Hey everyone! 
 

After having all kinds of other jdm cars in the past I finally got my hands on a skyline! Say hello to my 1990 GTST!

Ended up trading a Harley for it which I was trying to sell to fund a skyline, normally things don’t work out that easily lol.

 Lots of little odds and ends done to it which I’m still finding. Biggest thing that needed to be done was fix a massive fuel leak which was bad enough that the engine wasn’t starting. Ended up only being a pinched O-Ring and dirty injectors. Swapped a 2nd set in that came with the car and drove it into the garage

Next up will be cleaning up the underside (lots of old rubberized undercoating everywhere) giving it a good coat of POR15 and getting some of the smaller things taken care of

Welcome to SAU. Looks great. I’ve got a soft spot for Do-Luck body kits on R32s, can’t wait to see it painted!

Thanks! It definitely looks a little better now. Hit it with some bumper paint for the time being, the entire car (minus the carbon fenders) will be getting either resprayed or wrapped at some point but that bumper just stood out too much lol

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
