Gday, I am 19 and pretty new to the import scene, but a while ago i imported a black 1993 r32 gtr with 61 questionable kms on the clock. when it arrived at the docks they ran it out of fuel, which some how made the computer freak out and melt something inside. so got it towed home and had it sitting around for a bit until i took it to jasmac where it was fixed and tuned. I picked it up one late afternoon when it was dark and wet and drove it home carefully on the snow tiers. That night i drove it to work cos i had my permit to drive it there. As i was driving it home it decided to die. zero oil pressure, engine stalling and the worst knock you could imagine. Got my mate to tow me home, and thats where the car has been sitting the last few months. Have been saving and think i might now take it to the mechanics to get a proper diagnoses and tell me what my options are.

Anyway here are some pics.

hope you like :)

      Pipe from Greddy FMIC to Greddy intake manifold (RB25)?

      By jacobzking · Posted

      Does anyone sell a pipe that's made to go from the Greddy FMIC kit for ECR33 (RB25DET) to the Greddy intake manifold?

      Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?

      Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
