Welcome to the forum mate.

I dont think you posted a pic? I cant see it.

There are many workshops i can recommened who have excellent service.

Just depends on where you live and if you are willing to travel a bit etc..

Also mods do you want done?

Anwyays i recommened ricol automotive at peakhurst. Have excellent service skills and know there imports really well.

Have got many things done by them.

Search the forums and you will find more lists of workshop.

Enjoy your new car

I don't want to be alarmist.....but if you are running 17psi on stock turbos you *will* blow one or both of them sooner or later. And then often little bits of ceramic exhaust wheel make their way into the bores, scoring them like crazy before block oil feeds and causing a bearing to spin. Leaving you with a totally screwed motor and $6k bill.

Turn the boost back down to 12-14psi and get high-flowed standard or aftermarket turbos before you turn it up again

thanks for the great advice fellow members :) . i had the boost wound down to 14psi today.

my car seems like it go's so slow now. :)

the last thing i needed was blown turbo's or engine

i was an owner of a s15,and it used to run 17psi all day long with no problems at all. and it had factory turbo. So i thought the gtr would handle it no problems. . . ;)

GTR turbo's have ceramic wheels that fall off and can disintegrate when they are spun too hard... ie>14psi.

    • It's (the TPS) buzzing? Or something else is buzzing in response? Remove the IACV from the plenum. Block the hole into the plenum with your hand. Get someone to start the car. Let some air is. Do the revs flare up? This is checking that the path into the plenum is clean. After that, is the air hose leading to the IACV fuly clear? After that, either you didn't clean it thoroughly enough to allow the valve to move, or it is broken.  
    • Just a follow-up on this topic. From what I can tell so far the rusty residue on the engine block might be unrelated to a coolant leak or maybe just older than anticipated. After driving it from the winter garage to my friend's garage I could not see any new traces of coolant leaking there, but I will test this properly once I was able to fully warm up the car and drive it for a bit. I think I can agree that the whole porous engine block stuff is kind of nonsense, but there is just a silly amount of true, false and half-true information on anything Skyline-related on the internet.
    • hrmmm , not mine , easter plans to pull engine not happening     
    • I removed the IACV, cleaned it and reinstalled.  I found a video on youtube that helped with the whole process, the guy then said the idle needed to be set, so the process was to get the vehicle up to operating temperature, unplug the TPS, set the idle screw in the IACV so the RPMs were around 600, then plug the TPS back in.  After I reinstalled the IACV, the car started (because, it was a cold start), once it warmed up, the car died, I adjusted the idle screw to see if that helped anything, it did not, I had to wait about 3-5 minutes, then the car would start back up. Only to shortly cut out, and only crank.  I loosened the TPS to see if adjusting that would do anything, and when I would rotate the sensor clockwise, there was a humming noise, but it would go away when I got the sensor in the horizontal position.  It only made the hum noise with the key on.  What do you guys think? 20250414_172604.mp4
