Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

i changed my spark plugs last night. wow that was some serious fun! haha no seriously it was!!

anyway on saturday night i had a feeling to check my 1 cylinder plug dont know why just did. and im glad i did the electrode was melted away! so yesterday i changed them (im so proud of myself lol) to discover that not only cylinder one was like that but also cylinder three. so im guessing that just means that those two cylinders are creating more heat than the others cause they were melted at all.

my god its made a difference though she is heaps smoother now and this morning was the true test. normally when the cold choke is on and you accelerate, it feels like something is holding the car back from getting speed, but then it will allow the car to speed up (its weird) but this morning it didnt happen! i originally brought it down to the Power FC cause the spark plugs that were in there had only been put in just before Extreme Horsepower last year, so i didnt even think that it could have been the sparkies at all.

i know its probably not the best pic, but the sparkies on the left was taken out of cylinder three and the one on the right from cylinder five. just to show the difference.

Hey Cara, like Cubes said get it looked at ASAP, there's a good reason why plugs melt and in your case I'm guessing it's either way too lean or the NOS that you ran.

Could it be that it was tunned for no2 and it doesnt run it all the time

With N20 you shouldn't be melting the strap.

Cara. Do you run a wet or dry system?

Also steer clear of platinum plugs with n20. Use good old coppers or iridium.

hey guys

ive spoken to my tuner and i have also come up with some ideas on why the sparkies have melted.

my tuner has said that she could be running to lean on the top end, which means if i have to much open throttle i could do damage to the engine. im gonna try and book her in this week. im really worried about it cause i dont want to have damaged the pistons let alone blow my engine :( its a sickening thought that there could be damage already done because i dont know how long the spark plugs have been like that.

the ideas ive come up with why they have melted is the nos (plugs just couldnt handle it), extreme detonation (which was happening), the mixtures isnt right at the moment, blockage somewhere, i changed the o2 sensor so im thinking that might be a reason too, i havent really done much to the engine of recent other than the rocker cover gaskets and the o2 sensor. before that the power fc, gtt injectors and nos was put in

there is so many possibilities on why this could have happened. im not pointing the finger at my tuner for doing a crap job cause i know he knows what he is doing.

and Cubes its a wet system.

mind you guys her last tune was in december (maybe over due big time)

it hasnt been detonating since the new O2 sensor was put in

ive heard my car ping before, but that was just a matter of getting the timing put back to fix it

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      I am going to chime in here and say that is very bad advice for a built motor, making decent power of 400kW+ Especially if the rings have been gapped on the looser side. The more power you make the heavier you need your oil to be to be able to maintain that suspension between the moving parts, if not you'll have journals and bearings making love and grenade a motor. Remember that all moving parts inside the motor aren't ball bearing and are journal bearings and require oil to separate the surfaces from contacting.

      ENR34 - Leaking Transfer Case

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      ENR34 manual transmission transfer cases are 33100-23U00 which is shared with all of the R32/R33 GT-Rs and GTS-4s. And the C34 Stagea. Do not bother with automatics, that is a huge effort to swap and the car will be worse for it. And an automatic transfer case does not have the right housing for the shifter which comes out the back of the transmission and goes through the transfer case. I already posted my response on reddit but if you didn't see it there here it is: You have almost certainly damaged the transfer case, the only question is how badly. Nobody can tell you how bad without more information. If you have a giant hole in the transfer case pissing out all the transfer case fluid then you need a new one. If it's not that bad then the only question is whether you burned up the clutches. Drain the transfer case oil and inspect for metal on the drain plug magnet. Small black filings are normal. Big chunks of metal or a ton of black fuzzies not so much. Fluid should be nice and red. Any other color isn't great. If the color is reasonably red and there's not a bunch of clutch material discoloring it or anything like that you probably got away with insubstantial excess wear not worth trying to fix. If you have to rebuild or replace the transfer case keep in mind you have to pull the transmission to get it off.

      By blind_elk · Posted

      Can I suggest a 15W50 oil is too heavy. Its a brand new engine - you should be able to run something like a 10W30. Shove some steel wool into your catch can  - more technically "oil/air separator" - so that the oil vapour has something to condense on.
