jayce and geordie are the only two people with r32 gtr's (in the a.c.t/qbn) that i know that didn't have to rebuild their motors after purchasing their gtr, because of the motor being a lemon or of 'other' imperfections if there are others out there no pun intended.

just goes to show when purchasing an import you must (after getting ownership of the vehicle) get it thoroughly checked and serviced, by a PROPER AUTHORISED WORKSHOP that deals with imports day in and day out, regardless if you decide to putt putt or hammer it here and there, here is a list of workshops in a.c.t/qbn area that i trust fully in:

ed at integra automotive (tuner/parts extrodinaire, famous for his 'on road tuning' capabilities also uses pete's 2WD dyno from autotech from time to time, has a 'thing/partnership' with greg at pro engines)

greg at pro engines (can bloody well rebuild anything)

john at trojan imports (parts grandmaster/rebuilder/ in a good way crazy bastard with crazy results uses jakes dyno and tuning capabilities to well.... get crazy results, has massive contacts list for importing parts as small as BOV's to as large as complete cars)

jake at jakes performance (tuner/parts/fabricator/engine rebuilder extrodinaire and much much more, like ed at integra gets the job done with more than excellent results, has his own in-house 2WD dyno that pretty much gets exhausted at the end of the day)

Pfft mine didnt need a rebuild, was just a shop that shall remained unnamed that decided it was stuffed and pulled it apart. So has anyone seen those new Evos?

Bah it needed a rebuild didnt you say it had some really dodgy noises coming from it and you took it to the place that sounds like mitsubishi ***'s and they made it worse ???

I was referring to the rebuild I had almost 3 years ago not long after I bought the car.

It made some really bad noises which was every tooth of the 3rd gear cog floating around in the gearbox hitting other bits of metal and a pressure plate snapped into 3 pieces :/ Nothing wrong with the engine though, was in remarkably good condition for its age.

Stunnd - Id be Shocked :/. I would be interested to know what exactly you find out about your engine.

Im really sorry you experienced this first hand. Suggest you put it in your lessons learned part of the brain and move on. There's no other option.

A lot of us are guilty of this lesson. At least SAU has been with us for 4 years now and has a heap of info that can help and save you from making mistakes when buying or fixing your ride.

Most buy the Skyline and then find the site. Imagine the heartache that would be saved if we did research first.

Remember tho - Sometimes sh*t just happens.

If it comes to a rebuild - A big YES for Greg n Warren @ Pro Engines. Best rebuild, good price, - honest shop. You want to take it a place you can trust where the guys know and do the business - take it to Pro Engines.

I've slammed that *** workshop publicly many times on this forum, well actually. I've told a true story a few times, naming and shaming. I didn't know it was such a big issue.

Disappointing we just didnt get to show it     Apparently this is motorsport !

      Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3

      It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.

      no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
