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.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
