Hi guys,

I am the proud owner of an R32 GTR skyline, it was tuned about 2 years ago and ran up 360awhp on the dyno.

Since I took ownership of it in May this year I have noticed that when it comes on boost it's not as sudden and hard as when I first bought it. I have checked and replaced spark plugs, coilpacks, checked and cleaned out the AFM's (Z32's) with degreaser and electrical contact cleaner, checked for vacuum leaks (found none) and have checked and double checked the intercooler piping colars and clams numerous times. The AAC was recently serviced and no worries there.

When she gets to operating temp, in my case about 80c, it starts hunting at idle. Say I pull up at lights, idles for a few seconds fine, then starts hunting. It only takes about 10 secs worth of hunting and it'll stall. I've found to combat this when it starts hunting I just give the throttle a little stab and it settles itself. Interesting. Appears to only really happen if turbo's have spooled between when I last took off and when I have now stopped.

I am wondering if this could be caused by a leaky bov? Being that also when I have boosted, come off boost and then go to boost again (say if heading into a corner, then out again) it takes a little while longer to spool the 2nd time round.

I am planning on getting a retune done sometime in the beginning of the new year aswel, because she's running fairly rich. Any suggestions or would getting it retuned reveal any of these issues anyway?

Cheers,

-Chris

PS: one thing I did notice aswel is that around the same time as this started happening, she doesn't hit full 1.2 bar (16psi) at the moment either.

Car has:

700cc injectors

Power FC

HKS GT-SS's

z32 AFM's

tomie front and dumps

ARC intercooler

still factory BOV's

Just some of the running gear

Do the BOV's sound the same from when you first got the car?

You could take them off and check them for damage.

Could always upgrade too.

Cheers for the response mate. Actually now that you mention it, it does sound a little weaker/muted then it did when I first got it.

Might have to take em off sometime.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov

      That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.

      Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
