Guest Moses Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 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.

Guest Moses Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Well, really after advise at this stage. Was a fast car with heaps of engine mods (450rwhp) potential for much more with forged pistons '92 R32 GTR 1 piston down, head gasket leak. Looking for 30k when interior is finished.

Gav Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 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. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/39221-i-hate-cars/#findComment-796750 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB20LagWagon Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Sell mods to fund rebuild, sell car standard. Got more chance of selling it that way. Also learn to use spacebar.

red17 Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 You sure its done a piston and its not just a burnt valve causing the lack of compression? I presume youve had an endoscope down the bore to make sure. Could largely change the cost of the repairs.

Guest Moses Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 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.

GTS-t VSPEC Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Josh, I know you've had a heap of back luck with the car already, but I think once the engine is rebuilt you'll be more than happy with it:D Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/39221-i-hate-cars/#findComment-798585 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Moses Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Yeah I'm sure it would be awesome, but I'd hate to think the same could happen again because of a small oversight. Don't know what I'll do yet, am having a hard time offloading the wrex. Thinking the skyline might be easier to get rid of. Missus is starting to get pissed.
