hey there, the other day i was driving my R32 GTR. drove it a bit that day. got home, let it cool down with the turbo timer. jumped in it 15 minutes later and i started it and it was fine. drove about 200m, went around a corner in 2nd gear at 25km an hour and it started to hiss and spit and shit then just died. tried starting it and it started but was real chunky, put my foot flat on accelerator and it got to 2000rpm and died. The turbo's are starting to wear and on saturday i heard a noise come from the left side of my engine bay(turbo side) when i was driving it but it still drove fine so im not sure what the problem is. Theres plenty of fuel in the car aswell. I thought maybe it ran out of fuel but it hasn't. Also checked all the piping, intercooler piping and BOV piping. Pulled off the front bumper and its all fine. any ideas? cheers

When you say hiss and spit do you mean as in like boiled coolant? Or do you mean cough and splutter?

It could be a lot of problems but the noises you heard will give you a good indication.

Could be an AFM, GT-R's are renowned for shitting them.

Do you mean it revs to 2000rpm and won't go higher or it dies as in stalls?

If it hits an imaginary 2000rpm ceiling then it sounds very much like an AFM (they tend to suffer from dry solder joints on the plug)

Give us some more info and we'll see if we can help you out :P

    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
    • You would need to paint your hardtop again though
