Need Some Advice...

[omega36]

Hey guys...

As some of you may know, I am absolutely addicted to driving my Skyline, unfortunately today, my engine died (what at this stage appears to be bearing failure)...

Having not been in this situation before, I am quite confused and need your advice. What would you do in this instance? What options do I have? I know I can rebuild the engine, but it's not cheap and I don't expect it to be. On top of that, it could just be a standard overhaul of the motor, but being there and the fact that it's all out, you may as well dip in a bit further and rebuild a forged motor, but once again, money doesn't grow on trees!

I would appreciate any advice or help from you guys very very much. Bear in mind I absolutely love the GTR. I'd hate to have to lose it, but I have to be realistic here.

It depends if youre going to keep the car for a long time i reckon.

If so, id definately put forged pistons and a crank collar on with N1 oil pump (your sig says R32). Then if money is tight, you can put the standard turbos back on and when you do want to put 2530s or whatever on, you have the supporting mods to handle increased power. Forged pistons arent expensive today anyway. Dont bother with rods, the gtr ones are adequate.

Having said all that; figure out how much it'll cost, then triple it. Its always the way.
