Hey guys

I recently got into a bit of a bang with my R32 GTR , but the only thing damaged was the front bar... none of the internals got hurt

Now, driving the car to the panel beaters i had NO reponse, i couldnt hit 3k rpm without flooring it, the car was making the most awful noise like it was struggling massively... now, remember none of the internals were damaged at all, even the front mount was fine...

When u push it, it'll backfire, but it just keeps making this Pttt ptttt ptttt ptttt pttt noise and will never hit boost.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH MY CAR!???!?!?!!?!?!?

I was told it could be the crank angle sensor? and that they move slightly and it totally screws up ur car? Or the CAS connection?

HELP please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

on inspection, the intercooler was fine, just pushed in a little and moved to one side, but nothing major? could i not be seeing something?

Broken IC would be my guess too.. like Craved said if it's moved across something would have to bend/loosen for it to move.

Cheers boys... i feel much better now... cause i know i can just tig weld anything if there are holes.... or if its the clamps i'll just get new silicon hoses :D

THANKS A HEAP BOYS!

(and girls if any replied) :sorcerer: :sorcerer:

The engine will still rev past 3 if one of the pipes comes loose or there is a small hole. Check to make sure your AFM is connected properly and spray some aerostart around all the pipe connections while the engine is running just to be sure.

Also check your Catalytic converter to make sure it might not be blocked. Might just be a coincedence that it happened at the same time as the accident.

As for the CAS...why would it be the CAS when there was hardly even damage to the bumper?

cool... cheers man

as for the CAS, the panel beater didnt know what he was on about

it turned out to be a gash in the cooler.... i cbf getting it welded.... so i'm gonna chuck it out and get another FMIC

(btw the one i'm chucking out is a TRUST FMIC) :D

cheers again boys

Yeah id say it sounds like an AFM metre problem. My friend has a 32 GTR and his connection was loose and it wouldnt let him rev past about 3000rpm.

Chris

he just said that it was a gash in the intercooler. so it wasn't afm.

cool... cheers man

How bad is the damage on the trust FMIC your throwing out..?

Weldable?

obviously you don't think so since you were prepared to tig up damage..

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
