hey hows it goin? i have a 1989 r32 4door and 2 weeks ago i went for a hills bash with a few mates, and i had a tank of caltex premium instead of the normal bp ultimate, i also had a plate blocking off the bov, i went throu 3/4 of the tank no prolemo and at the end i gave it a goot clutch kick in 2nd and at the next set of lites it started hunting really really badly, so i thugh crap, i took the bov plate out and re connected the bov, still did the same, so the next day i went to my mates and swapped the afm off his 32 still the same it goes from 1000/1100 to 2000/2100rpm. i checked all my intercooler pipes, n still the same, everybody i kno was sorta outta ideas and then a mate came up with the cas and so i went out a bought another one, marked it and swapped it, still the same, :) . so then i went down and got it put on a diagnostic computer, and the bloke said to me intake manifold leak so today i ripped apart the whole intake manifold and replaced both gasgets, and now its still doin it, any ideas?? any help would be much appreciated thankyou also when u first start it up it sits on 2grand for a few mins b4 it starts to hunt, and the throttle position sensor, if u move it forwards the revs come up to 2500 and if u move it back it starts to hunt again, im apsolutly stumped, any help or any1 i could chat to please pm me thanyou

yeah we also made up this adaptor and pumped up the cross over pipe and plenum we put it at 15psi and we could hear a small leak from the throttle position sensor, and 1 hose so i fixed it up and it still ran like shit. its leakn a bita air outta the throttle position sensor so im gonna get 1 of those. try that

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope! 
    • I spotted a black C34 in Mittagong this morning!
