Ok so had my skyline for 8 months now and had nothing wrong till now

My r32 started glugging and back firing while driving even had it stall on me and not start for 5 minutes and when it did start I had to hold the revs up

Now yesterday it started smoking from the engine and smelt like burning oil

With the glugging I thought it might be bad fuel or spark plugs but now I think it's something different all together

Help please

Mechanical skills are great I know the plugs are gone

I didn't even think about the AFM I have checked all the pipes can't see anything loose or cracked

Might just change the AFM and plugs and see how that goes

I thought it could also be the head is gone?

Try cleaning the AFM before you go buying another one.

Also, check for any possible way air could be entering the engine without passing through the AFM. For example, cracked/broken/missing/unplugged vacuum hoses, bodgy installation of boost gauges/controllers or leaking/poorly installed blow off valves etc.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
