    Have I Killed It?

    in Western Australia

    Posted

    So a few months back i had the turbos in my 32 Gtr swapped out as they were making a whine. Not sure if its the cause/related but thats when i noticed that on ignition area around injectors 1 and 2 was hissing, oil pressure gauge read about a quarter way up even cold and would miss/splutter beyond 4k rpm.

    Changed the coils, cleaned and re-gaped the sparks. Took it for a test drive and the missing stopped beyond 4k rpm. Feeling pretty good i thought to stop and get fuel before going home. Left the servo and rev'd to 4.5k in 1st and just as i clutch in i hear a pop noise on my left like an intercoolerpipe has come. Put it in second and engine sounds horribly rough, oil pressure light come on and engine cut out a second later.

    Towed the car home and noticed that fuel has sprayed out from injector number 2.

    Any one have any thoughts? I've tried searching all the different symptoms separately but no joy. In pretty amateur mechanically so id appreciate any wisdom/insights

    What is "overpriced" for a full door-jamb, engine bay and body spray for you?

    Because a low end job is gonna start at 5 grand - and go to excess of 10 grand for a half decent one.

    had mine done closed door, cost me 5500. R32 gts4 about 3yrs now. Decent job, but wouldnt recommend them. Just giving an indication as to price

    I apologise in advance if this has been covered.

    replacing the steering rack, is this something a layman could do on there own or get someone to do?

    generally how much should i expect to pay, and any suggestions on good places to get it done?

    thanks,

    Abe

    Regarding the 4WD light I would guess that it isn't wired up correctly if it's always on. What type of controller? If it's the Ruzic Engineering version did you splice the wires into the g sensor wiring or cut the wires?

    El Cheapo eBay brand Torque split. Forget the name. Cut 1 wire, and spliced the rest, from memory, sorry if that isnt much help.

    screwed wheel sensor or g sensor maybe

    I installed one of those Torque Split controllers a couple months back, that connects where the g sensors are and what not....maybe that might be it

    Are the 4WD and HICAS sensors related? because my 4WD light is permanently on too.

    Back on topic I find the best roads are those unknown ones in the middle of nowhere. There's no one that sticks in my mind mainly because I don't bother reading what road I'm on but there have been some great roads, they're just not necessarily the main roads. The back roads are where it's at where you can enjoy your car within the speed limit.

    +1

    Many a road ive been been on out serpentine or past brookton way that i cannot remember the name, but the twists and winds in the road are so enjoyable you dont mind the speed limitation and just enjoy the feel of the car on the road.

    One of my personal favourites. Nettleton Rd, (just before the Petrol station as you coming out of Byford heading south on Great Western Highway) follow it till it hits Jarrahdale Road then west till you hit Great Western Again. Ups downs, lefts rights, ins outs, and slow downs and speed up's....just how my R likes it :P
