Bought Myself Another Gtr Problem

[jays r33 gtr]

Hey Sau's

So over the long weekend i had picked up another GTR R32 for a good price... i thought it would be a good idea just to drive around in a std GTR until mine was finished with my court proceedings..

so after owning the car for 26hours the motor decided to let go on me my misses was taking it for a drive at the time when the car sounded like it let something go and just turned off..

after trying to get the car to start again i checked the oil (i know i should of checked this before) but i was planning on servicing the car the next day before driving it again.. i had notice it was low

now i have no idea what could be wrong but i assume the worst either the timing belts gone or its spun a bearing.. i know you can't tell what wrong without looking at it but i want peoples thoughts on what is the cheapest way to get this car going again as i dont want to be stuck with 2 GTR's that dont work

should i bother gettting it looked at or fine a replacement motor???

If it turns out to be a belt or bearings cheapest and fastest way will be replace the engine

Hit up fatz, he probably has a few growing in his engine patch part of his garden.

Sucks your engine died. I find them to be pretty reliable motors.

spoke to JEM and Skyline spares will have a heart transplant done for $4900 and i could hopefully sell what ever is good from the other motor

Work out if its the timing belt first and if it is drop a second hand head on the block and piss it off .

If not change the bottom end

what would a second hand head on a rb26 cost tho?

I've heard so many of these stories where people buy 32 gtrs and 2 weeks later theve spun bearings. There notorious for there oil pump problems and being such an old car, I would be reluctant t take the risk on one, unless it was rebuilt not to long ago...maybe that's why u got at the "bargain price" u did
