I am wondering people if you thought a GTR could be sold

with a busted engine and is there anyone who might be

interested. I am getting frustrated with my car situation and

am CONSIDERING the idea of selling this one to lessen my woes.

Would I be better off getting it rebuilt first or is this more money

wasted? I am sure there are heaps of people who would love

to take it off my hands for **** ALL but thats not really what

I want.

Thank You :D

Hmmmm.......An interesting one.

I think most "serious" GTR buyers would realise that an engine rebuild is on the cards sooner or later, especially when you start to lean on an older motor fairly heavily.

Me personally? I would have been happy to have had the opportunity to buy my GTR for say $3,000 cheaper (guessing this amount for a BASIC rebuild including parts and labour) as I was expecting a rebuild anyway (although it did come a bit TOO soon).

See how many bites you get first. Good luck dude.

Well I'm not sure if any keyhole surgery has been performed but I was informed

that the leakdown test told the doctor where it was leaking to. He said past piston no.6 - broken ringland I think. I was hoping for just valve damage as the head has to come off because of the gasket, but that wouldn't cause the blowby that was happening.

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
