Spynic

thanks guys much appreciated :-) guess ill pick up a 2nd hand engine lol and fit it my self dont really have a choice unless i get some money soonish lol. are there any hire places for engine hoists??

honest opinion if i may, would it be worth trying to sell a car with blown piston rings :-) looking at getting aroun 7k ish for it?

i guess if u runn silly boost and dont have the system back it up then yh it doesnt matter what it is something will pop hahahaha just make sure everything is done properly and you should be fine

in my case its call skyline owners for 180,000kms :-) wear and tear, like everything, but lack of oil and overheating can cause em to warp or split :-)

thats what has also been running around in the back of my mind!!!! i was thinking about taking the engine out then paying someone to rebuild it? all the garages say a fewk is just labor taking the engine in and out, i think that might be a better opition, i can change headgaskets and things like that but as u say, im defo no mechanic lol i might give hyper drive a call and get a price so far all garges are up around $8k :-( the car only cost 13k lol

thats brilliant thanks soooo much, i was thinking about signing up to tafe and learning japenese hahahahaa im pretty sure this topic will be going for a loooong while while i rip out the engine, ill try and take pics when i can as well hahahaha. ill try and change over as much as i can in the engine, thanks for the shopping list guys, bit of a pain really the cam belt has only done 20,000kms lol had it changed not long ago!!

im also prepared for pistons, cylinders bored, crank re done, is there anything else i should expect?? or while ill have the engine out worth changing?

thanks mate much appreciated!!!! yeah sadly it happens but looks like a nice project for me to take it out and rebuild her :-) any tips would go a treat!!!!

hey guys long time no speak, have been really busy lately so thought i would come and say hi!!! and my piston rings have gone in my r33!!! i have been trying to find on this forum a guide or something?? im gonna have to change em my self as i cant afford stupid garage prices to rebuild it etc, can anyone help getting a full engine manual for rb25det in r33? all help would be appreciated guys thanks for your time
