hey there, the other day i was driving my R32 GTR. drove it a bit that day. got home, let it cool down with the turbo timer. jumped in it 15 minutes later and i started it and it was fine. drove about 200m, went around a corner in 2nd gear at 25km an hour and it started to hiss and spit and shit then just died. tried starting it and it started but was real chunky, put my foot flat on accelerator and it got to 2000rpm and died. The turbo's are starting to wear and on saturday i heard a noise come from the left side of my engine bay(turbo side) when i was driving it but it still drove fine so im not sure what the problem is. Theres plenty of fuel in the car aswell. I thought maybe it ran out of fuel but it hasn't. Also checked all the piping, intercooler piping and BOV piping. Pulled off the front bumper and its all fine. any ideas? cheers

When you say hiss and spit do you mean as in like boiled coolant? Or do you mean cough and splutter?

It could be a lot of problems but the noises you heard will give you a good indication.

Could be an AFM, GT-R's are renowned for shitting them.

Do you mean it revs to 2000rpm and won't go higher or it dies as in stalls?

If it hits an imaginary 2000rpm ceiling then it sounds very much like an AFM (they tend to suffer from dry solder joints on the plug)

Give us some more info and we'll see if we can help you out :P

    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
