Engine Transfer

[EngoR33-300]

hey all,

im new to this.. but ahh.. hi my names alex.. from old melbourne... umm... i have just bought my first skyline after a long anticiptated wait... so happens i found a r33 gts-t on car sales which seemed to be awsome (dont they all) after all the phone calls i headed about 4 hours from my house to meet the guy... the car looked and sounded grouse... after a mechanical check by racv sayin the car was in good condition we followed on to buy it.... claiming its 300rwkw.. with a new series 2 engine and a t04e garret turbo sitting on custom headers with a front mount and custom throttle body and a whole lot of other mods... i began to drive the car home with me old man to find about 5 minutes into the drive the car was blowing intense blue smoke.. i babied her home and got her to our mechanic to find that the engine is completely rooted and the compression test that racv gave us was complete bull dust aswell... so turns out i need to bung a new engine in her.... i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about places to go in melbourne about dropping in a new motor, transfering all the mods across and maybe doing some more perfance at the end... like forge the pistons and stuff like that.. what should i do/?

You should woop the previous owners ass.

Also might be a better option to do a rebuild of your current engine rather then getting a new one.

if i was you i'd be looking at RACV to fork out for the repairs. the whole point of them is that you buy a car with the assurance that its fine. if they cleared the compression and it was actually crap then you should go to them and tell them to fix it.

thats how the NRMA checks work anyway.

wow cool! RACV are paying for your rebuild for their negligence.

yeah when I got mine checked over I remember seeing something about a warranty on their work or something

Id be looking on the website etc to find if they had some sort of warranty

here I had a quick look for you

30 day mechanical warranty by the looks of it

if they don't warrant their work, what are you paying for?

[Adriano]

Good luck with that, high hp modified motor, doubt youll get warranty. Racepace would be a good place to start, and maybe discuss with them converting it to an RB30, as it wont cost much more in the long run
