Hey guys im looking at buying a 1993 s1 r33 gtst and it's had alot of engine work done. It's currently producing 307rwkw. Now the guy that's selling it said he carnt find any receipts for any of the work done to it because he's moved house an there lost hmm:/ this is where it gets tricky:) the block he assures me is forged (built by pavtech) now he carnt tell what it's built with in side being that he has to much money an he has no idea about cars!

When I was there an started it (when cold) it had what sounded like piston slap untill it came up on temp abit, he says that's the way a forged block sounds when you start it an it's could:) is this correct, can they chatter abit untill it gets warm?? It also has no cold idle start so it takes a while to.

My one is forged and still sounds normal. Im not sure with skylines but with evos you can take out the spark plugs and see the piston head sometimes you can tell if it has forgees. Otherwise its a big gamble...

IMO i wouldn't buy it without some sort of receipts or proof. it just sounds like a big dodgee deal to me, it may not be but im just real fussy and careful when im buying cars.

if you treat it like a forged one and it isnt you will get a big ka-boom lol

Are ok well I pick the car up Tommorow so I'll do a quick check an see! I also got in contact with the person that built the motor today an he assures me it has been built, he remembers building it 1.5 years ago and since then it's only seen 10,000 kms so it should be what they say it is:/ I'm a very fussy Pearson myself but I've done all the checks I can an it all seems fine so I can only go on that..

    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
