What's up guys !

Can someone plz plz give me a hand with this hey,

this is serious driving me insane !! :cheers:

Couple of month ago I bought a 1992 Sliver GTR R32 from

Melbourne for a good price, I only paid $28,000 for it , after the

car passed the inspection from Melbourne, I paid $1,450 to

get it over in Brisbane, then another $900 to register it..

And a couple of weeks ago white smoke starts to come out

form the exhaust, well... I didn't really give a thing in the start,

but it keep on happaning so I took it to the work shop.

I thought it's probably my turbo is getting old,

time to chuck a new one on it.

Unfortunally the mechanic walks out and told me the turbo is

quite fine, so there could be a problem with the engine. so then

we did a Engine Comperssure test, the first 3 cylinders was all good,

but drop the compressure on the last 3 cylinders ...OMG @#$%@& :):);)

and the gearbox oil is leaking .... and all this problems..

This is been bothering me to the max , I have already spend over 30k on the car,

and it just ........

And i thought it passed the inspection in Melbourne, ..

and the guy I bought the car from,

his phone is switched off...@#$@%%

next time I better not buy a car without seeing it hey ..

So.. PLZ.. somebody give me some ideas

where should I go to do a Engine Rebuilt,

I live in Brissy , and also where should I buy clutches,

cos the clutch on the car is gettign sliper and sliper.. @#@$% :D

depending on how long ago the car passed roadworthy you may be able to ring the workshop that inspected the car and ask them, how exactly they passed a car with oil leaks etc...worth a try as many dodgy workshops are being repremanded by the government transport department. If not have a ring around brissy there are plenty of workshops who will do the job of a rebuild. Just make sure you know what exactly is wrong and what needs and doesnt need fixing, so you dont get ripped off! Good luck

Dude, if you want parts, pm me. I will ship them from overseas. Maybe consider a stroker kit, like HKS, if you've got the cash lying around. Forget about the stock block. Get an N1 block from Nismo, they're 3k a pop.

HKS stroker kits come with pistons, con rods and crank. Put it all in and you should have a decent engine. Head work is the next thing you would look at, get it port and polished to maximise your bottom end. And don't forget about your sump baffle while you're at it.

If you've got about 40-45k lying around, I can get you an 800hp Tomei engine, or a JUN engine built to your specifications.

The warranties arent what they seem unfortunately,

The cover certain parts to a certain value.

IE; The engine to 2000, the clutch to 500 etc etc

so warranties from dealerships are pretty much useless.

Goto Gavin woods or someone with expierence in internal work on RB26DETT

Almost the exact same thing happended to me beginning of this year. car was a little cheaper though. It is currently at Autotech (Gavin Woods) with motor out at the moment.

I will have spent 30k by the end, but it has to fresh turbos already.

So if all goes well I haven't done that badly.

Previous owner wound up boost after it was rebuilt last year. His mechanic did the check over of the car for me....

Im the one thats silly enough to believe older ppl don't rip ppl off.... blah blah blah

This was in a ute not the GTR. luckily

Im hoping everything is sweet once the motor is back in place... I dont plan on modding the car, just enjoying it.

One good thing about a GTR as opposed to a commodore, your not forever modding it trying to make it go like a GTR

thats teach everyone a lesson,you pay for what you get,good GTR always hold the value very well,only a doge GTR or poor condition GTR sell cheap, you should spend more money to get right GTR,not try to spend less and get shit car,

i sold my GTR32 for 36k few months ago,the new owner very happy for the car and never have any problem at all,

i think you should try to get some used R33GTR engine,it wil cost you 5k to buy and you still can sell you old motor for 2k,its work out cheaper,

good luck

hey matt with the oil leak on the road worthy

the car can have a oil seep's meaning that the cross member can be fully covered in oil & it can still pass,the only problem is that it must drip more than 3 time

in 60 sec to fail all that most small shops will do is just wipe or wash the cross

member off & pass it. witch is BULL S**T & a real :kick: 4 the poor prick that

buys the car.

this is the only time it is worth taking a car into a dealer ship because the dealer's have a lot more to lose, most car yards have a mechanical shop they send all there cars to meaning that the mechanical shop will let small things go through

dealer ship's are a lot more strict with their road worthy's

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.

      So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg

      Nissan fuga 450gt android screen

      By Duncan · Posted

      That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
