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

Matt-

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

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
