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.

[Chi100188]

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

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

[Angus Smart]

I have lebo friends who are less dodgy than this!

[Chi100188]

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.

[Ronin 09]

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.

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

I agree 100%..

uleh? rofl

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

I have lipstick around mine

[IMPORTD]

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

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.

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.

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.

So what man?

Never seen a stock turbo 25 pop?

Many things can make a motor die.

Too late now for warranty.

[Chi100188]

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.

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.

[Pauly33GTS-t]

Turns out the only dipstick anyone has seen around here is the person who bought the motor then yeah?
