Hi guys,

I am the proud owner of an R32 GTR skyline, it was tuned about 2 years ago and ran up 360awhp on the dyno.

Since I took ownership of it in May this year I have noticed that when it comes on boost it's not as sudden and hard as when I first bought it. I have checked and replaced spark plugs, coilpacks, checked and cleaned out the AFM's (Z32's) with degreaser and electrical contact cleaner, checked for vacuum leaks (found none) and have checked and double checked the intercooler piping colars and clams numerous times. The AAC was recently serviced and no worries there.

When she gets to operating temp, in my case about 80c, it starts hunting at idle. Say I pull up at lights, idles for a few seconds fine, then starts hunting. It only takes about 10 secs worth of hunting and it'll stall. I've found to combat this when it starts hunting I just give the throttle a little stab and it settles itself. Interesting. Appears to only really happen if turbo's have spooled between when I last took off and when I have now stopped.

I am wondering if this could be caused by a leaky bov? Being that also when I have boosted, come off boost and then go to boost again (say if heading into a corner, then out again) it takes a little while longer to spool the 2nd time round.

I am planning on getting a retune done sometime in the beginning of the new year aswel, because she's running fairly rich. Any suggestions or would getting it retuned reveal any of these issues anyway?

Cheers,

-Chris

PS: one thing I did notice aswel is that around the same time as this started happening, she doesn't hit full 1.2 bar (16psi) at the moment either.

Car has:

700cc injectors

Power FC

HKS GT-SS's

z32 AFM's

tomie front and dumps

ARC intercooler

still factory BOV's

Just some of the running gear

Do the BOV's sound the same from when you first got the car?

You could take them off and check them for damage.

Could always upgrade too.

Cheers for the response mate. Actually now that you mention it, it does sound a little weaker/muted then it did when I first got it.

Might have to take em off sometime.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
