As some of you know I bought a R32 GT-R about 4 weeks ago and everything was fine until something happened that concerned me tonight. I was sitting on 70km/h in 4th gear when my car felt like it lost some power, so i accelerated to maintain the speed limit, then the car kind of shunted forward a few times and at that time i noticed my front torque gauge jumped up to 5 and dropped again. This happened all in 5 seconds and has not happened before, does anyone know what the hell happened? As i said it felt like i was losing power at the time it happened.....

Any help would be appreciated guys.

Long shot but same thing happened to me not long ago.

Check for corrosion under the positive battery terminal. The two extra wires that connect via a spade connecter socket. Mine looked fine from the top but when taken off and inspected they were totally corroed. Caused the car to lose power then stumble intermittently for a couple of weeks before it just stopped dead one day.

good luck

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      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.

      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
