Car: R32 GT-R
No modifications all stock except, boost restrictor cut out, cat back exhaust, and K&N pods.
Boost was pretty random, spiked to 18psi once before, useally ran around 14psi sometime a bit less depended on heat of day etc etc. Service every 5,000km, useing shell oil. It started making a noise on boost about 3 weeks before it blew up, i thought one of my turbos was going, noise was random come on and of and sometime not at all. I think the car was pinging so if you hear this noise get it checked out. I skipped a service and at 5,000km and just put some shell oil, same one i used in it by myself but didnt change the oil filter. I played with the timing a bit myself also which may have contributed But my mechanic said it shouldn't matter cause i haven't advanced it far enough, i think i advanced it 1mm not really much but it made the boost come on earlier in the rev range.
My advice is to get a SAFC cause its wires up to your knock sencor and you can see when your car is pinging (aka detonating) then you can stop it in advance, anything over about 60 koncks is pretty bad and you can slowly drive your car to a tuner and get it tuned to stop pinging.
I think my engine blew due to mistreatement really, skiped service, did timing myself etc etc. Was cuttin donuts and it blew
