So hello there! I'm a proud owner of an R32 GTS4 which i picked up last weekend and currently getting things ready for the road.

Can't wait to get into it and take it for a descent spin around Brissy. Got afew things to do first and hopefully by the end of the week i'll have it on the road.

Just got the 32 back from the mechanics. I took possession of my baby on Saturday From John and i"m very pleased with the purchase. Thanks John 2thumbsup.gif . I knew it wasn't gonna be just the boots that need fixing and got my new baby at a good price. Roughly adding it all up, it isn't too bad considering it's a 1989 model and the repairs been done by the previous owner. So it worked out well so far. I hope no more gremlins pop up and set me back further cause i just want to go for a cruise in my new baby. Almost std with coilovers, 18's and boost controller but running std boost. It's even got a std side mount IC and std automatic front lower lip.

Here's a list of what i need done for RWC on my baby. I

* Exhaust front pipe replaced ( has a descent size hole on it)

* Clutch master and Slave cylinder

* Mount the pod filter and get a cover for it

* Steering rack boots and wheel alignment

* LHF Tie rod end and rack end

* LHF Lower control inner ball joint

* Front CV shafts ( still good, might only need boots replaced)

* All 3 wiper blades

* Engine clean up under vehicle

Diognostic Fault eng11( crank angle sensor or circuit ) reseted this morning by Rolscar Mechanical, Darra on Station Rd. He didn't mention the 4wd system but will get that done asap.

ohmy.gif I didn't expect that much stuff to be stuffed but if it needs to, well you then have to. huh.gif It ain't that bad, just starting to go.

Just hope it ain't gonna be over $700 to fix it ( wishfull thinking). Does anyone know how much it'll set me back?

I've got it booked into DRIVELINE SERVICES AUSTRALIA tomorrow and was quoted $300 for all the boots fitted but will ask them to get whatever they can do fom the list above done.

Does anyone have parts that i can buy for the repairs? happy.gif Would really like a front pipe and even the cat too, i suppose i can pull it off my ma61 7mgte but it's custom and i'll have to modify it to fit ( couldn't be stuffed atm, just want to drive it :lol: ). Any tips anyone? smile.gif any help is appreciated with thanks in advance. Cheers

BTW what kinda oil will i need to use for the 4WD reservior in the rear boot? Any oil preferrence?

      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?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      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.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      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.
