no race km, engine not tested. I purchased engine after it was taken out of car.

Just checked with my machanic who found me this engine, it wasn't out of a half cut like I thought. It was from a going R32 GTS-t. Engine purchased from another workshop who was doing some high performance stuff to the owners car and onsold this engine after it was removed. Was ensured it was a fine engine.

i was gonna ask about compression of cyl and also if there are any known oil leaks or issues with engine.

engine has no oil leaks, I was going to strip it and race prepare it, but I am also confident speaking with the people who I purchased it from, it's a sound engine. If I had been able to compression test the engine I probably would have listed it for $1000

:action-smiley-069: so your selling it for $690 and assuring us that its spot on and you trust your mechanic but if you were to compression test it you would want $310 more :happy:

Not trying to cause trouble just find that interesting and amusing at the same time!!!

Not at all, what i find amusing is that your stating the engine as being in excellent condition out of a running car but you dont know the compression of the engine, it hasn't had a leak down test. You said if it had been compression tested then you would ask more and that is the part i find amusing as personally dont think it helps your sale!!!

If the engine is as good as your claiming then why not ask more straight up seeing as they are harder to come by in good working order???

Oh and for the record id never buy an engine that i couldn't compression test :D

Ben, have you read all posts? I have never stated the engine is in excellent condition. I believe it a sound engine given the information from people I know and trust. So having siad that, this engine is obveiously being sold in as is condition. I could have lied to other members and said it has been tested and it's fine. So given all the facts Ben, I don't believe I could expect anyone to pay more. Does that sound logical to you?

If your not interested in buying this engine than please don't bother replying

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
