Found the problem, after ordering o2 sensors (x2 for gtr's). Got the car on to a four wheel dyno and found out my ECU was chipped (suprise, suprise) as datascan wouldnt connect to it. Started a dyno run and the car was flooding the engine with so much fuel it was CRAZY. Eventually the tuner diagnosed that the knock sensor was cause, turned the crank angle sensor all the way and the engine didnt ping at all... meaning it was running on limp mode (apparently when the ECU cant detect the knock sensor it automatically goes into damage control mode and disregards all timing, plus floods the engine with fuel). Have a Power FC on the way, hopefully i get the GTR back on its feet. Thanks to everyone that helped with this topic!

Go SAU!

yeah, i had pretty much the same problem as you Scratch..

my dump o2 sensor died after getting my car tuned for my new afc NEO, for the first time,

must have have over-done-it at ovaboost..

or they didnt tune it correctly..

because like 2 days later my car went into limp mode...

fine 1 sec and then, boom nothing...couldnt rev past lik 2500/3000rpm...so bad :|

so i ended up reseting my tuned afc to drive..lol

but i took it too a different tuner this time(speedworks) and they tuned it up nicely =)

i get round 400-500k's trashing tank, and highway/city traffic driving too...

so yeah

i recommend and apexi a/f controller for those getting bad fuel eco,....

but yeah, i want a power fc too...should solve all problems...

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
