Transmission: Manual

Colour: Black

Location: Sydney

Complied? Yes

RWC supplied?

Currently registered? Yes

Price: $13700

Contact: 0402812322

Comments: The engine has been compression tested and found to have a crack in the head gaskett between the 5th and 6th cylinder. The engine has been partially stripped. All parts that have been stripped have been cleaned and stored away and will come with the car. A complete GTR workshop manual will be provided if you wish.

Modifications: Full exaust system , Apexi pod filters , External waste gate , twin blitz BOV's , twin plate clutch , Adjustable sports suspension (Zero body roll) , Front & rear strut braces , Pioneer CD player , Sparco Racing rims (17 , 255) good tyres , HKS boost gauge , HKS turbo timer , Digital speedo , Greedy stage 2 boost controller.

Drivers window will not come up but i will try get this fixed before sale (its not an electrical issue , the cable has tangled around the pulley), if the price is right and if i find time.

Ring me anytime , If i do not answer send me a msg and i will get back to you as soon as i can.

Price is negotiable for a quick sale , or i will lower the price and keep the rims.

All the cylinders have been commpression tested. The issue occured on startup and no whilst being driven ,i have had 3 mechanics come have a look at it before my mate and i started to strip the engine in prep for the rebuild. The car was only running 8 psi of boost at the time of the issue. Their is no metal in the oil which from what ive been told would be a head gaskett not a shattered piston or cracked block. Aslo the mechanics went over the car whilst the car was running and told me its a head gaskett as well as they have also come back and done a bit of work stripping the engine and still say its the head.

Any written mechanical reports done by workshop/mechanic (not your mate) as evidence it’s only a head gasket?

What wheels are you putting on to replace the gold ones for a lower price?

I have an offer in mind, however it maybe insulting to you, as to be honest it’s more of a gamble box of bits currently.

PM me if you want to discuss more I guess.

put compressed air in cyl 5 and a vac hose into cyl 6 up to your ear, should be a hiss for the head gasket leak. Otherwise broken ring lans between the top and 2nd ring only loose compression but won't leak hardly any oil until the 2nd to oil retainer skirt breaks.

Will most likely be putting standard GTR rims back on or other wise i will put 19s on but the price wont go down as much. The car never went to a workshop , so im not sure how to get formal paperwork. But ill speak to the mechanics and see if they can get one through their workshop.

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
