Well im getting the complete engine from Perth..

Was going to go with the bare engine in an Adelaide wreckers but after speaking to them wasnt happy with what they had to say etc. Could compression test it, had no idea the amount of kms its done, not even sure if it ran fine before removal. Asked what happens if i put it in and its a crap engine. They said that fine bring it back and we will swap it for another one. lol you think im putting an engine in, then removing it again then putting another in etc etc lol.

So yer should be here end of the week....

But now my mechanic has to have a hernia op... lol cant win!! (poor guy tho!)

Fingers crossed all works out ok...

Was reali disapointed in the way they handled it. oh well....

Hey anyone got any ideas what i should get for a stock as a rock 33 GTR?? LIke stock as in stock, wheels, stock, exhaust, stock computer etc etc

[Damo_R34]

low to mid 20's if clean as and low k's?

[rhys5169]

swap you a 32 gtr for it lol

[Adz2332]

Haha im trying to get away from the GTR lol....

wonder if i could get mid 20s for it with the blown engine but all the parts etc??

[rhys5169]

doubt it, blown engine hurts a sale price maaaaajorly

[Damo_R34]

nope, regardless of what thins are worth, you'll get less simply because the car doesn't go.

[CRoNic...]

You'd be lucky to get even 8 for that with a blown engine!

[Adz2332]

damn.. shame as the recepits i have really add up on it

[CRoNic...]

Yeah, most people would get scared if they read "spun bearing" or "engine blown"

Not neccessarily cause they can rebuild it to what they want and the new owner knows what's in it..The only trouble is getting a decent price

I see you have two threads running Adz

[Murry33]

fix it, then sell it im my opinion. it should be easier to sell that way, otherwise you gotta find someone who doesn't mind a gtr with dead engine

We don't need two threads about the same topic. I'll close this one, continue discussions here
