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

    • Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.
    • It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
    • Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.
    • Great work Duncan, any events local you will give it a test once all done?
