My R33 is inside my garage, after heavy pushing and steering, and I’m starting to inspect engine problem. The engine is currently won't cranking, and I want to find out what is at fault. I tested battery, but seen it was completed dead, so I recycled old battery and bought a brand new battery, and installed it, but still not to cranking the engine. I could hear fuel pump is working, same as starter but it seen to struggle to crank it. It was given me head scratching, same time my phone was ringing, it was my mother.
I pick up and accept call. Mum: Hello, daring! How are you? Me: I’m good, thanks. Mum: Do you need car? Me: Yes, why? Mum: I’m selling my Skyline 350GT. Me: Bring to my private garage when you’re free. Mum: Sure, and I gotta go, bye! I was amazed, she was going to selling mint condition Nissan Skyline 350GT to me. Perfect my new daily! Back to Skyline, I checked the oil level, I was shocked. It is emptied, barely left. I grabbed socket and breaker bar, and I try to turn it. It was hell stuck, and barely movement. I thought; That engine is seized up. I being to drain all the fluids off, and removing mostly front body part. I disconnecting wires connector and hoses, also I label it so I know where it will be connected to. I disconnected transmission and supported by axle stand so it won’t dropped on the floor. I’m double checking to make sure nothing connected, then I bring engine crane and chained to engine eyes point, and I remove engine mount, I pulled engine forward, finally it was out of the car! I put engine front of R33.  Same time, my mum was arrived at my private garage, she saw I was staring to R33. Mum: Hello Landon, and you got other car? Me: Oh hello, mum. Yes, bought from police auction. Approving it need new engine, and other stuff. Loads of work. Mum: Oh nice, and you told me to bring my car? Me: Yes, let me look. I’m taking the time to inspecting her car, and I was amazed, I cannot not find anything wrong with it, runs very smooth and quiet. She wants to sell her car because she got other new car coming and she want sell quickly since she hasn't got space to park. It came with loads of paperwork of maintenance records. She is asking 5,000 V$, I thought it was cheap. I bought it!       Such clean and mint condition 350GT, and my new daily, so I can easy for me to get parts for my R33. Alright, I’m head home and researching online about engine costs. I'm looking for RB25/26, with RWD layout. Not fancy going to AWD. Wallet; Before total price ~ 15,500 V$ Battery ~ -50 V$ Nissan Skyline 350GT ~ -5,000 V$ After total price ~ 10,450 V$ |
