Hi all,

I have had some extremely bad luck and am now looking at my options and would like expressions of interest / offers.

My R32 GTR which has had thousands of dollars spent on it has developed a crack in the engine block :(

The car was running perfect up until recently where I had the head pulled off to check for a suspected head gasket issue to find that the engine block has a split in it :( The motor was pulled apart by Racepace.

There a four options I'm looking at:

1 - Sell the car as is. The engine has been removed and stripped down. I have sourced a new engine block to do a full swap over of all engine parts. I have been quoted $4300 to rebuild the motor as it was. This option would suit someone who is extremely picky wants a dead clean car with a freshly rebuilt motor or has a driveline available from a smashed car?

2 - Sell the car as a stock GTR. Strip the car of all its mods (sell all aftermarket mods i.e. turbos, wheels, brakes etc). Sell the car with stock rb26dett or as a complete car less motor.

3 - Strip the whole car down. Fully Strip car i.e. parts/panels etc.

4 - Keep the car and let it sit there until I have funds to fix.

Before the issue I was chasing $33,000. As said im looking for offers I would rather sell the car as a whole to someone who will get it back on the road as it truly is an amazing car. Still currently registered, basically all it needs is the motor back in it.

If you are interested please contact me immediately as I would like to make a decision with this ASAP.

Its a great looking car and very nice mods, very unfortunate to hear about the engine woes mate.

Hopefully something comes out of it for you whichever path you go down

Sympathy Bump

Thats fair enough If i dont get a decent offer I will just strip it or let it sit there.

As I said its perfect for someone who wants a clean GTR with all supporting mods and a FRESH motor. OR Someone who has a motor available but no car.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
