Looking at buying this, bit strane that it has an R34 engine ? Does anyone know of this cr and or which work shop may have worked on it ?

I rang UAS, they havent seen that car for some time.

[Risking]

Why is it strange to have an R34 engine in it??

Probably find the original engine failed so the previous owner or japanese owner sourced an R34 angine and fitted it.

Nothing much strange about that, However I do know the vehicle. the owner lives very close to me. well looked after always clean and presentable when i see it.

As for the workshop who looks after it im not sure.

Uas told me that it went to a track day, werent sure if it had overheated and or returned with an engine "knock"

Werent able to tell me either if it was with this engine or a previous eng.Yeah I have heard from the person who refered me to the sale that it was a very clean car.Cheers

With all due respect , i have owned these cars before, RB's dont "just fail", wondered if anyone knew of a reason

[Risking]

Hmm RB26 do tend to fail alot!

Bearing failures are very common. Obviously not through the bearing itselfs fault usually the lubrcation system.

looks prettyn tidy from the pics..go check it out and decide from there...

[Ronin 09]

R34 inlet plenum is silver not black.

suspicious.

[sh@un]

Unless they attached all the old ancilleries to the 'new' engine, i'd say that's more likely an R32 series RB26 with resprayed cam covers and a new engine plaque.

[gun32gtr]

possible these days,best to just check the engine number yeh

[Ronin 09]

In fact that's an R33/R32 Crank angle sensor.

Therefore the cams are NOT R34GTR.

Ask some serious questions, but I'd give it a miss if they're willing to lie on the ad.

my 2c

[Ronin 09]

Plus it has an ignitor which R34's don't have (the bit sitting at the back of the cam covers in the middle).

R34 oil cap is different (it is flat raised centre spline to open the cap, as opposed to a cog looking cap) - though this can be changed.

So yeah. I have no doubt this is not an R34 engine (complete). it may have a bottom end but the engine number will tell the tale

Cheers, yeah both the ignitor, inlet manifold and cam angle sensor made me a bit sus on the engine transplant, yeah i'd understand using the manifold from the r32 but the cam angle sensor which i have about 10 of and the ignitor seem to be a bit of a curve ball.Im doing an inspection on it next sat, i'll be asking a few questions and having a gd look.

thanks for the comments

[gun32gtr]

shit im learning more everyday.thats sounds sus as now yous picked up on those

[[200]]

As i said , its a pretty reliable source from UAS, I used to work there haha, never saw the car, although I was only there 8 mths or so last yr. The track day/ spun bearing/ over heating is keeping me on my toes.

197 rwkw, must be near bog stock, kinda a bit boring

[[200]]

Oh and the chassis number, i forgot, HR32.... could it hve possibly been a GTS-4 ! Things just not adding up here, would I not expect to see BNR32 if it were a GTR ?

[GUN_METAL_GTR32]

thats so just an engine cover paint job. look how old every thing is mate. i like the color (same as mine)

[legend01]

Im not being smart here just would like to know ,If it is an R34 engine wouldn't it still need the R32 igniter and cas of the original r32 as it hasn't got the r34 wiring and computer,just asking as I don't know

[GT-R32]

Off topic, what is the colour of the R34 engine bits Anyone have a paint code?

R32 for sale looks nice too.

[blur]

looks like a nice tidy car. compression and leakdown test are your friends here, and maybe getting the oil pressure checked with some sort of mechanical gauge.. always buy on condition i believe! if it had a well looked after 32 motor or a thrashed out 34 motor, which would you prefer??

[[200]]

I'll still check it out but i'll prob give it a miss.
