hey all,

im new to this.. but ahh.. hi my names alex.. from old melbourne... umm... i have just bought my first skyline after a long anticiptated wait... so happens i found a r33 gts-t on car sales which seemed to be awsome (dont they all) after all the phone calls i headed about 4 hours from my house to meet the guy... the car looked and sounded grouse... after a mechanical check by racv sayin the car was in good condition we followed on to buy it.... claiming its 300rwkw.. with a new series 2 engine and a t04e garret turbo sitting on custom headers with a front mount and custom throttle body and a whole lot of other mods... i began to drive the car home with me old man to find about 5 minutes into the drive the car was blowing intense blue smoke.. i babied her home and got her to our mechanic to find that the engine is completely rooted and the compression test that racv gave us was complete bull dust aswell... so turns out i need to bung a new engine in her.... i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about places to go in melbourne about dropping in a new motor, transfering all the mods across and maybe doing some more perfance at the end... like forge the pistons and stuff like that.. what should i do/?

if i was you i'd be looking at RACV to fork out for the repairs. the whole point of them is that you buy a car with the assurance that its fine. if they cleared the compression and it was actually crap then you should go to them and tell them to fix it.

thats how the NRMA checks work anyway.

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
