Hey Sau's

So over the long weekend i had picked up another GTR R32 for a good price... i thought it would be a good idea just to drive around in a std GTR until mine was finished with my court proceedings..

so after owning the car for 26hours the motor decided to let go on me :( my misses was taking it for a drive at the time when the car sounded like it let something go and just turned off..

after trying to get the car to start again i checked the oil (i know i should of checked this before) but i was planning on servicing the car the next day before driving it again.. i had notice it was low

now i have no idea what could be wrong but i assume the worst either the timing belts gone or its spun a bearing.. i know you can't tell what wrong without looking at it but i want peoples thoughts on what is the cheapest way to get this car going again as i dont want to be stuck with 2 GTR's that dont work :(

should i bother gettting it looked at or fine a replacement motor???

what would a second hand head on a rb26 cost tho?

I've heard so many of these stories where people buy 32 gtrs and 2 weeks later theve spun bearings. There notorious for there oil pump problems and being such an old car, I would be reluctant t take the risk on one, unless it was rebuilt not to long ago...maybe that's why u got at the "bargain price" u did

    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
    • I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
    • You can get them with the worm drive rotator but I was too tight to pay another $250-$300 so manual labour it is! I don't think it will be too hard to rotate though.
