92' GTR R32 Engine Blowing up !! HELP !!

[skylineinsane]

What's up guys !

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

this is serious driving me insane !!

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.. @#@$%

Your story with the pre-purchase inspections sounds just like mine.

They didn't check anything and when i actually bought the car it came with a few costly and unexpected problems...Something which i hadn't budgeted for

You have my sympathy.

[dairyboy]

Would you be able to tell me the name of the company? PM me thanks as it might be against the rules to mention things like that in public. There's this common occurance of dodgy middleman and off the back of my head there's 2 of them in Melbourne..

[fatz]

dodgy!

sorry tohere it

always get a compression test mate!

I've had my engine rebuilt by John White Race Engines at Buranda, 07 3391 7533. Marty has done quite a few GTR's before including one that currently runs high nines.

As for clutches mine is from Direct Clutch at Albion, 07 3862 2680.

sounds like when i bought my car. It passed the compression test but other crap went wrong (clutch cylinder, head gasket etc...) Lucky I budgeted for it but still...

you have my sympathy vote too mate.

You do get what you pay for with GTR's, but Marty @ John White Racing Engine does a nice job.

I'd be getting a 2nd opinion though.. white smoke? Oil or steam? Under load or cruise? Hot or cold? What are the compression figures?

[Guest r34gttblack]

so sorry to hear that. i hope you find someone who can help you out.

[Guest INASNT]

Sorry to hear man.

Hope all the people running out and buying cheap 89 GTR's realise this sorta thing can happen to them also.
