i wanta know how many ppl have had a motor go on them

and reason most i guess would b over boosting and trashing it

anyone killed one just by K's or out of no were

They are strong/quality engines.. They should only die if their ill treated.

PS.

Are you STILL going to buy that skyline?

and what does 2rd mean? do u really mean 2nd?

There'a a thread in the maintenence forum.

Most failures are due to something, whether, k's, abuse or poor tune.

My rb20 just got very tired after about 180k and constant abuse. When pulled down it was in pretty good condition considering, just worn bearings and rings, everything else was in pretty good condition.

[scottman]

well the one i buying has ks abused by ppl that stole it and a ****ed tune

I am going to do my Best to fix it up hope it isn't to long gone

i won't care if i have to rebuild it in about a year but i just wanta get a year

going to knock them 1500 off the price

[Mordecai]

Yer what does 2rd mean?

[Beer Baron]

my advice. don't buy it. it's been stolen and thrashed. plus you say it has a bad tune. doesn't sound good. don't forget they haven't just been sitting still revving it. they have been DRIVING it so most likely have worn the clutch possibly damaged the box too. if you must buy it (dunno why) make them knock a lot more than 1500 off.

[LANFOH]

Dont buy it man. It may seem cheap at the moment but wait till you have to get it fixed down the track. Smart option would be patient and keep looking.

not only may the motor be flogged, but other parts also generally get a smashing

[scottman]

it did only 30ks when it was stolen and it was along the highway so it wooda just been in one gear at high speeds

Car still Looks 100% the same i had it check same report

Tune is getting Fixed tomor

[CerealKiller]

don't buy it.

there are plenty of other Skylines waiting to be bought...

[raz0r$harP.UK]

yeah lot of skylines... if its had a bad tune and possible detonation then who knows the extent of the damage to the engine... there plenty of 94 95 ish skylines for around 15K in great condition

[Gizmo73]

...also add to the fact that - although it was driven 30k's...

Ill bet you the guy(s) didnt warm the car up first, they thrashed the hell out of it while still cold...turbo spooling, etc etc...and THEN went high speed !!

Im sure the oil pressure wouldve been great for those 30k's...

Most cars are pretty tough, test it out thoroughly. All these cars have been in Japland for years, through compliancing etc, to the track i.e probably at some stage flogged quite hard..I dont think 30kms of hard driving will kill it.

Be skeptical of it i.e. get someone who knows to check it out for you. You can tell if a clutch and gearbox are good. You can get a compression check..

i agree

im sure a good flogging for 30kms is nothing compared to the hard caning it has had its whole life anyway
