hey hows it goin? i have a 1989 r32 4door and 2 weeks ago i went for a hills bash with a few mates, and i had a tank of caltex premium instead of the normal bp ultimate, i also had a plate blocking off the bov, i went throu 3/4 of the tank no prolemo and at the end i gave it a goot clutch kick in 2nd and at the next set of lites it started hunting really really badly, so i thugh crap, i took the bov plate out and re connected the bov, still did the same, so the next day i went to my mates and swapped the afm off his 32 still the same it goes from 1000/1100 to 2000/2100rpm. i checked all my intercooler pipes, n still the same, everybody i kno was sorta outta ideas and then a mate came up with the cas and so i went out a bought another one, marked it and swapped it, still the same, :) . so then i went down and got it put on a diagnostic computer, and the bloke said to me intake manifold leak so today i ripped apart the whole intake manifold and replaced both gasgets, and now its still doin it, any ideas?? any help would be much appreciated thankyou also when u first start it up it sits on 2grand for a few mins b4 it starts to hunt, and the throttle position sensor, if u move it forwards the revs come up to 2500 and if u move it back it starts to hunt again, im apsolutly stumped, any help or any1 i could chat to please pm me thanyou

    • 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 stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not 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.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
