There'a a thread in the maintenence forum.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...+engine+failure

Most failures are due to something, whether, k's, abuse or poor tune.

My rb20 just got very tired after about 180k and constant abuse. When pulled down it was in pretty good condition considering, just worn bearings and rings, everything else was in pretty good condition.

well the one i buying has ks abused by ppl that stole it and a ****ed tune

I am going to do my Best to fix it up hope it isn't to long gone

i won't care if i have to rebuild it in about a year but i just wanta get a year

going to knock them 1500 off the price

my advice. don't buy it. it's been stolen and thrashed. plus you say it has a bad tune. doesn't sound good. don't forget they haven't just been sitting still revving it. they have been DRIVING it so most likely have worn the clutch possibly damaged the box too. if you must buy it (dunno why) make them knock a lot more than 1500 off.

yeah lot of skylines... if its had a bad tune and possible detonation then who knows the extent of the damage to the engine... there plenty of 94 95 ish skylines for around 15K in great condition

...also add to the fact that - although it was driven 30k's...

Ill bet you the guy(s) didnt warm the car up first, they thrashed the hell out of it while still cold...turbo spooling, etc etc...and THEN went high speed !!

Im sure the oil pressure wouldve been great for those 30k's...

Most cars are pretty tough, test it out thoroughly. All these cars have been in Japland for years, through compliancing etc, to the track i.e probably at some stage flogged quite hard..I dont think 30kms of hard driving will kill it.

Be skeptical of it i.e. get someone who knows to check it out for you. You can tell if a clutch and gearbox are good. You can get a compression check..

i agree

im sure a good flogging for 30kms is nothing compared to the hard caning it has had its whole life anyway :rant:

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
