Hiya, after a minor bingle where my better half ran my R33 GTST into a concrete wall, surprisingly the insurance company has declared it a total loss so i imagine it's going to be heading to a wrecking yard pretty soon (possibly monday or tuesday i'm told)

The car has :

GTRS turbo

genuine Hybrid front mount intercooler

nismo 740cc injectors and

splitfire coilpacks in it,

all working perfectly. I didn't have enough time to grab them over the last few days while harvesting various "personal effects", so consider this a heads up for someone to get in and grab some gear. all 2 years old and running well.

i'm working 6 long days a week so getting them myself isn't an option unfortunately, even though there's a LOT of removable assets still on the car, and i don't have anywhere to house the wreck so can't really buy it back to sell it for parts myself. and quite frankly, i cbf with it any more!

some electronics (powerfc, Z32AFM) are up for sale here on SAU

car was pretty spotless so as soon as i know it's location i'll post it up

Series II 1996 silver GTST

also had a whileline works kit on it, with bilstein shocks, front end is all out of whack but the front strut brace should still be fine i think.

and a full 3" stainless exhaust with hollow, i mean high flow, cat converter

hope this helps a few of you out!!

will update this thread as soon as i know where my baby's resting place is :nyaanyaa::(

    • But if I smoke test 5th cylinder it’s all ok, no leaks  when I try with 2nd it’s leaking exhaust and intake, it doesn’t come from oil dip stick.    so maybe when car was running poorly, rich or sth. Spark plugs were black and covered in charcoal or sth lookalike. could potential contamination make valves not seal properly? is there also a possibility that rb’s don’t have equal performing cooling passages  meaning back of the engine will be hotter than front. Can this cause improper wear if engine was running under load for short time? Or carbon build up could just burnt from 4-6 and is still on 1-3?   I out of my head like really. Timing is as manual crank-exhaust 47, exhaust-intake 38 at this point I thinking about give it a try and make another 500-1000km and check if anything change, if not I will most likely disassemble engine head /or whole engine and send it back to rebuild. It’s killing me     
    • Thanks Duncan, I don't have a GTR these days mate. Gone soft..
    • Yeah. air pressure leakdown test is where I would be headed next here, using one's ears to determine whether it's the valves or bores/rings leaking...
    • More likely you didn't bed the rings in correctly and have glazed the bores. Running with misfires on a fresh build is somewhat of a no-no. Surely no-one "smoke tests" the combustion chamber? That's what a leakdown test is for. Smoke testing is, um, a bit of a wank at best, and only really useful for external pipework.  
    • Well, obviously that kit is not a relocation kit or anything other than just the original isolators and the like. I would suggest that it should be a matter of just bending up some flat bar to build a mount over the top of some other diff, with the flat bar held to the back of the diff by the rear hat bolts. A little welding, a little thinking about how to secure the front of this structure, maybe some different hoses in case you can't get it in just the right place.
