February 4, 200521 yr comment_30753 OK so teddy found a gze for cheap, having a look at it on Sunday. Seems almost to good, i don't think it comes with ECU/wiring harness or radiator. But for how much its cheap. But if it dosnet run ie no ECU. is there any signs to say "I'M A BIG PIECE OF SHIT AND YOU GETTING RIPPED OFF" ? because you no the saying, "if its too good to be true it probly is" Report
February 4, 200521 yr comment_30755 I'd be more inclined to buy a complete running 1/2 cut, then you can tell it runs.. only way you can really test anything on a bare motor is a compression test, even then that won't tell you much about the rest of the engine.. Report
February 4, 200521 yr comment_30759 gze's....on average have been flogged and/or broken... ur best bet is to find a running halfcut/// Report
February 4, 200521 yr comment_30772 pull the cam covers off and see what it looks like look into as much of the cooling system as possible. pull the sump off... all depends on how much of a gamble your willing to make... are you intending to rebuild it? is it complete with s/c? are you gunna turbo it?

February 4, 200521 yr Author comment_30773 yes it comes with SC along with new clutch and Gbox :D Edited February 4, 200521 yr by Jason Report
February 5, 200521 yr Author comment_30790 also comes with a hole car..... :D needs to be rebuilt, I'm still thinking. Problems.... Hasn't been used in god knows how long Motor is in pieces but all the parts are there... some were in the car. SC moves freely, but there a slight knock were the pulley touches the case.

February 5, 200521 yr comment_30791 lets say the motor is a dud...can you deal with having to rebuild it? (time, money etc). If you can't then don't risk it...keep looking and hopefully you'll get a running 1/2 cut at a decent price theres not much else you can do beyond what mr revhead has suggested & if its been sitting for long time... :D plan for the worst but hope for the best...at least you can't be disappointed :P Report
February 5, 200521 yr comment_30792 Ae86 sprinter with a bita rust, all panels + a 4agze motor which was working when it came out. + freking heaps of extras... i liked. :D Edited February 5, 200521 yr by Teddy Report
February 5, 200521 yr comment_30797 personally if i had the cash i'd buy it, sell the body for $1500 then you get a free engine.. Report
February 5, 200521 yr Author comment_30804 by the look were the dizzies mounted its from a AW11 = AFM = crapish but ive herd of people converting them? no? I'm not gonna post pics cuse ill probably get bashed up :D its been sitting for a VERY long time... o and btw i was aways planning to rebuild it Edited February 5, 200521 yr by Jason Report
February 5, 200521 yr Author comment_30811 whats involved? With the old GZE Ive come to find there pistons are not ceramic coated :D and baring and pins not a strong :P :S as well as having a lower compression Report
February 5, 200521 yr comment_30813 ALL 4agze pistons are ceramic coated. aw11 on left ae92 onwards on the right the cranks, rods etc etc are the same. they are not weaker engines. cure for lower compression is more boost.... from the sounds of it the s/c could be poo. so go turbo afm isnt crapish, just not as powerful in stock form as the map engines. Edited February 5, 200521 yr by Mr Revhead Report
February 5, 200521 yr Author comment_30815 stupid internet and people putting false stuff on it :D ok, people say AFM sucks so eh. Ill probly convert to map any way. Yere about the S/C it spins REALLY freely, but it has a knock here. Edited February 5, 200521 yr by Jason Report
