Hey
I don't have really any knowledge on skylines its a car that i've admired and recently purchased one 1995 R33 GTR with 49,000 on the clock
I took it for a test drive, drove really well, smooth gear changing no clunks or anything... there was only one problem clutch bearing which the seller said would have to be replaced.
The body and interior are immaculate.
After i got it home gave it a clean i took it to the mechanics the next day, i got a call that afternoon with a list of problems....
Gear box re-build
Clutch Kit
L/H outer CV boot & R/H Inner and outer CV boots
Timing Cover oil leak/timing belt water pump inc coolant
Two new rear tires
I thought ok a few problems, but I'll get them fixed and be done with it.... then i got a call the next day saying that there's barely any pressure in the engine
the back turbo is stuffed.. then he wanted to do a wet/dry test and after that he found out that the pistons where gone and that pretty much i need a new engine/Re-build.
As i said i don't really have any knowledge of these cars, I've gathered that I've bought a lemon of a car.. I'm asking for ADVICE on what i can do, and if any one could help me out..
The mechanic gave me 3 options
Rb25 Re-built ( cheapest option.)
RB26 Rebuilt.
My RB26 Re-built + New Turbos ( Most expensive option )
With a car that supposedly has 49,000 on the clock the engine should still be running in fine order, but from the mechanic said its absolutely thrashed and it has done double the amount of km's that are on the clock.
I've looked into the fair trading act and looked up the odometer being rewound laws and if i can prove some how that has been rewound i'll be compensated for the all the costs of the car and the other party will get a hefty fine
but thats only if i can prove it... otherwise i'm pretty sure i'm out of options and just have to fork money for the rebuild either way i will be doing that.
ANY HELP/ADVICE is appreciated
Cheers
Chris.
