Hi everyone,

I'm new, in terms of being active, on the forum.

Formerly 'ruskter' (when I was on my L's with a manual r33)

I recently aqcuired my full licence and I'm now the proud owner of an R34 GTT ☺

I'm in Sydney and always keen to go for a drive and whatnot ?

However my engine needs either a headgasket if im lucky, a full rebuild if im not.

Alternatively a replacement engine may be an option. These are the issues:

headgasket (oil in the radiator and blows smoke)

Has noisy lifter or something near the front exhaust side of the engine.

Was certain it was missing power so I did a compression test myself last week and found out it has low compression cyl 1 and 2 (around 55-70 compared to 150ish on cylinders 3 to 6)

Idle at 1250rpm

Ive gotten a quote from a decent mechanic across the road from my house and they said 1500 for the head gasket which seems cheap but not sure if it would need more repairs (and im broke as)

Any advice would be much appreciated!!

    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
    • Sounds like a misfire. Check fuel pressure and don't even think about going into boost while it's like this unless you enjoy engine rebuilds.
