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

      If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?

      Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.
