Ha, no sarcasm but words straight out of Kobayashi-san the arsehole boss of MCR's mouth. Although being second hand information, it comes without a warranty and is strictly No Claim No Return. But seriously, that many have crashed and apparently it's due to black box overload. When you start hitting ripple strips whilst applying the brakes or do other crazy maneuvers at high g-loads that pro drivers wouldn't do, the ABS, AYC, ALC, ADG, ARI, AVB and all the other anti fun devices overload and leave you to control an out of control 1700kg missile yourself.

So 10c to the guy who can pick what kind of car is squashing this perfectly good R35 GT-R.

Wow! Look at that cute bunny with the green bandanna.

I hope not! all going well i'll give one a little punt next month and I sure wouldn't want to be walking back to the pits after binning that!

because of medieval times the ill smelling umbrella it sends.

Not sure if this is true but was told by my friend in Singapore, the vehicle crashed in Malaysia has been repaired and now for sale

http://www.sgcarmart.com/main/info-Ut8WPi1Aa-1059.html

Apparently it has been 'reconditioned' and selling for 260K SGD...

was told that the vehicle was less than a week old when it was totalled in Malaysia

i wonder if anyone will pay this kind of money for a 'reconditioned' car?

    • Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.
    • 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 style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no 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.
