R31Nismoid Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 How long is a piece of string? Depends on who build it, how well it was built, servicing of the car, the tune and about a million other variables Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/351052-32-gtr-forged-engine/#findComment-5633097 Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny14 Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 i know that just wondering roughly how long other peoples have lasted etc i know its prob stupid question i keep services up to reg! well it was built at ice performance bout 3 years ago Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/351052-32-gtr-forged-engine/#findComment-5633099 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael-322 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 yeah as above mate..could last 5 years..or could last 5 months if the previous owner has looked after it, there shouldnt be to many dramas. How much power is is putting down do you know ? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/351052-32-gtr-forged-engine/#findComment-5633119 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beelzebub89 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 If it was built 3 years ago and still appears to be in good running order then there should be no reason not to get another few years out of it.

GTScotT Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 If it was built right it should last as long as your usage implies. If you pump your -5s to max capacity and run it on the knifes edge on the track every day of its life, you will get about as long a life span as you would any other race motor before it needs rebuild (not very long at all). Yet if you were to daily it and take exceptional care of it I anticipate it would possibly last as long as a factory built motor. I would probably change that N1 oil pump to a Nitto or JUN item though, that is the weakest link at present.

Rolls Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 The only way to know would be to strip it down which kind of defeats the purpose. Who knows it could have been slapped together on the grass in someone's back yard with all the tolerances wrong and it might last a week, it could have had everything done perfectly at a shop and then run with no oil, or everything could be fine and it could last 100,000kms?

snozzle Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 well.. if its lasted 3 years and is still running sweet today, not burning oil etc, im sure its been built some sort of standard - but as said earlier, it could go bang 2moro or could go for another 5 years - too many variables!

Char Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 do u have any proof that the engine is even built? or did he just hand u receipts from when his friends, friends built a motor. common misconception is that building a motor gives u fully awesome big power, when all it does is make the engine components stronger. sure u can make 650rwhp and the motor will last 12months or you can run the same motor at 300rwhp and last 10years 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/351052-32-gtr-forged-engine/#findComment-5637208 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R31Nismoid Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 do u have any proof that the engine is even built? or did he just hand u receipts from when his friends, friends built a motor. I'd be thinking a similar thing. If it was from ICE down here in Vic, I'd be even more worried... There were plenty of no-so favourable experiences that myself and several friends went through before they shut doors.

DVS JEZ Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Maybe it was 450 hp. Sounds more realistic Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/351052-32-gtr-forged-engine/#findComment-5637374 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps those posters are thinking that whoever told you it made 450 is a liar, and therefore you cannot trust anything else this person has said to you. Also *middle sway bar ( in photo of interior) <= WTF??!! *torque split controller( not working at the moment will try to get fixed before sale) <= if the controller doesnt work it will be taily but still put torque to the front wheels. If it doesnt, it could be expensive to fix. *drilled rotors <= likely to crack with track use Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/351052-32-gtr-forged-engine/#findComment-5637568 Share on other sites More sharing options...
