i recently fitted a FMIC kit to my r32, when we pulled the pipes off they had noticable oily residue in them. Is this normal?

Also car seems to be hesitant to rev after 4000 and only really revs to maybe 6000 sometimes.

what could be causing this? as im new to skylines (pistons actually)

How much oil is there? My supra has an oily film\residue in the intake piping aswell and have been assured by other import owners\mechanics that it is normal for turbo cars with a fair bit of mileage. If there is heaps though it is most likely your turbo seals are gone and they will need rebuilding.

Does your car blow any smoke?

got told this morning by my mate that when i took off there was smoke (black) coming out of my exhaust. But when it warmed up, no smoke. really only because i had just started it that morning.

black smoke is normal = running rich.

i have always been under the impression alittle bit of oil buildup in the cooler pipe was ok

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
