Log books to confirm low kms?

Records are somewhere in my friends shop.. but they are there.. I bought the car with 76xxx (imported from Japan, apparently the previous owner was some middle aged fellow), rolled it up to 95xxx, mostly highway driving, and with no problems at all..

...who didn't have the time to drive it and has been kept in a dry, clean garage under a car cover for the past 7 years, explaining the low (genuine!) mileage. Also, the car goes really good for what it is. Possibly a 'freak' engine from the factory

The motor had a tuned ecu plus intake/exhaust, that is ALL. No turbo, no boost controller, nothing putting any extra stress on it. I kept up the maintenence. I didnt even drive it hard. I just dont get it. Low kilometer motor thats great one day, dying the next.

/rant.

whoa on second thoughts nick, looks like this particular salary man was in a heck of hurry every week to get his fix...

Op, sometimes, and i mean only sometimes you shouldnt swallow every pill people tell you is good for you...

Sounds to me like you had a stuffed injector staying open and dumping fuel (from the stored pressure in your fuel system) into a cylinder. Cylinder fills up (fluids are incompressible remember) and when you try to start it if the piston on the full cylinder is on its way up it hammers f**k out of the gudgeon pin (little end) and "pop goes the RB..." If said cylinder is on its way down, you get lucky and excess fuel gets dropped into the sump.

I had the same thing happen once on a bike, fuel tap was leaking and the carb overflowed into the bore. At knock off time I trotted out to the bike and tried to crank it over and it wouldn't spin. After about 10 goes on the starter it cranked over juuuuuust enough to spit the rod through the side of the bore :)

Wow some of you need to grow up. Didnt your mommy's ever tell you, if you dont have anything nice to say DONT SAY ANYTHING AT ALL. Once again, grow the f*** up.

I put the exhaust and intake on, along with the Mine's tuned ecu. It was stock when I got it.

The car pulled like a raped ape, never showed any problems at all, and the chassis of the car definitely did not show much sign of age. I am confident to say, its probably one of the cleanest cars on these boards. Was.

^ Rooster, I think an injector went south in a HURRY as well. Which is kind of sad, as that would mean the motor had just 3000 kms to wreck itself.

Whatever. I gave the car to my friend. He's going to just swap the motor, or stuff in an rb26.. after that it will be gifted to his wife haha.

      Is this saveable r32 gtr seat

      By PLYNX · Posted

      How much is it to re-uploster?  Well that's a "how longs a piece of string?" question !  And I answer thusly: "twice half its length! " . . . . . .  Seriously you'll have to chase multiple quotes for that one from different uphlostrerereres !  Ask around, in your area and on the forums, chase reviews and most of all see the finished product in person cause photoshop is a wonderful thing !

      RB25DET Engine Oil Dipstick Length

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      Hey everyone!!  I've noticed that whenever I do my oil changes, after putting 4L in, the oil level sits at the top mark in the dipstick. This is after letting the old oil drain for a very long time too! I've checked the oil level daily for the past few mornings. It happens every time and it's confusing because all the threads say that it should take about 4.7L (With some just adding the full 5L) My next thought is to figure out if the dipstick I have is correct so could someone please tell me the length of the RB25DET engine oil dipstick?  I've checked images of some of the genuine dipsticks, but none of them have the length in it. https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-engine-oil-level-dipstick-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-stagea-c35-laurel-y34-cedric-gloria-rb25de-t-neo?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOortQXofgmiHVRKuIaiKuygL4k0Ewp68c3isGZk0vvKOJ7Yqf3iB However.... the engraving on the genuine ones say 05002 while mine says AA000. This makes me believe that maybe I have a wrong dipstick? I just want to confirm before I buy a new one. The car is a fresh import from Japan so I don't have details of the previous owner to ask him. Thanks in advance 🙏🏾

      Sport. I didn’t rebleed it cause I just removed the slave and left connected.    I will change line and slave and see how it goes.

      Did you get the sport or track ? From what the documentation says the uniclutch has a small amount of movement to disengage.  So your story of tricky pedal setup seems common.    Hopefully you got it bled up too, as the bite point moving around is usually either plates wearing in or air in the line.
