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.

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
