Just wanted to Introduce myself.

My name is Josh and have recently graduated from uni and as a present to myself I bought myself my dream car. I purchased a nice black with blue pearl R32 GTS-t. I have been driving around while studying a very slow Suzuki Swift Cino so its been a great change.

So far its fairly stock but it does have a bodykit (not sure what type) HKS drager exhaust with twin tips and a HKS pod filter. Hopefully when my bank balance recovers I would like put a nice set of wheels on and a front mount and upgrade the suspension.

Looking forward to meeting a few people at the next mountain run.

Let me know what you think of my car

Cheers Staffo

Thanks again for the warm welcome. Looking forward to the mountain run.

Had a slight problem with the car last night. Was missing under full acceleration at about 5500 and about 6500 as well. Seemed to only occur when it was hot.

I'm thinking maybe coil packs or spark plugs could be on they way out. I've been told to take the cover thingy off as it makes the coils too hot. Is this right?

Any suggestions? Fuel pump is only about 6 months old

Sounds like coil packs to me...but try the spark plugs first

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By tylink720 · Posted

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
