Changed oil now idles at 14.7. Thinking of turning off O2 feedback and having someone drive and tune myself.

R32 running rich after power fc re-initialize Car running rich even at idle after warm up. Wideband shows 13.5 and if I floor it it will drop to 10. I do have o2 feedback on with month old o2 sensors installed. I reinitialized the power fc and dropped timing to 39 instead of 45 on the middle load spots and did 30 minute learn session but car was already warmed up. I also just verified the o2 sensors are tightened. Cleaned the MAFs last night. I have hks intakes, impul front pipe, decat, and a very old hks silent hi power exhaust. Meth kit installed but off and empty while I figure this out. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! edit: also I replaced the ignition harness with a new oem one. edit2: Just disconnected the top Maf and it went straight to 14.7 and idled fine. Bad Maf?

Ok. Used some liquid wrench on them. Hoping for the best. Thanks for the help!

Feels like its going to snap when I use a wrench on the above pipes. Do they screw right off?

How do I remove 14498-05U14 please? I dug through the manual but didn't find anything. Do I start by removing the bolts on this end(in attached image)? Kind of lost since I was unable to source the replacement yet but would at least like to do the first part while I wait. I am going to use Amayama since no shops in Japan could get it for me. Thank you!

I'm down... once I fix this coolant leak.

I will get the kit I found on the japan yahoo auctions and probably do what I can. I have access to a lift(hoist) and many tools. Definitely going to get a new radiator as mine is pretty rusty looking on the inside. I should've swapped it when I got the car. Wish I had the extra cash to drop it off somewhere. Bet this job will be a pain.

Thank you so much for your help!

RB26 Coolant Leak Noticed temp getting near 100c so I shut down. Noticed a leak. After cooling I filled it up and squeezed pipes and found where its coming from. Anyone know the part number by chance? When I do squeeze it comes out the back of the metal pipe. It squirts straight so its a decent hole and not from the hose being loose. Its at the back of the block next to the firewall. Any help is greatly appreciated. -Dave

I don't blame you. I really wanted to get some more logs tonight but I have winter tires and it's all wet here in Kanagawa.

Nice! What do you have coming in? GTR?

Where do you guys find out about these meets? I just usually cruise around on the weekend. I have a midnight purple R32 GTR.

Just 2 more... Next time I will be sure to get more. I am trying to go to Daikokufuto and Tatsumi Parking area more often.

Right?!?! Can't believe I didn't think of March 2nd for 32's and that's what I have. Guess I will make it next year!

Sorry i'm not a photographer. Just a couple snapshots from last night. First picture is my favorite since all us midnight purple guys parked together. Mine is the dirty R32 in the bottom right.

Yeah dude! 2 years so far. 1 year owning the Midnight Purple R32 though...

First time so... Also met a couple SAU forum users from Perth that were really nice which is not surprising since Aussies have been nothing but nice. I guess even the guy on the Tokyo pub crawl that dropped his pants outside the next bar to show me a budgie smuggler.

hehe I won't. Also I'm an idiot and didn't have laptop charging so no logs in copilot or fcedit. I did do one lap on the c1 and used a gallon of meth.

Appreciate the advice. When I get some money saved up I will go to the local turner down the street that has the dyno. He mostly does rotaries but all the Silvia and GTR guys have been going there as well and aren't complaining. Like to do what I can on my own until then even though I know I need to take it there.

Thanks Johnny! I will be sure to do it tonight with some new logs with meth spraying. Planned on checking out the Wangan/Tatsumi Parking area as well as getting some pictures. Should be good times.

Hey! Long time lurker and figured I should register and talk because I bought one Feb last year. I own a 1991 R32 GTR in midnight purple. I currently live and work in Japan. Hate taking it to people to work on so doing what I can by myself. Lots of good info in this forum that has helped out. Thank you! -Dave https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAI5oShi-RK4sDVttF-Pwdg

Here is my current map. I am running stock turbos, HKS intakes, decat, HKS Hipower, and power fc. I had boost set to 1.0 kg cm^2 but I didn't reach it because the duty cycle wasn't set high enough. I hit .90. I now have it at 1.1 and lowered some timings and I also added AEM's water methanol kit with the 500cc nozzle. I will soon be doing a 3rd gear pull with my 35% methanol and 65% water mix. If anyone has suggestions they are greatly appreciated even if it's get your ass to a real tuner, haha! Thanks! -Dave
