The motor was good when I got it. But the hicas. Diffs and clutch were :Owned:

I spent alot of money on the car to get it to where it was. It ran a 12.5 on the quarter. And then KABOOM!! Meh got no money.

what exactly is wrong with the engine and were is this place you found gtr engines at about $6000 as i wolud like to know these things before going any further as i can way up the costs......?

cheers

19,000 is bargine price, new engine would be rnd 6,000 fully good GTR for 25,000 and a 1993 December model at that. Durno why its so hard to sell......

I got a quote to replace the engine. $2k to pull the old engine out and another $2k to put a replacement engine in. Can you get it done cheaper where you are?

There is a R33 Vspec motor going for ~$6k on the forums so your right on the money there.

Sounds a tad pricey. We R and R a GTR engine for $1K over here if you supply a complete engine.

$2k to remove an engine? WTF

You are being screwed

Sorry, I had to comment

You also have to realise that when you put a new engine in the car, even if it cost you $7,000 in total, you can probably get $2,000-$3,000 for selling bits of the old engine. IE turbos, head, injectors, stock dumps, ECU, the list goes on......

    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
    • STOP GOOGLING FAB9 MAKE BORG WARNER EFR KITS FOR THE NC. THEY PACKAGE AN EFR 6758. DO NOTHING ELSE. CAPS INTENTIONAL. THE BEST RESPONSIVE SETUP EXISTS FOR YOUR CAR, AND HAS BEEN PROVEN FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. IN B4 "BUT I WANT EVEN MORE RESPONSE, IN A SIMPLER, MORE RELIABLE PACKAGE" WHICH IS A LS.
