Geez I need to read these forums more often.

Ill begin with a big LOL.

Anyhow...

Chi im amazed you bought an engine based on someones word. I dont care how "cool" he is to SAUWA, he doesnt know what compression his motor posseses, and you have just believed what he told you. Id get my own test done ASAP! Especially when you payed good money for that motor... im stunned you bought it on word alone.

You then fitted this motor to a car without an oil change.... WTF! If you did an oil change, how the hell did the change happen... guesstimation? "shell be right, thats a full tub of oil in it"

Still doesnt answer what happened to the dipstick.. dont think Nissan did any limited edition R33 GTST Dipstickless models? It was obviously there when the motor came out to get built... so where did it go?

Broke it, and tight-assed and didnt buy another? Forgot? Borrowed and not returned?

AD4M, im sure you can fill me in on the bits you know.

I look forward to the giggle.

some very sound advice here. I would be getting a compression and leakdowns tests done asap. never listen to the person selling to the motor as to how good it is. of course they are going to say it's good.

and always change the oil before you start using a new motor.

i did change the oil when i first got the car, i poured around 4.5L or oil into it....mmm i will get the compression test done this week, and i will get the dipstick thing unblocked...i just hope mitchy and kylie didn't lie to me about the compression :? because TJ is right i did pay good money for the motor...so yeah will get tests done this week

Cheers

i bet your wishing you paid that extra lil bit of money for the motor that was lined up for you in the first place now... wouldnt have had any of these issues which is now going to cost you alot more to rectify

sure do AD4M...but it may not be dodgy compression? etc...so i gotta get it checked out still i just hope mitchy would lend me a hand if there is something wrong with the engine...but atm i see there is nothign wrong with it until then i can only do a compression test on it.

If you have a rooted motor, and you only find out its rooted 2 months after purchase, your screwed anyhow dude.

How are you going to prove it was rooted when you bought it? Especially if its been running aftermarket turbo... and i presume ecu injectors etc.

Your not.... so pray that it isnt screwed, and for crying out loud, go buy a dipstick assembly from Nissan asap. It wont be that expensive.

Weirdest thread of the year, in this section at least.

I agree 100%..

I have lebo friends who are less dodgy than this!

uleh? rofl

This thread is a crack up. I have a spare dipstick assembly, but the Dipstick handle is cracked. Definately usable though.

car is pretty much stock just gota fmic and a pod, still stock 25 turbo and stock injectors ecu etc

mmm so if my rings for my pistons were gone it would blow smoke out right from the exhaust? oh well guys mitchy has stepped out and confirmed that my engine has 165 compression for all 6 cylinders then the engine should be fine....im goin to go remove the stud and fit a dip stick in there problem solved thanks guys for ur support sorry to create a thread that was kidna like days of our lifes :D

Cheers

You didn't ask a thing about the motor chi.....Had you inspected the motor prior to purchasing it, you would of seen that it had no dipstick. Even I picked that up... You were told there was no dipstick, you were told that there was a stuffed turbo 'sitting' (NOT BOLTED) onto the motor and were given a good turbo separately. You didn't pay for the stuffed turbo you're trying to flog for $300-$200...

has there been an explanation as to why the no dip stick?

There was no dipstick when Mitchy bought the motor, that is why he got the compression test and leak down test done!

no there has not been an explantion for the lack of dip stick from the previous owner of the engine and no i havne't had it tested myself...

Cheers

Chi

NO explaination because you've never asked, and we don't know why either... only that it was built by Ray Ferrari (look him up and ask him yourself)

Mitchy does know what compression his motor possessed...as said earlier, he got it done because he had no dipstick.

i did change the oil when i first got the car, i poured around 4.5L or oil into it....mmm i will get the compression test done this week, and i will get the dipstick thing unblocked...i just hope mitchy and kylie didn't lie to me about the compression :? because TJ is right i did pay good money for the motor...so yeah will get tests done this week

Can you please not post when you don't know what you're talking about... As Michael stated its a stock motor running stock turbo ecu.

Look, instead of farking wasting time waiting for people to speculate, TAKE THE CAR TO A COMPETENT MECHANIC AND GET HIM/HER TO SORT IT OUT.

FFS

Agreed! And advised he did this how long ago Chi?? 2-3 months now. Left it a bit late I think!

I know you only came here to ask why do people block off dipsticks, you were given the answer, you've been given the guys name who built the motor, call him and ask him. While you're talking to him, ask him if he can do a leak down test for you... but as you've left it way too late, there is no liability that lies with Mitchy anymore. Mitchy is a trusting person to buy from. His trader rating shows that. The motor was running perfectly before being rear ended. No reason why it would be stuffed now unless you ran the stuffed turbo on the motor with no gaskets, no copper washers, and no oil.

Kylie....i was not told there was no dipstick...i am well aware that i was not told....it doesn't matter now....if it was in good condition when mitchy got rear ended then good....ill go get some tests done etc...im sure mitchy's a honest trader im not saying his dishonest etc etc....im not trying to make it hard for yous....just tryign to ask why tehre is no dip stick but now its all good i will get the dip stick plug knocked out and run a dip stick thank you..and also how did u check ur oils kylie ? answer that question ? lol cause every time i bloody check the oil its just drop the oil and go from there.

Cheers

What we know is that the dipstick was taken out at some stage and replaced with a bolt. This is likely to be before the rebuild took place and the reason why the rebuild was done. The person that did the rebuild probably forgot to give the mechanic the dipstick and when they got it back did not put the dipstick back in. We know that after the build was done a compression test was taken out which turned out fine. If oil changes are performed regularly and the motor is fresh then the chances of the oil level dropping between services is minimal.

I think you have a perfectly good engine, however you just need to get the bolt out and a dipstick back in.

    • You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not
    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
