Hey guys new to sau and the whole skyline scene. Have got myself a 92 r32 gtst with an rb20 that's sitting on an engine stand currently. I've been replacing bits and pieces such as gaskets and seals before it goes back in so I don't drop it in and find rear seals got a leak etc. I've recently picked up a hks2530 for $200, shaft has slight play with no fin damage, all in all I think it was a good buy but getting back to the means of this post can any of you's recommend a good place in nsw pref closer towards the central coast that will do a rebuild as in new bearings? (Or does the whole chra need to be replaced instead of just the bearings?) any help would be greatly appreciated!

If the shaft play isn't too excessive then for $200 I'd probably just stick the turbo on and see how long it lasts.

If it lasts a year then it's probably worth it. By the time it fails you'll have the money for something better.

    • Keeping in mind that for most people this is a week to month long job!
    • Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
    • What air filter are you running? Is it a panel filter in the stock air box, or a pod filter? Is the air filter the type that is oiled?   If you unplug the IACV, what rpm does the engine idle at?
    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
