Aw, come on mate, its priceless when a bloke asks if a GTR posted 15 years ago, is still for sale (for $40K)

I like to think there is an elderly couple somewhere still waiting for offers on their mint GTR. Bone stock, always garaged, wooden bead seat cushions, umbrella and hat in the back window. 20k on the clock and only driven for Sunday trips to the Hunter. They had an ad in the local gazette but nothing came of it. Their nephew the computer wiz made a thread on SAU but forgot about it and never checked on it. All it takes is one lucky soul to dig up that old thread and get in touch with them. It could be you. You just have to believe.

That's not the only thing that has to happen.

There also has to be unicorns, fairies and Willie Wonka in such a world.

OH MY GOD ITS HAPPENING!

Just in the For Sale or Wanted sections?  ie if the last known post [not the original post or start] is over say 2 years old then the thread is automatically closed?

Yes we absolutely can! I can auto lock topics in classifieds older than x days. 

I'll sort this out this week.

I only asked if it could be done....we can all keep impressing our peers with our sartorial wit if the majority vote is don't poke the sleeping bear!!!

Maybe we need a poll?

    • 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.
