What's up guys !

Can someone plz plz give me a hand with this hey,

this is serious driving me insane !! :cheers:

Couple of month ago I bought a 1992 Sliver GTR R32 from

Melbourne for a good price, I only paid $28,000 for it , after the

car passed the inspection from Melbourne, I paid $1,450 to

get it over in Brisbane, then another $900 to register it..

And a couple of weeks ago white smoke starts to come out

form the exhaust, well... I didn't really give a thing in the start,

but it keep on happaning so I took it to the work shop.

I thought it's probably my turbo is getting old,

time to chuck a new one on it.

Unfortunally the mechanic walks out and told me the turbo is

quite fine, so there could be a problem with the engine. so then

we did a Engine Comperssure test, the first 3 cylinders was all good,

but drop the compressure on the last 3 cylinders ...OMG @#$%@& :):);)

and the gearbox oil is leaking .... and all this problems..

This is been bothering me to the max , I have already spend over 30k on the car,

and it just ........

And i thought it passed the inspection in Melbourne, ..

and the guy I bought the car from,

his phone is switched off...@#$@%%

next time I better not buy a car without seeing it hey ..

So.. PLZ.. somebody give me some ideas

where should I go to do a Engine Rebuilt,

I live in Brissy , and also where should I buy clutches,

cos the clutch on the car is gettign sliper and sliper.. @#@$% :D

depending on how long ago the car passed roadworthy you may be able to ring the workshop that inspected the car and ask them, how exactly they passed a car with oil leaks etc...worth a try as many dodgy workshops are being repremanded by the government transport department. If not have a ring around brissy there are plenty of workshops who will do the job of a rebuild. Just make sure you know what exactly is wrong and what needs and doesnt need fixing, so you dont get ripped off! Good luck

Dude, if you want parts, pm me. I will ship them from overseas. Maybe consider a stroker kit, like HKS, if you've got the cash lying around. Forget about the stock block. Get an N1 block from Nismo, they're 3k a pop.

HKS stroker kits come with pistons, con rods and crank. Put it all in and you should have a decent engine. Head work is the next thing you would look at, get it port and polished to maximise your bottom end. And don't forget about your sump baffle while you're at it.

If you've got about 40-45k lying around, I can get you an 800hp Tomei engine, or a JUN engine built to your specifications.

The warranties arent what they seem unfortunately,

The cover certain parts to a certain value.

IE; The engine to 2000, the clutch to 500 etc etc

so warranties from dealerships are pretty much useless.

Goto Gavin woods or someone with expierence in internal work on RB26DETT

Almost the exact same thing happended to me beginning of this year. car was a little cheaper though. It is currently at Autotech (Gavin Woods) with motor out at the moment.

I will have spent 30k by the end, but it has to fresh turbos already.

So if all goes well I haven't done that badly.

Previous owner wound up boost after it was rebuilt last year. His mechanic did the check over of the car for me....

Im the one thats silly enough to believe older ppl don't rip ppl off.... blah blah blah

This was in a ute not the GTR. luckily

Im hoping everything is sweet once the motor is back in place... I dont plan on modding the car, just enjoying it.

One good thing about a GTR as opposed to a commodore, your not forever modding it trying to make it go like a GTR

thats teach everyone a lesson,you pay for what you get,good GTR always hold the value very well,only a doge GTR or poor condition GTR sell cheap, you should spend more money to get right GTR,not try to spend less and get shit car,

i sold my GTR32 for 36k few months ago,the new owner very happy for the car and never have any problem at all,

i think you should try to get some used R33GTR engine,it wil cost you 5k to buy and you still can sell you old motor for 2k,its work out cheaper,

good luck

hey matt with the oil leak on the road worthy

the car can have a oil seep's meaning that the cross member can be fully covered in oil & it can still pass,the only problem is that it must drip more than 3 time

in 60 sec to fail all that most small shops will do is just wipe or wash the cross

member off & pass it. witch is BULL S**T & a real :kick: 4 the poor prick that

buys the car.

this is the only time it is worth taking a car into a dealer ship because the dealer's have a lot more to lose, most car yards have a mechanical shop they send all there cars to meaning that the mechanical shop will let small things go through

dealer ship's are a lot more strict with their road worthy's

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
