The Padre

Great thread for us new guys. Search FTW. I bought my car recently off a friend; 1990 R32 GTR. He did all the work, well paid for it, as I remember helping him with most of the stuff. I spent plenty of my weekends in his garage helping him out. So for me it was a good buy, as I knew the car inside out. I am wondering if the engine is showing signs of 20years worth of wear, because it has all the following parts and puts out 260kw at the wheels at 22psi with sub 20 reading on the PFC knock sensor. Garrett -7's 3" + dumps 550s yellow tails coils PFC Z32’s AFM cam gears Nismo fuel reg and 044 pump oil cooler serviced and dyno'd at CRD CRD have been great, so I think it’s the engine. Should I start preparing for an engine build? Slowly start accumulating parts like an N1 block, pistons.... If so, should I stick with updating the usual suspects, water/oil pumps, pistons …..

I think the dude needs bigger glasses!
