G'day

Mate of mine took me for a strap in his R32 GTS-T tonight and it has some serious issues. I am not an expert on the Nissan engines but when this thing hit 4 grand it felt terrible. It has a pod filter, exhaust and blow off valve, the turbo was boosting somewhat (as it would vent via the blow off valve) but the car went nowhere. It also keeps displaying a warning light on the dash, we are pretty sure it might be an exhaust gas temp warning light? looks to be roughly 2nd warning light in from the right. light will also randomly show at idle, always flashes under load.

is the sensor stuffed causing ECU to pull fuel/retard timing under boost, or does it sound like the turbo is stuffed? History of car is unknown, its a recent import

many thanks

people seem to think that there might be a leak in the boost controller installation because its only happened ever since it was installed.

might sound confusing but last night i took for a spin and wen i flat foot it from the start it shows full boost to .7bar then drops 2 .6bar and it climbs in the rev range slow (1st and 2nd gear)

but if i was 2 put my foot down 3 quarters of the way until it hits 5000rpm then flat foot it, it runs perfect.

so in other words in only happens wen my foot is all the way dwn startin from 3500rpm.

confusing yeah lol i dont know whats happening....

regarding my mates car, its like its not boosting at all. It feels terribly slow. My EL XR6 would whip it

i suppose all he can do really is get a new cat and take it to someone who knows what to look for. This car has definately been messed with, there is evidence of an old boost controller being installed (no longer there) and we basically have no idea where to start.

    • Welcome!  How long have you had it? And what colour is it?
    • "CAD" version 1.0 It will have a 15mm lip around the top for 6 × 5 or 6mm nutserts and fixtures (two on each of the three straight edges), and some pinch weld on any exposed edges, it has three mounting points, one of the power steering reservoir bolts, and two on the rad support, my 120mm hole saw will make short work of hole for the silicone joiner, with ample room for some pinch weld  I've also got enough Carbuilders "peel and stick" heat shield to cover the outside of it at the coolant expansion tank and on the engine side, as pictured, and internally on the lid and where the fuse box is, I've also got some thin, about 3mm, black 3M single sided sticky foam stuff that was left over after sealing some door drafts at home to help seal the lid As for the shape, it "sort of" matches the shape of the fuse box, so shouldn't look to "out of place" The lower area and hole for the intake will need pinch weld with a balloon on it to fully seal the hole and bottom of it, that will happen after it has been fabricated so I know exactly what size is required  Filter service has been trialed,  and so far it was a simple process  Just need to get some alloy, and then head into work to use the guillotine and break press in the workshop Hopefully it should be sorted in a week or two Guestimated outlay will be under a $50 for the stuff I don't have on hand (alloy, 6mm nutserts, the pinch weld, and wrinkle paint) Disclaimer: That's what the "voices in my head" are telling me how the filter box should end up getting done......lets see if they know what they are talking about  
    • Have been polishing up the trailer rims as they had been sitting in the shed for a few years and are really in need of some love. This was after a couple of passes with chrome polish - coming up quite well ✅ .
    • Welcome aboard! Is your Skyline auto or manual? I'm assuming manual. Does it have any mods done yet?
    • Hey mate, the brown and grey plugs would usually go to the TPS, brown one goes on the bottom connector and grey is the top but isn't used unless the car is auto, your TPS looks different to mine though I've got a series 2 engine.
