  1. This has gotta be the most useless forum!! Ive already a dozen replies on sdu and hybridz....
  2. Hey guys, I got a broken stud on the exhaust manifold on number 6. I'm dying from the gases and lack of fuel economy. The car is hating sounding like a tracker and losing power. Now the question is...Can I drill the stud out and helicoil it with the motor still in the car? Will I have enough room as its on #6? Thanks. (l20et in hr30 by the way)
  3. Ok. Get this...Car is fixed now, there was a fuel line being crimped somehow under the fuel tank. $100 later and shes fixed
  4. I dont' have anything like that on the side of my distributor... I've tried two distributors now and have the same problem.
  5. Are you referring to Ignition timing (dizzy) or cam timing? What do you mean by IC unit?
  6. Hey guys, I've posted in Classic skylines but havn't had much help. Please check out http://www.skylinesdownunder.com/forums/sh...9894#post449894 and reply to me in here. I'm pulling my hair out trying to sort this!
  7. OMFG!!!! I just changed the ignition module and the fuel pump and is still wont start!!!!! I'm pulling my hair out with ultra stress of this thing. Please anyone help!
  8. Did have: Year: 1983 Model: KHR30 GT-ES Paul Newman Version Body type: Coupe Color: Blue Pearl Swapped for Year: 1984 Model: GT-EX Turbo Body type: Sedan Color: White
  9. I was thinking it may be the fuel pump, the previous owner seems to have thought that it overheated oneday? Yeh petrol reallly hurts your eyebrows as weird as it may sound, my right eye is all red and my eye lid is numb... The fuel filter was still on, i pulled the hose off the top of it (i was very stupid not to take the fuel cap off first to remove the pressure). After that I didn't even turn on the car, i raced home and had a shower because i didnt wanna go blind or anything and i only had a 500ml bottle of water to rinse it off. I'll be going back down there tomorrow morning so i better goto bed so I can get there before work. By the way here is the SDU link (not trying to make it confusing, its just some people may be interested in what others are saying: http://www.skylinesdownunder.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=53472
  10. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROCTECTION WHEN UNPUGGING FUEL HOSES....
  11. The auto electrician checked for spark and it was strong. I've never heard the fuel pump keep pumping whilst starting....i've heard it pump for 5 seconds but then stop (did that in my old r30). Yeh I thought that about the fuel filter too, maybe Ill pull the hose off the filter that goes to the fuel rail and see if fuel spits out.
  12. Ok I will try that test with the fuel pump. I'm thinking now that maybe the filter is blocked?? Even if a spark plug or lead was stuffed the car would still run wouldnt it?
  13. Hey guys, I got drift_orcon's 4door r30 yesterday. Ran excellent from Christchurch back to Nelson...But now: Travelled 30 km this morning to drop my gf off at a friends, travelled 30km back and visited my father. Went to start the car and it started but very rough. I tried for 2 hours to sort it out, I tried another dizzy, AFM, bought a new ignition coil lead, reset ecu by removing battery terminals and pumping brake pedal a few times...but it help anything. Me and my Dad couldnt figure it out, it was getting a strong spark, getting air and the fuel pump was priming so i'm assuming it was staging. We towed it to his friends son-inlaw's Auto Electrican company and they had the same problem then all of a sudden it started fine (they hadnt done anything to get it to start). I thought all was good and I drove back to town around 5km away), got to town and felt like i had 1% power. So I pulled into a carpark and went for a hour long walk. came back to the car and it started when I tried, i got about 400m down the road and it died at the traffic lights so these guys helped me push it outta the way. I went for another walk and then came abck and tried to start it but it wouldnt go, it turns over and it sparks but it just doesnt start. Then I walked home and talked to stagefumer11 on msn and he said he had the same problem and it was the ecu. So I grabbed a handfull of the ecus i have (5 in total), drove down in my Mum's car and tried to start it but no go, so then I started trying each ecu but I had the same problem. I can hear the fuel pump, im getting spark but its not starting! I've tried another AFM but no luck with taht either. I'm starting to get a real headache and really frustrated by this, plus im really worried about it sitting in town. Does anyone have any suggestions that may help? Anything please I need help!!! THANKS P.S. the ppl i'm referring to are SDU users and stagefumer is on this forum
  14. i've searched all over the net, even www.google.co.jp but can't find anything. very strange...
  15. Well not easy but i enjoyed the sanding, platic primering, paint, enamel :-P I mean like the soft part of the dash (well not soft, but get what i mean?) The bits ive marked etc (alot of its not visable in that photo) That is a pic of my current r30, not the one i'm getting with the grey dash.
  16. Nar I can do tahts easy i've done it in all my cars. I mean the actual dash.
  17. Thats exactly why i suggested it. Sad to see whats happening to the coral reef with the ocean temp being to high
  18. I'd get a DR30 with a FJ20et and spend as much as I could on it!
