OK guys we can rule out intercooler pipes blowing open under presure as these were all removed and doubble checked yesterday..... Still haven't done 02 sensor or fuel reg yet, hopefully these will be done today but i am at the mercy of the mechanic who just happens to be my girly's old man and for some reason like doing paying jobs more????????

Sorry for all those who are upset about moving their cars in and getting no hail....... next time we shall not warn at all!!!! he he. You lazy buggers whinging cause you moved your cars in and the sky didn't spew ice chunks on your cars!!!!!!

Hey everyone get your cars in a gararge somewhere the bom site is warning of flash floods hail stones and strong winds!!!!! http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDN65152.shtml

Ha ha... good thought but i dare not partake in such foolishness when the factory one is more than capable and one less thing to get deffected for, also they make enough noise standard i and my car is loud enough as it is!!! Thanks again for the idea but i think we can rule that one out as it seems to run the cold start up mode ok and it idles fine in this mode, all be it at about 1100rpm. Then settles down to its hunting on idle shennanigans after the car has warmed up so i think the cold start must be off after that..... Good idea though and one i'll investigate further if the others come up with no results!!!!

Thanks again guys! Will be checking all these options tomorrow hopefully. Ill post if anyone wins with their diagnosis..... keep anymore ideas coming though however stupid!!!!

Yeah just heard a few stories of older cars getting electrical gremlins!!! After all the old 89 r32's aint spring chickens no more!!!! Thought i would be a waste of time im just trying to think of everything. Funnyly enough me not being a mechanic means the most logical explinations dont always come to my mind first!!!! thanks again for the input guys!

Thanks for your 2cents... will check em again tomorrow but we did go over all the joins with soapy water to get some bubbles showing to no avail...... Its starting to s%#t me though so ill try anything!!!!

Yeah thats one of the on the list of things to try that we havent got to yet!!! Thanks paul Anyone else got any ideas????? Try swapping computers maybe???? By this i mean to another stock one.

Just jap kit will do fine.... just get someone who knows what there doing to install it and you will never have any problems with the kit. Competitvely priced to!!

also checked the cooler pipping and thats all fine!

Thanks for the heads up guys im open to more suggestions as this one's got me stumped. We did clean the air flow meter. but haven't checked the 02 sensor.... Excuse my ignorance but were abouts is this? do you mean the one in the exhaust???? or is there another in the manifold or something???

OK for all you budding or wannabe mechanics see if you have any ideas on this one..... even if they seem obvious im open to any suggestions!!!! My car doesn’t idle properly It hunts when stationary and sometimes goes close to or actually does stall when you lift off the throttle. The faster you lift off and the slower you are going the worse this is. Its running rich At the moment it is going through a full tank in 200km as apposed to the usual but not much better 350ish. This seems to be only intermittent though as sometimes you cant see any black smoke and other times there is heaps. By heaps I mean more than the usual skyline running rich on boost from factory. It is not boosting up properly It usually has positive boost by about 2500rpm but at the moment its not getting positive boost till more like 3000rpm to 3500rpm. It sounds like the turbo wastegate is opening early and bleeding off boost to early as you can hear the turbo spool up but nothing happens until later in the rev range. It is down on power all through the rev range Im sure this is quite obviously linked to the turbo problems. I have reset the ecu but this had no effect on any of the above problems. I have also had the air flow meter cleaned,the compression checked and im sure a few other things checked that i forget. As far as mods go it has a turbo back exhaust, pod filter, front mount although still running standard boost as the next step was to wind the wick up a little but that seeems kinda stupid at the moment given the way its running. factory computer, no boost controller. Any help would be much appreciated

ahhh, Nice choice, I have done the same but on the rear!!!!

Cheers for your 2c nib. Nizmoid I always use the search engine how ever i must be a complete rookie cause if i search this thread for r32 i get no results!!!! So sifting through 26 pages of posts when i type in turbo kinda gets boring

Not looking to get much more power only round the 160rwkw 180rwkw thats why i wasnt going to go to aftermarket. I dont want a race car just wanted a little more kw for my road car that gets maybe 3 or 4 track days a year!

Hey guys thinking about getting my engine rebuilt and while its out i thought i may well have a look at upgrading my turbo seeing as though the ceramic wheel 17yr old one probably isnt going to take to well to having extra air thrown at it. Im aware of all the dont go above 14psi and you should be right sort of deal but this turbo is getting kinda old now and id rather get it sorted while the engine is out. Anyone got any thoughts on rebuilds\hi flows with steel wheels or going with an r33gtst or 34 turbo?? are the r34 turbo wheels ceramic as well? Obviously i would be looking to get a re tune but im still looking to stay within the stock fuel injector level with maybe looking at getting an upgraded pump. Thanks

spotted a silver r32 gtst with ami something something plates turning on to warringah road at forestville

Just spotted white r33gtst on warringah road, mr33t plates I think with an envy sticker on the back window. I waned to play but i was good.

Hey shell, Just wanted to check with you guys i think it may be time for me to renew my membership but im not sure.... Thanks!

Hey guys just wondering if anyone is going to be out at eastern creek for the hsrca tasman meeting???? Im not sure if the old skylines are racing. Ill be out there racing in group s in a sunbeam alpine no.131 so if anyone is out there come say hi!!!! Should be a heap of cars, I think there is about 50 cars just in group s

Looking for a white r32gtst bootlid with no spoiler and the spoiler holes filled in!!!

spotted a white r32 gtr plates osaka driving on warringah freeway on the way into the city on saturday night. Also spotted a silver 33 turning onto adams street of forest way on sunday arvo i think the plates were maniac or something, Gave a wave !!!

Spotted a white r32 gtr yesterday afternoon going down mcarrs creek road obviously with a similar idea to me.... A spirited sunday drive through the national park!!!!!!

Hey guys, I work at channel ten and i to am pissed about losing the crazy taxi's. Whats happened is channel 7 put in a bid that was not comercially viable. So they will actually be running at a loss when the show the v8s. Why? i dunno maybe just to give us the finger at ten. Channel 7 are not going to be the ones producing the coverage, Avesco are suposedly creating a production team from scratch and then giving the footage to channel 7 to air, so you can bet it is going to have anything on the channel 10 broadcasts which ten have spent the last 10 years improving. The one good thing about this is that there should now be a more comprehensive coverage of things like wrc, moto gp, f1 and the likes. Hopefully more local stuff to. I dont work in the motorsport section so don't take my word for gospell but it should be a reasonably informed opinion. Also as far as i know all the comentators are probably still signed to ten so wont be going over to the channel 7 coverage.. well at least not yet.
