Hey guys,

Im in need of some help, im actually from brisbane and im in the market for a GTR and i have found one that i really want. Basically i got it inspected with the usual compression and leak down tests completed etc and it failed how ever the owner of the car feels that the inspection is not accurate and is happy for another inspection. He does not mind where the car is taken he just believes that it deserves another inspection, as it has already cost me $250.00 for the first inspection im really hoping that this next inspection is more accurate. So what im asking is if anyone feels that they are mechanically capable or knows of anyone that is onto it when it comes to GTR's than i would appreciate your help im willing to pay what ever is required to get this car checked out im really desperate as im on the other side of australia.

You posted this thread in the W.A section so I assume that you are buying a GTR from over here?

If I were you I'd look in the consolidate workshop thread and find a workshop that is close to the dude and get them to do a compression test etc..

If it was checked by a reputable workshop the first time around and failed, why would a 2nd test be any different beside you spending more money?

If your so keen to have it re-inspected, as Lukas said check the consolidated workshop thread

If he is so convinced it is ok, you tell him wear to take it and he can pay and if it comes back ok then buy it??

Sounds fair to me....

Just make sure you get it i some were reputable that you can/will trust and that they can back up there claims in writing....

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
