to wait for months on a boat But yeah, good luck, i hope you enjoy it as much as i do, killing commonwhores on a daily basis

if it idles real rough, blowing black shitty smoke, or wont go over a certain point - say 2.5-3K maybe your air flow metre/sensor could be crook/disconnected/not plugged in properly

i think they are these ones - in a package - 18 in shadow chrome - with tyres $1980 - brand new, with tyres, delivered right to your door, or you can get them 1900 - fitted balanced etc. because i am actually after these rims, probably get them from temp, but there was problem, a friend of mine his dad runs a tyre place in W.A and he said they dont meet, or havent been tested to ADR(sic?) standards, so no place would fit them, or your isurance is void or some thing? im not 100% sure, but that was my hesitation to get these rims.
