Are you refering to the one highlighted in red?

Thanks for the reply guys. I will let you know as soon as the two weeks have lapsed. I will then collate all the part numbers and prices so I can go to the guys all in one hit. Nick

For those of you that want my number, just PM me. I'm more than happy to talk to you over the phone.

Hello guys, Thought since I have to order a whole heap of parts for my GTR, and I work at Nissan I thought maybe I could get some extra parts for those that want them. I get staff pricing so it may be benificial to save some coin for those interested. I have access to all parts across australia and japan. I will keep this open for a couple of weeks, collate a list of parts then get back to everyone with a price. If there is enough interest I way do a separate Japan order to further reduce the price. The rules will be: Payment in full for parts up front once I confirm a price you are happy with. I will notify you of the price and shipping if applicable. All parts are genuine Nissan, nothing else

Got a prelim quote on the work that needs to be done. Looking about 5k so far.

I do believe that the motor does fall within the warranty period, what you have stated above seems like a decent avenue for getting some equity back into the situation. The fact that I am a lawyer (by profession) will also help. I have owned the car for two weeks and have driven it about 5 times. I didnt drive it as much as i would have liked as a have a 7 series BMW to putt around in.

I'm in Adelaide. I would take it out myself but i am a time poor kind of guy. I own a reasonably time consuming business. I used to take out motors and gearboxes all the time. 4 hours is pretty good though. What are these tricks?

I just called the previous owner and he said they seemed a tad dodgy. I am going to take it to another builder and get their opinion first. Then I'll take the other guys to the cleaners if need be. Such a poor effort on the part of the builder though. I am very disappointed. Either way the motor is going to have to come put of the car. Can anyone recommend someone I can take it to?

Ok so it appears that the consensus is the bottom end. Thats very annoying considering the motor has only just been rebuilt. (I have the receipt) It even has a tomei baffle sump in it..

Yes I can get a vid of the knock. It's a real sort of metal on metal knock. I didn't get it professionally inspected. I know I should have now. To be honest I never heard the noise while we were taking it for a test drive. Probably because we just went for a short boost and then I said I'll take it. I only noticed the noise on the way home. Then however the noise was only made between 3-4.5k rpm and just off throttle. Like if you hold it there and where there isn't much load... I.e: on flat road. Now it does it at idle.. :,(

Hey guys, I have recently bought a 33 gtr. The background to the car is as follows: The motor was built last year, there is about 19k on the clock. It has JE forged pistons, race bearings forged rods and heaps of other stuff (I'll post up specs when I get home and look at the paperwork) Anyway, the engine had a knocking noise at about 3k rpm and up to about 4.5k. I was told the engine had this before and after the rebuild. It appears to come from the head. After driving through the hills I was heading p to a corner and upon increasing rpm the engine sort of felt a little tiny bit rougher than normal.. So I decided to stop and check it out. Revved it a little and the noise was the same. Thought I would baby it home because at this point I didn't want to cause damage. Over the next few Kim's the knocking got progressively worse and was starting to appear lower in the rev range until it was happening on idle. I stopped right away and got it trailered home. I suspect it is bottom end. The noise is not quite as bad on startup. It also doesn't make the noise it you turn the motor over with the starter. Any ideas? Have other people experienced this? I would suggest the motor would still be under warranty.
