Anyone Keen To Help For A Cost?

[whitenight27]

well the price will come down to how long it takes them to find the problem. and then how it needs to be fixed and at what cost.

sorry to say it but ur car has a GTR badge lovely cars but cost lots to maintain

Sorry i havent used any of the workshops here so cant help. If that is the way you want to go get them to get the car running and if you have money left over do the service, if not the collective minds here can do it easy. If its moving it will make easier to get to someones place/w/shop for a meet up.

Great call, Boss. I'll do just that, anybody had dealings with Auto Italia in Morley or Allstar Garage in Malaga? Their website lists gtrs and they'r close by, two pluses..?

Never heard of AutoItalia but Allstar Garage do good work

[whitenight27]

allstar is where i would go.

the service is easy done like boss-zilla said. so just get it running.

my bet is its prob fuel pump but lets see the out come lol

[V8or4X4]

Ok, got a bad vibe from Auto Italia and all-star are booked out for at least 2 weeks, I ended out booking JPC in oz park for next Monday. How exciting!! I'll keep u guys posted with what the issue ends out being. Otherwise WhightNight27, what should I look for with the pump? Or your welcome to have a bash sometime if your keen, Im pretty sure Boss inspected it so maybe the fuel filters blocked. I don't nooo.

Peace.

did someone try crimping the return fuel hose to squeeze some more pressure out of it?

looking forward to hearing the result

[whitenight27]

Why dont u change ur fuel filter could be blocked but not think it would cause that much trouble unless its 95% blocked. witch it could be if its never been changed.

Its not hard to change and not cost much for the filter ether.

Think i remb u saying that u could not hear the pump prime any more or it was quieter.

First i would see if u can hear it. if so then remove the rubber hose from the fuel rail and see if its getting fuel up to the rail.

If that's ok then do what t revz said crimping the return fuel hose to add fuel pressure.

any how hope u get it sorted

[V8or4X4]

Hey guys, fitted my new oil filter but couldn't work out which hose is the fuel hose on the injector rail. Can anyone describe where it is or tell me what page of the manual it's on? Much appreciated. Also, as far as crimping the return hose, that's located under the duel pumps inspection cover in the boot, correct?

I wanna have one last go and anyone else is welcome before it goes in on Monday.

Ta people.

Jesse.

the hose coming out of the fuel filter is the feed from the pump.

the hose coming off the fuel reg is the return, crimp it slightly anywhere after the reg to up the pressure.

Cheers Jonno, give it a whirl today. Can't hurt..

[V8or4X4]

No good guys, no good at all..... Turns out the ecu wasn't plugged in and switched on properly(?!) and the fuel was off(half tank that had apparently sat for 4 months before I purchased plus fresh half tank plus injector cleaner).

Big problem its got a big end rattle. Apparently this means a 10-12k rebuild or 6-8k engine swap. Does anyone have any suggestions other than sell the car? I think you went through this Nak, what's the dealio?

Cheers.

A sad Jesse.

[Boss-zilla]

farrrrk, sorry to hear. I dont recall a bigend but them again i was not looking for one.

[bubba]

Was hard to tell if there were any internal bad noises with the way it was running..

Email [email protected] about a replacement engine and then hit us up for a hand to swap it over

[V8or4X4]

Cheers boys,

Is everyone in agreement about price? 6k for an r33 engine? Seems.... Extensive..?

Talk to Steve May as I reckon it will be well cheaper than 6k.

There will probably be a bunch of stuff that you should do before you put it in for peace of mind though, I would be inclined to do timing belt/tensioner/idler/waterpump and all the vacuum hoses.

You probably sell the current engine to recoup some of the costs too.

[Boss-zilla]

agreed with Bubba. Get one private (not through a woek shop) and make a weekend to swop it over. BBQ + beer should get enough hands to do it and a service before it goes in.

[whitenight27]

sorry to hear that. that sucks.

6k for just the motor yer way over priced 6k for a half cut is more like it
