hey guys,

im about to buy an r32 gtst from a mate at work. it has numerous modifications, FMIC,

turbo, exhaust, blah blah, and about 190k on the clock.

its in perfect nick except for a ping in the number 6 cylinder at highish revs.

he's replaced the plugs, coils, igniter pack, checked the Crank Angle Sensor, installed an aftermarket fuel pump and a set of flow tested injectors.

and still number 6 is detonating... does anyone have any ideas?

my mates just gotten tired of the car and splashed out on a mini cooper s, so he's basicaly giving it away for 6k. it all sounds like a bargain except for the detonation issue. any help would be appreciated.

cheers, Rowdy. :P

Hey man..

I had my engine ping on nuber six as well.. ended up with a melted piston....

Does the car have an oil catch can???

My turbo was on its way out.. blew oil through the cooler into the engine, causing detonation... got way too hot.. and went bang..

Thats usually a good place to start, and also the injectors could be dirty....

Just a place to start..

Sorry cant be more help..

shit that doesnt sound like fun...

yeah its got a catch can but the breathers fallen off lol. how come it was only pinging on number 6 though, if it was being blown through the cooler shouldnt it have affected all of the cylinders?

Thanks mate, any help is good help at this stage!

cheers, Rowdy. :devil:

      R32 GTR - Where to begin

      Just chuck in an ECU, Injectors and a pair of direct fit low mount turbos, that should use to the top of your budget and give it a nice kick along. Also, don't do anything unless you don't need the car daily....if it does blow and you get another 10k bill just to get back to where it is now would you be able to come up with the cash or will it sit for 2 years like most GTRs....

      Thank you 🙏 I'm patient, which is good, considering the limited budget (for now) more so trying to understand where to begin the journey and you and the others have been good with that, appreciate everyone for their input 🫡

      $5-10k isn't much for reliability if your looking at more power for a RB Me, with that much money currently on hand,  I would only look at things to suit future mods, as stated, a fuel pump and ecu would be my first point of call, as well as getting the injectors cleaned and tested, maybe even replace all the coolant hoses After a little time with the tuner, they should be able to tell you how your car is running in relation to things like your ignition, cooling, and other stuff that will be picked up when it has had a few runs up on the dyno and some logs to look at Basically, get everything sorted for reliability before you start leaning on a 30 year old engine Good luck with the one and only true Godzilla, enjoy Note: for your birthday presents, ask your family and friends for lottery tickets, a 32 GTR can cost "all of the money" to make reliable power
