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

      Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.

      No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
