Hey guys

I've purchased a S15 shell with a SR20DET that hasn't been started in a few months, and has been sitting outside as well.


Any tips or words of advice before I try to turn it over?


Mods, apologies if this is in the wrong section, please move to the appropriate section!


Cheers

Oil change, pull the plugs out, pull fuel pump fuse so injectors don't fire and turn the engine over untill you get oil pressure. put plugs and fuse back in and start it.

The oil will be fine as long as it still looks like oil- no water contamination, it's not black tar, etc.

It is better to change it hot so you get more of it out. So warm it once, then change it and the oil filter.

Other than that, exactly what was said. Have a good condition battery, Disable fuel, and turn the motor over to build oil pressure before starting.

As long as its all plumbed in (no chance of water getting into the intake/exhaust) it will be fine.

If concerned, turn it over by hand first, before you strike the starter.

      My first thought is to use something like this https://www.bunnings.com.au/goof-off-177ml-adhesive-remover_p1580913

      A lot of the trim pieces on the E39 are super brittle and just dissolve when you try to get them off. It looks like a previous owner has used what can only be described as an industrial construction foam adhesive to glue down a tiny piece of trim.  Unfortunately this part of the tailgate is starting to rust because of how much shit is in here. This is stopping the water draining and there's a big build-up of dirt that is just staying wet. How can I remove this? Would a flap disc get rid of this?  I think this car spent a lot of time inland. There's so much light coloured, fine dirt and dust everywhere.  Sorry for the pic. I've cleaned this all up now so I'll get another pic of it clean today.

      Surely, just about any shop that has done a Skyline (or Supra, or RX-7, or EVO, or WRX) will have done E85. But perhaps you need to specify what type of car, what type of engine, what ECU, you propose to be using.

      Try an oil additive. There's a couple of options for "easier shifting". These are essentially a similar idea to what Redline put into their Shockproof gear oils. I had a 2nd hand R33 (in fact, as of right now, it is still in the car) that simply would not engage any gear with the engine running, with normal gear oil in it. We dropped that and replaced it with Shockproof lightweight, and suddenly the gear lever did what it was supposed to. At a cost, of course, of the then ongoing damage to internals done by running Shockproof. But the synchros were already totally uninterested in life, so there was no loss.
