Yeah

Thats what im doing now john And yeah ill be going single. And hadouken, apparently it wasnt the turbos. Oil starvation

Hi everyone.. Im after a a complete running rb26 motor either for a 32 or 33 gtr, Can be stock or built, i dont mind either. Willing to pay the right amount for the right motor. Location between Wollongong and Sydney area would be helpful too, but if i an considering shipping.

Still for sale?

Yeah quote for 10k straight off the bat

No idea as for now. Im going up to Croydon tomorrow to have a look as they sent me an extremely costly quote LOL . And new turbos werent on the quote (replace or repair) See what happens tomorrow

yeah man as far i know.

And inspecting pistons rings etc for anything needs upgrading or replacing.

So the cars been at croydon. So far a head gasket failure and scoring in the bores (using their little camera). 1 coilpack has failed. And possible turbo failure (probs the rear). Unsure what has actually caused the failure, weather fuel, coolant, fuel caused it or if many things contributed. And as for my usual maint, ive always made sure all levels were fine before driving. But yeah. They will be pulling the head off and visually inspecting the bored turbos and etc. Update will be up soon

Sweet dude. Thanks everyone for their inputs. Gets diagnosed soon. And as soon as they find out what it is. Ill post up here for any future issues anyone else may have.

Thanks for the input guys. Went to a local shop thats got a decent rep down my way with imports. Spoke to them about it. And getting diagnosed in the next week or so when i have time to tow it there. And yeah id love to take the head off but half the shit in the 32 manual is like rocket science to me. Ive exposed the turbos (easy part) and then due to lack of the right tools i got stuck. Interesting to see what they find as ive dropped the coolant and no oil at all. Checked the intercooler also and dropped the oil too. Hadnt started it in a while, vitals seemed fine just didnt feel right, idle was bad (wish i could show a video) took the oil cap off for the 3rd time to see and first time i seen it was a bit milky but wasnt sure as ive had that same issue on past cars that hadnt been started in a while

Not much of an update on my findings as of yet guys. And still saving for crunch of rebuild Replaced the battery and rechecked compression Car wasnt warm on the test incase that matters 1st cylinder is now at 130-140psi 2nd is also on 130-140psi And 3rd is also on 130-140psi 4th is at 75-85psi 5th is at 80-90psi And 6th is at 110-120psi In the process of taking the turbos out (a big fun job) I noticed the rear turbo had abit of oil around pipe once i took the intercooler pipe piece off and the rear housing of turbo on exhaust side. (Reason why im taking them out) im getting a sort of popping noise from around that area also... So im thinking to add to the list, turbo seals gone?? Cos surely that would not have caused the low compression? Ive checked the cat and seems fine, nothing out of the ordinary nor collapsed or anything.

Hi guys sorry for late reply busy lately at work 75coupe, ive compression tested the car with a fully charged battery, fuel pump fuse out, full throttle and about 6 cranks, thats the right way yeah? Breaker1845 - yeah i guessed that would have to be the plan. Just getting it somewhere isnt the easiest lol and i havent started her since and yes at the time, i freaked and furst instinct was to stop her before she did more damage XGTRX - havent checked anything exhaust wise as my garage is failry small with no room to move much and my driveway is on a slant so i cant get anything from underneath but i will try cos i e heard bits of the turbine may end up there (ill be spewing if thats the case too, cus ive just got turbo back exhaust system with a hi flowed cat but ill give it a go. GTRJOEY - tbh mate i didnt i shot my self in the leg when i bought because mechanically and visually there was nothing i could find. I checked for coolant leaks oil leaks checked the oil coolant, rust, afms all lines and etc and couldnt find one fault.and drove like a dream. Except about a 2 3 weeks after buying top rad hose split replaced and good as gold. Yes i have heard the sound of bent valves on a skyline and nohlthing sounds out of the ordinary. It is not an excess amount of white smoke on idle but when it drove it was bad. Couldnt see anyone behind me. I did have one problem with the gauge about 4 weeks after buying but when i took the cluster out, a line on the back had all been burnt around it (if that makes sense) so i got the back cleaned up and never really went past the usual mark again... so yeah :-/

Hey blind_elk, thanks for reading and replying, on the top of my head, i think cylinder 3 was the highest comp at 100-110psi, but i dont have the exact psi readings on me not can remember. When i dropped the oil and coolant when i got it home, levels were fine. Mind you the day before it died i did check the levels also as it was only a weekender so every weekend before i drove her id check. And yes i did. I made sure no airbubbles etc was in the cooling system.

Hi all I have a 32 gtr. Driving along and the car lost power, sitting on hwy in 5th gear so i dropped back to fourth put my foot down and revs continued to drop aswell as speed, car bellowed out white smoke from the exhaust,i sh*t myself, turned the car off and rolled to a stop. Car had to be towed home that day (worst day of my life) had only purchased her 1 month and a half before hand. Changed the oil, filter, plugs and flushed the coolant etc when i first got her. And hadnt even done 5k worth of driving but did another oil change etc halfway between. So yeah long story short got her home did a comp test and resulted with low compression along all cylinders ranging between 70psi to 110 roughly, cant remember off the top of my head and leakdown compression rose 30+psi on all cylinders. I dropped the oil, no metal in the sump or anything and nothing milky on cap etc, no oil in coolant as ive checked and ive replaced plugs again, coil packs and CAS. So obviously getting fuel spark etc as the car starts but on idle the exhaust blows a tiny bit of white smoke, ive noticed some smoke coming from the turbos side of the block but cant see exactly where, so i assume my turbos are gone? And once warm all the vitals seem okay, but when revved the car wont boost, im to scared to drive it incase i make it worse. and ive checked vacuum lines to ensure no leaks but only as much as i could access. Scratching my head for the past couple weeks thinking where do i start? My possible thoughts are rings are gone (ive seen many people have had a cylinder down compression or two but not all 6?, um bent valves? I heard could be a possibility, headgasket? And thinking also turbos. Never been in this situation before so its a learning curve as my old 33gtst was one of the best cars ive ever owned lol. But any info would be great before she goes to pulled apart i guess. Wish money grew on trees though. Ive spoken to a few mechanics and they are stumped on whats going on? And ive spoken to CRD JEM and Powertune and obviously they cant say anything till they pull her apart which is hard to get there due to living in the gong and work etc. And i dont think theres any trusty mechs in the gong area for rb26s If i have any luck, someone might of had the same issue and can sort of point me in the right direction. Thanks to whoever read this far (haha) but more info is better than none i guess and hopefully i can narrow down to how what and why this has happend. Cheers
