I Hate Cars

[Guest Moses]

I am wondering people if you thought a GTR could be sold

with a busted engine and is there anyone who might be

interested. I am getting frustrated with my car situation and

am CONSIDERING the idea of selling this one to lessen my woes.

Would I be better off getting it rebuilt first or is this more money

wasted? I am sure there are heaps of people who would love

to take it off my hands for **** ALL but thats not really what

I want.

Thank You

Selling is the easy way out....

How much do you want, whats the problem?

any more details year/model and askin price as is?

[Guest Moses]

Well, really after advise at this stage.

Was a fast car with heaps of engine mods (450rwhp)

potential for much more with forged pistons

'92 R32 GTR 1 piston down, head gasket leak.

Looking for 30k when interior is finished.

Hmmmm.......An interesting one.

I think most "serious" GTR buyers would realise that an engine rebuild is on the cards sooner or later, especially when you start to lean on an older motor fairly heavily.

Me personally? I would have been happy to have had the opportunity to buy my GTR for say $3,000 cheaper (guessing this amount for a BASIC rebuild including parts and labour) as I was expecting a rebuild anyway (although it did come a bit TOO soon).

See how many bites you get first. Good luck dude.

Sell mods to fund rebuild, sell car standard. Got more chance of selling it that way. Also learn to use spacebar.

You sure its done a piston and its not just a burnt valve causing the lack of compression?

I presume youve had an endoscope down the bore to make sure. Could largely change the cost of the repairs.

[Guest Moses]

Well I'm not sure if any keyhole surgery has been performed but I was informed

that the leakdown test told the doctor where it was leaking to. He said past piston no.6 - broken ringland I think. I was hoping for just valve damage as the head has to come off because of the gasket, but that wouldn't cause the blowby that was happening.

Josh, I know you've had a heap of back luck with the car already, but I think once the engine is rebuilt you'll be more than happy with it:D

[Guest Moses]

Yeah I'm sure it would be awesome, but I'd hate to think the same could happen again because of a small oversight. Don't know what I'll do yet, am having a hard time offloading the wrex. Thinking the skyline might be easier to get rid of. Missus is starting to get pissed.
