ah my gtr has been garaged for 5 months.. thats what i get for moving around the other side of the world :(

Hows life over there dude?

Someone should really go and run the motor for a few hours. Yes, my hand is up. - haha kidding :)

.....but i will do it ;)

i guess it just goes to show what it takes to keep the ol GTR on the road :) I know I could have purchased a small south american country for the dough I throw at mine. :)

The constant effort got to me, always breaking a small but significant part etc

f**king thing

Anywho - the pistons and rods are downstairs for mine.....and the turbo is at aarons......mmm, aaron, can you come to syd for a bit kthnx

dude, blowing your motor is not a small part! lol hehe :D

i don't think i've ever really busted anything in the GTR. well i busted the OS tripple plate (too many trackdays/launches/skidpad/etc), i've worn out some tyres, worn out some brakes, done a few CV boots, but other than that i've spent all the dough on mods and maintenance.

yep I am so over the little things on my car,and it isn't even a GTR! SO over it I think they are both back up for sale after the July track day. As soon as you fix one stupid thing another weird noise or something starts

Ill be down in a few weeks

The turbo weighs LOTS though and so does the manifold and well the gate has to go aswell.

I think ill post it. lol

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
