Hi guys, my names joe I'm 23 and just recently picked up this immaculate R32 GTR, which is my dream car from a young age, looking forward to cruising, learning more about the gtr, and meeting skyline enthusiasts. Heres some info of my car:

1994 R32 GTR

Engine: Brand New Garret -9 turbos with R34 GTR dump pipes which have done less than 500 kilometers since fitted. Trust cam gears, and boost raised slightly to 14.5 psi. 100,000kms service done about 30,000kms ago by Racepace which included genuine water pump and timing belt kit, Also has after market fuel pump unsure of what it is

Exhaust: turbo back, Trust front pipes and Fujitsubo cat back, Highflow Cat.

Suspension: Tein Super Street coil overs and Jap Warehouse top camber arms front and rear. also all rack ends and several bushes replaced.

Interior and entertainment: Pioneer multimedia player with blue tooth and hands free phone kit tinted windows. Nismo floor mats and several interior panels, interior door handles, gear shifter boot and knob and steering wheel replaced by new genuine items.

Things to do: Replace clutch (on its way out), regas aircon, Starter motor just shit itself, Might put some wheels on still undecided, ordered a his pod filter kit, intercooler hard piping kit.


​Car was in need of a tune, First run on the dyno produced 190kw which was splattering and boosting over 20+psi, so with a tune, gapped spark plugs, boost tap, and on 15psi it made 240kw which I'm happy with for now lol,

    • 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?
    • 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.  
    • 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.
