Really Need Help :'(

[Boost'n'bass93]

Hey not sure if this is a topic but I desperately need help.

Ill try to keep it short but basically have a '94 R33 coupe series 1 with a sunroof only had her for a few months, bought from a lebanese guy....this is both me nd my partners dream car...so we cleaned her up, black bonnet, sound system etc. he did not look after her at all. We had a good run then problem after problem started.

PROBLEM #

1. Rocket cover leaking - fixed it

2. Hicas light only comes on once the car has been started then turned off for a short period of time. If let for roughly an hour it stays off (still not fixed)

3. Clutch started to squeak nd a tiny plastic bit just fell to the floor inside the car one day (still squeaking but clutch works perfect althought a bit sticky)

4. Driving nicely nd heard this noise like say a dragon flys wings right near ur ear. Tow trucked it home, pulled it all apart harmonica balancer is a bit thrashed out nd the 2 keys that hold it it place nd the crank pulley pretty much weren't there. Aparentl a ceased aircon system can cause it? Replaced those, put her all back together (first didn't even want to start timing woz out, lined all the notches up nd she started) now took her for a run bit sluggish but she still drove, boost leak? Fixed all of them (who ever came up with the 6piece intercooler pipe system should be shot!) cool she ran better nd better with every tweak. Got home turned her off nd there woz with weird bubbling noise coming from the back of the motor my partner thought it woz bottom end but we never bled the radiator system so I thought mayb airbubles. But the tapping/knocking noise is still their i figured it woz the harmonica balancer against the timing case since it looks a bit wonky wen she idles but as the revs pick up the straightens out, it's not a whole heap but just enough for u to notice. Good old YouTube nd partner reckons the noise is definitely death knock. I'm hoping its no or ill cry problem after problem can anyone shed some light coz I'm lost nd I really do not want to get rid of her or spend 3-4k on a rebuild! :'(

Best to throw a second hand engine in it and replace the fuel pump (that is normally what kills the engine) and look forward to the next issue

the fuel pump works fine as does water pump & aftermarket oil pump =/

So you had it properly flow tested and made sure its up to the task by a professional?

Because they wear out and their flow rate slows down meaning they run the car but under full load they don't supply enough fuel, which leans the engine out and the bearings get hammered and you get a death knock

can pick up a motor for next to nothing...get one from a reputable company like just jap or somthing and drop it straight in....you will be far better off unless you do want to go for the full rebuild

well no, but im 100% sure its fine coz she guzzles fuel fine (badly needs a tune) lucky to get 250 from a full tank....took her to the mechanics this morning and its coming from the timing cover near the bottom not the actualy engine which just confuses me that bit more
