i recently fitted a FMIC kit to my r32, when we pulled the pipes off they had noticable oily residue in them. Is this normal?

Also car seems to be hesitant to rev after 4000 and only really revs to maybe 6000 sometimes.

what could be causing this? as im new to skylines (pistons actually)

How much oil is there? My supra has an oily film\residue in the intake piping aswell and have been assured by other import owners\mechanics that it is normal for turbo cars with a fair bit of mileage. If there is heaps though it is most likely your turbo seals are gone and they will need rebuilding.

Does your car blow any smoke?

got told this morning by my mate that when i took off there was smoke (black) coming out of my exhaust. But when it warmed up, no smoke. really only because i had just started it that morning.

black smoke is normal = running rich.

i have always been under the impression alittle bit of oil buildup in the cooler pipe was ok

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
