Hi Guys,

I have a R33 which has a blown motor. Suspect is a cracked piston. The car still starts and drives but has a nice bit of white smoke coming out of the exhaust. My mechanic thinks it is number 5 piston based on a compression test

I am selling as i just dont have the money to pull the motor out and repair it, because i know once i get it out i will want to forge the bottom end and it will cost me more than i can afford

Some details on the car:

- Series 1

- Colour Black

- 150,000 kms - Standard motor, never been rebuilt

- 5 speed manual

- Sunroof

- Unregistered

Mod List:

- Garrett GT3076r turbo

- Standard low mount manifold

- 3 inch Kakimoto exhaust

- Front mount intercooler

- Microtech LT16 ECU

- Bosch 044 Fuel pump

- Fuel Regulator

- 850 cc Injectors

- Yellow Jacket coil pack

- Custom air filter and cover

- Front strut brace

Interior :

- GReddy e-boost 2

- Apexi turbo timer

- GReddy boost gauge and mount

- Pioneer front splits

- Pioneer rear 6 inch speakers

Additional :

- Comes with standard r32 rims powder coated black . I have a set of Super Hiro 19 inch rims that were on the car for a few weeks with 85% rubber that i could include for the right price

- It has a flat fiber glass boot

Location = Wollongong, NSW

The car was making 275 rwkw's on 16psi when the problem occurred and i have kept it garaged ever since.

I'm looking to either sell it for around 4.5k or to swap for something that is running. If anyone is interested please let me know and we can work something out. Open to inspections and all sorts of swaps

Thanks

Rob

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
