Whats wrong with my GTR?

[IOWNU]

Hey Guys,

The GTR is playing up. Anyways, when i start it, a loud banging noise sounds kinda like a truck, or lawnmower becomes apparent. I'm pretty sure my bottom end is gone :-S So am looking for a new engine. Anyone think it could be something else?

Also, when I depress the clutch, a sort of hissing sounds becomes apparent, like some sort of gas is being released or something. I can't figure out what it could be.

Am truly stumped, would appreciate any help I can get. Anyone have a spare GTR engine lying around???? hmmm.

Cheers Guys.

You got oil pressure.

Pop the lid and start the engine up from cold and put your hand around the exhaust manifolds and back of turbo's to check for leaks. Can get noisy when they leak, happened to me twice.

Thanks mate.

Oh right....so the engine probably isn't gone? I sure hope so.

What's the solution to the problem?

By the way the engine is very noisy, the sound is so loud that after 2 or 3 seconds i switch it back off, fearing the possiblity of more damage.

Did you do anything before it happened, service, burn outs, etc?

1. Do you have oil pressure when it's started or is there none.

2. Year model and klms

3. Louder at the top or bottom of engine

4. If you push the clutch in does the noise go away

Also noise from clutch, could be a twin plate clutch or the release bearing is stuffed.

1: There is oil pressure.

2: 1989 about 90,000kms.

3: Def. louder at the bottom.

4: No, when the car revs its louder, when it is on idle it settles, when i press the clutch, it speeds up.

It's a tough one to troubleshoot cause I can't see it for myself!

Does the engine vibrate?

So it doesn't seem to be an exhaust leak?

Could be a spun bearing, but I could be wrong....

You'd have to get it checked out then dude to see how much your'e up for.

I've seen engines for sale around 5k if you shop around but I'd get it checked out first.

Good luck
