jazz1 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Sure it's not linked to the head? Valves possibly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Sounds about right, Engine Rebuild - 30,000km usage then time for Rebuild #2 (I have nothing to add but thought I would try to be funny) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 Sure it's not linked to the head? Valves possibly? Could be , hopefully nothing too $$$ Everybody I know but one with a Skyline has had it rebuilt, generally last a few months from Japan here , scary!

jazz1 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Sounds like a nightmare to own one, no wonder why parts cost a lot must be demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 The bottom ends on all turbocharged Nissan engines from that era seem to be pretty fragile. RB, CA, SR, VG etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazz1 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 The rust/engine comments put me totally of buying one, I'm glad I stuck with the supra because to me it just looks so much more classy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
