Hello, so I bought my 1993 nissan skyline r33 gts-t from a dealer 2 weeks ago and the man guaranteed the car was in perfect condition and there was no oil leaks bla bla. Got there and there was no oil on the floor on any where that I could see. He says it just had a road worthy, by he's friend. Who had fixed a rocker cover leak that as soon as I got home it started leaking. After driving the car on day 2 the other side started leaking and I got a quote for 380 to degrease the engine and change both gaskets as the previous man had just used silicon sealant. So I ring the dealer and said you need to pay for this and he said ok but he's expecting me to take it back to he's mechanic who I think is dodgey! Apparently he's mechanic can do the job for

100 dollars, how can he fix both leaks and put in two new gaskets for that price? He's obviously just gunna use sealant again isn't he? The car is now leaking oil in 3 different spots around the rocker cover both sides. Also the dealer told me the air con needed re gasing but the mechanic I went to recently said there is nothing left of the air con in the car! What can I do about this? Also the dealer left me with an empty tank when I collected the car wasn't happy lol Thanks for the help.

Also he said it had an alarm and immobiliser but I can lock the car with the fob, take the fob away and still start the car. So it dosent have an imobiliser. So I have to pay for this just so I am fully insured.

      You'd be better off digging a pit and standing under it to shoot it.

      Troubleshooting - motor wont turn over

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The easiest way would to be ignore the oscilloscope, grab a multimeter, and make sure all the main connections are right. An oscilloscope will give 99.9% of even technicians so much grief, as they have no idea what things should even look like on an oscilloscope. Which is also even more likely for someone who's first ever major work on a car is this If the battery volts are dropping down so low, the LDV will reboot the ECU, when it does so, it will drop out the start circuit. If this is occuring, the battery voltage should also come back up. Give it a few tests, even simple ones like when you're attempting to crank it, measure voltage from the engine block, to the negative terminal. You might find you've got really bad connections somewhere. My guess is the "new" motor has something like a shit starter motor, at which point, you can swap the starter motor from the old motor, to the new motor. Before I did any of the above though, I'd 100% confirm the battery in the vehicle. Most jumper packs are absolutely useless, especially if a battery has a bad cell for example. Also the new modern "jump packs" if you don't know what you're doing with them, you won't even get them into high current stage. So go back to basics, check the battery, especially with a known good one as a replacement test. Check ALL the wiring, this includes where they're bolted onto the battery, and bolted onto the starter motor. Check all the earth straps are on. Measure your resistances across your earth straps. A good check here is to measure voltage across the earth straps while you're trying to crank it. If you're seeing voltage, you've got high resistance joints! Oh, and once you've done the above, check the battery over again.

      For most rotisseries, as Duncan has mentioned, you really don't want a full car on it, you want a stripped shell. And imagine how many more weeks THAT is going to add to working on the car...
