HKS T51R

I'm not so much trying to blame the seller, just pointing out that he lied to me by saying that the engine was perfectly fine. my intention was to drive it for a year and sell it but now i can't drive it till it's fixed and i'm out of pocket atleast $6000. i know that they sell for more which should off set the cost of repairs but i didn't want to spend $16000 on a car at this time. Thanks for the advice.

I recently purchased an R32 GTR for $10900, which i thought was to good to be true. The previous owner told me he had never had any problems with the car at all. He took me for a test drive in the car and everything appeared to be fine. He then told me a little bit about the car like: The rear tyres are 275 wide The GTR is a 1991 model The engine has never skipped a beat All of which were lies. The second time i went to look at the car i took my dad with me because he didn't want me to buy a car without his say so. I then noticed that the tyres on the rear were only 255 wide. I didn't think too much of it because i realy just wanted to buy the car and the width of the tyres wern't going to stop me. After my dad giving the OK, i purchased the car and drove away unsuspecting that the engine had a major problem and started to make a knocking sound. I took the car to my regular mechanic and he told me the bad news. The previous owner had put thick oil in the car to cover up the knocking sound just long enough to convince me that the car was running fine. My mechanic then gave me my options: purchase a second hand engine for $4000-$5000 then he could put it in take the car to Advan to strip the motor and repair whats damaged I was thinking that a second hand engine would be a good, cheap option, but then i realised that the second hand engine could be on it's way to the same problem. I went to Advan the other day and was told by the owner that i should allow atleast $6000 for the repairs. What happend to the engine was, The RB26 in the R32 GTR's has an oiling problem where the oil is pumped straight to the top of the engine on start up and the bottom of the engine is starved and dry, therefore causing damage to the conrod bearings if the engine is rev'd hard in this state. I've been told to also replace the oil pump with an N1 item as this will get rid of the oiling problem, but they don't give you much change from $600 without installation. I just want to make everyone aware of the oiling problem and that even though the person you are buying the car off seem's like a nice person, you can't realy trust anyone. Can i just say that the service that i recieved from Advan was great as they fully explained all my options and cost's. Thanks for reading about my purchase and thanks to advan for the help.

where would i be able to pick up the parts if i were to purchase them and could you please send me some pics. cheers mate

i'm curious to know why you think it will never be a classic. What model would you recomend that i purchase.
