Well as you know i have run a bearing in the GTR.....

I reali have a few choices.....

Im trying to save for a house and really at the moment thats the most important thing....

So i can rebuild the enigine.... $10,000....

I could try and sell the car as is.... What would it be worth? Leaving the wheels, power Fc etc etc etc?

I could strip the car get it back to standered and sell it? Whats it worth then?? And then sell the parts serperate?

Or lastly i could get a rb26 engine for 3000 and put it in my self and sell it... Whats it worth then??

These are just ideas at the mo.. Just tossing up what to do....

Then id get a cheaper car around $10,000 as a daily

Help

Strip parts, new RB26 put the work in and put your parts into new rb26 and sell the old one for cheap, or keep it incase you need to use other stuff off of it. But a cheap daily for like $2k while all this is happening if you don't already have one

I have a whole list of parts thats only done around 1000kms if that...

SARD injectors

Power FC and Controller

Jun Cam Gears

Greedy Profec 2 Boost Controller

Brand New in Plastic Nismo Fuel Pump

Work Xd9s 18 x 10 Brand New Tyres

HKS boost Gauge

Pod Filters (or Standered Air Box)

Thats just the stuff i could replace for standered

depending on size, bout $1000 SARD injectors

$1300 Power FC and Controller

$250? Jun Cam Gears

$350 Greedy Profec 2 Boost Controller

$250? Brand New in Plastic Nismo Fuel Pump

$3000 at least Work Xd9s 18 x 10 Brand New Tyres

$150-200? HKS boost Gauge

$100-150? Pod Filters (or Standered Air Box)

thats approx 6k - 6.5k worth of parts!

Thats just the stuff i could replace for standered

there 700cc injectors

But yer it is roughly that sort of cash in parts...

so if i was selling the car for 24,000 get 6000 for parts get back 30000.....

have to out lay right now around $4000 to get an engine but it in and replace back to standered parts tune etc...

and have a few other little things,

Second blank GTR key,

Brand new Greedy Strut Brace

Brand new Greedy Radiator air guide

Carbon N1 wing

GTR Carbon end caps

Full Exhaust system

yeh id just slap another rb26 in there, the car is worth bugger all sold with a dead donk. like has been suggested, replace with stock rb26, sell off all good parts from your dead motor and that will more than cover costs

well i am looking for a greddy front strut brace

and i would rather help a fellow sauer out...you know what i mean

wont be much but will be something

so first dibs on the strut brace

:huh:

if you ever think about owning a GTR again you will potntialy still have the same problem, and no matter what engine you buy it'll still have the same design flaws unless you fix it... so i say fix this one up if you still want to drive an import, otherwise, sell it and buy some non-turbo local car =P

    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
    • Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
