Howdy folks!

Well i know there has been a couple of threads in here in the past about mags fixing polish and sales. Well ihope i can answer or help some of these questions!

2 months ago i wanted to sell my mags due to 1 cap missing and a few scratches. I wantd my car to be perfect for the auto salone and was willing to pay up to $2500 for a nice set of 17 x 8 17 x 9.

My friend then took me to see a guy call BRIFFA ENGINEERING in Morley just near Galleria. He said that he could polish them up makes some sweet caps up for me and make them look better than brand new!

So i rocked up and started telling him what i wanted!! he spent several Saturday mornings at his workshop working with me in cap design so that i would be happy!

I then entrusted him with my precious mags and decided to let him have his way with them!

The end results! I THINK I NOW HAVE THE SWEETEST MAGS I HAVE SEEN! and he charged bugger all! I saved about $2000!!! guys i cannot explain to you enough how happy I am! as he said they look BETTER than new:uh-huh: I entrusted him with my mags and he did an AWESOME job they look sweet!

Sorry to start a new thread on this but the guy really deserves it! he put in so much work for me! and charged hardly anything! so for all you guys wanting to get mags done (polished) go check him out. all scratches will be gone from your mags! he is located in morley just behind ultras tune about 2 mins near Mr mag. He is out the back of the alley way.

    • Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.
    • 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 style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no 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.
