hey guys

well in the next couple of months (hopefully) i'l be looking at buying an R32 GTR, ive looked at afew, browsed on these forums for ages etc, and ive decided i wanna buy one with a blown engine and just do a basic engine rebuild (we know a very good family friend who knows these engines like the back of his hand, owning/building both a 26/30 GTR and 25/30 R33, so labour/parts will be no probs)

im just posting to ask you guys if you know where you can buy R32 GTR's with blown engines? body and interior must be good, what kind of prices roughly? can you import them, or must they be in running order?

just the other day i saw one on ebay go for 9g, engine didnt start, but needed minor quater panel work aswell

thanks heaps

nah, i thought instead of buying one for around 18ish grand and not knowing how long the engine will last, might aswel buy one wich is already dead and get it rebuilt, only after 220 - 250rwkw

Generally speaking from my experience the blown engine gtr's are also very used in all other aspects too so whilst you might get it for a low price the quality of the interior and exterior will also match that price.

well it depends really, the motor could of gave way coz of a stuffed fuel pump, or turbo failure, or a stuffed oil pump which is more common

anywayz thanks for ur help guys, i'l se what happens when im ready anywayz...

It also could have given way because the owner didn't take care of the car as a whole and ran it into the ground.

An engine can be rebuilt, but condition of the rest of the car is hard to replace.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
