Blew my engine!!! 2 laps and it started making a rattling sound, went for one more and it was so down on power and was clunking like anything. Pulled plugs out, cyls 1 and 2 had no compression and oil pressure is at 7bar on idle :) What is odd though is it still idles fine.

Suspected spun bearing and possibly screwed rings and/or pistons

Either way, goin RB25 now, so should be nice :) One day, when i finally get it done...

ahh that sucks, sounded pretty bad when u were putting it back in the garage..

Not sure if u remember me? I was the chick who wandered over to see what was wrong, just as u were getting out after putting it in the garage..

OUCH! Don't be a sheep! go the 30DET! :stupid:

Flick: Yeah, I remember you sayin hi, I thought it was you. I was a little angry at that point... :stupid:

Ash: I have thought long and hard about it, it's just the problem of finding the suitable head... (I'm lazy, I want the R32 one that bolts straight on :P) And I cant wait around for one to pop up as it's my daily driver and I need it back on the street! :)

ye thats true! I definitley wouldn't put the 33 head on the rb30 if it was going in a 32, defintely too much hassle!

25's are a great motor for the 32 especially for drift as simon, lindo etc have shown!

    • Just pulled the passenger apart so got a good idea, also the side bracket that pivots the top half is completely cooked.. how I don’t know.. haha and paid $400 also included a photo of the passenger seat! She is mint
    • I managed to get the foam will the original upholstery off in one piece, so will be an easy to re fit thankfully.
    • Then eventually someone in a Tiguan MK2 with an email toon and some random Alibaba pipes. (FWIW, I ran a 12.9s down the 1/4 in the wife's car)
    • Not much. It's barely more than an hour's labour. So that-ish plus a boot, clamp strap, some grease.   But, being an R32 GTR, when it is up in the air and the driveshaft is out, about $9k worth of other problems will become visible.
    • Yes, as above. The welding is an easy enough job. Proper reupholstering, perhaps less so. These, and pretty much all seats of the same era (and probably still) rely on molded foam parts to make the shapes. That foam is the yellow detritus visible in the photos. And it is difficult to replicate. I didn't want the pain, so went aftermarket seats instead. But for "saving a classic".... it's probably worth the kidney and left nut that a trimmer will want to redo them.
