Can you tell us a bit more about the car?

Any mods?

Any accident history?

Some better photos of the scratch in the bonnet and the sump where its cracked?

How long have you had the car?

Any other problems you have had/fixed prior to this one?

Was it last registered in your name?

Where are you located?

Cheers mate

it all sounds too good to be true.i mean this car was purchased by you from someone else on these forums for $18k , which the seller stated the same problem with oil pump and yet youve taken delivery of the car and have decided its too hard to fix as well??? i think that the most people would see the motor fail before they would realise that the oil pump is cactus! i know that if i were driving down the road in my car and the oil pump ceased to work anymore or the sump was cracked i would probably not notice the problem until the engine stopped ie; my eyes are on the road more than the oilpressure gauge.

BigCarl you make some very worthwhile comments,

I am also interested in this vehicle although it does seem like there is more to the engine problems than just the sump and oil pump whether Dan knows about them or not, having not had the car running I would assume he does not.

And Dan i'm sorry that we are not asking questions but your thread is the logical place to get info from other skyline owners/enthusiasts about what the potential buyer might be up for when purchasing your car.

I think if you want your money back for the car you should get a written mechanics report from a reputable skyline workshop because anyone buying this is taking quite a risk and therefore is reluctant to part with their hard earned when they could be up for a big bill before even getting behind the wheel.

That said, i'm considering coming to have a look at it with some equip to check the engine out and have a good look at it. I'll pm you when I can work out a day to get time off work and we can arrange it.

Cheers mate

Guys I just want to say, this car is listed at $18990 for gods sake...

Obviously there is a risk with buying anything and I cant assure the engine is fine but thats the reason its listed for $18990ono....

Its not like Im asking $26000...

Inspections are welcome anytime...

yes but $18990 plus $8500 for a rebuild equals $27499! another question why is there no timing belt? i rest my case ...

timing belt is in the boot, was taken off along with the radiator and condensor to change the oil pump and sump...........

What are you trying to achieve by putting the car down so much???

Its either you want to buy or you dont...

Plus $18990 is the asking price, its not set in stone...

    • Motor done back together, surprised is a understatement with this rb30. just think 10m under flood waters for a couple weeks, 20lt water inside the engine for 3years. cleaning the cooling system installing new plugs leads and overflow bottle and then I’m closing the bonnet moving onto the restoration of the body.    already finished few external pieces for putting the puzzle back together. this has been very enjoyable, frustrating at times definitely. Moving forward with my silo sub!!! thank you to everyone that has helped me so far, ✌️ att.jiLuuIrdYfPMplUAOjVfrq4OOOc082zjTnt1kJrhKVQ.mp4
    • Oooh, right. That makes so much more sense. For some reason I was picturing them selling a variety of pipe ends with nipples on them... Solid reasoning.
    • 100% this, no point delivering a steam oven when the client just wanted a toaster 
    • The best part of my setup is, we only have two sites. Our head office where I'd put every thing has plenty of internet capacity. We're on a 200/200 dedicated fibre. Even better, there's only like 6 people in the office at most, and the other office has 2 people in it (likely 3 soon). The majority of our work is in a custom piece of software, as it is part of the backend of the system we provide to customers. For our arrangement, on prem would be wayyyyy easier, and a VPN tunnel site to site is easy for me to manage. Scaled at many many sites, or quite a few hundred employees it's starts getting a bit different for all people outside the head office. However, everything in the cloud becomes worse for the people who operated previously at the site that held the servers, as now they're at the mercy of their internet, and not GBPS internal network (f**k the idiots who hook a desktop PC up on WiFi or permanently sit at a desk using a laptop and don't go remotely with it).   It really does come down to the business needs and structure as to what is best. For us, 365 is mainly being moved to for office apps, moving email from Google to Exchange, and setting up "Active directory". Otherwise we have a ticketing system with support that runs on our own cloud system, or the sales process sits in a CRM we pay for. My biggest push back for having most of the shit turned off and saying no when people want new shiney things is "that won't meet our security requirements, or efficiency gains, so all you're requesting is money spend to open us up to security issues, or to make our staff less efficient" Which is funny when one of our core values is "To do more, with less"
    • Think of it as a fancy iFrame with the auth passed through to PowerBI as you're already authenticated logged into Teams   I'm the complete opposite, I hate everything on Prem, it's slow as shit, you need VPNs to get anything happening, then when you want on-prem DBs to talk to say PowerBI you need to install/setup data gateways to essentially VPN back into your SQL instance. I suppose from my perspective, on-prem sucks, but from an infrastructure perspective, your environment is somewhat air gapped to the web via your firewall(s), etc.   The curse of knowledge, the more you know the more you suffer. Farken philosophical shit.
