hi my skyline is running shit again i donno y when i plug the water temp senser in while its heated up it starts running 2 lean i think because it back fires through the air flow meter with it unpluged it runs better but with a grey sorta white colour coming out of the exorst..... also its started running ruff i bit on idel someone help it has been runing on gas does anyone know if theres any other mixure setings or if anyone has had this problem i would apreciate the help thanks :(

checking your timing also. Mostly it will be your water temp sensor. I chased around on the same problem for ages. Didnt think of it. Get another and it wil be sweet

have tested the water temp senser with another one and senser is working but as soon as its hot its runs to lean could it have anything to do with the idle mixture screw on the air flow meter i was thinking it could of been changed because of the gas set up also the ruber plug was missing... i was gunna go out and buy a co meter to tune it but i was wondering if there was another way of turning it???

anyone got any idears on fuel consumption???

cheers :)

try running some injector cleaner throught it....if its running fine while cold, then leaning out once warmed up, it could be cruddy injectors....once the cold start injector turns off its too lean.

the cold start in jector is only activated before start up wwhen u turn your key doesnt rung when car is running.

ok this is geting really frustrating.....

i got in the car thismorning (motor cold with temp senser connected) started idle well aprart from a slight misfirer racing a little cos it was cold then the idle came back to normal after a few moments. gave the engine a rev and it picked up nice and smooth. I then let it warm up to opperating temputure. Idle was still fine but as soon as i gave it a suden hit on the gas it coffs and spluters a bit and back fires out the throught the intake. Then i stoped the motor disconnected the water temp senser for the computer started the motor back up witch took more cranks then ussaul (usally starts straight up) once started had trouble keeping idel and amited a white/ grey smoke out the exorst. but seemed to rev alright and drove without hesitation...... i have tested my water temp senser with a multi meter and it seems to be working (got resistance/temp output from nissan manual) also tested another senser of my old skyline buy testing in diferent temp water but gave me same reading as the one in my car

??????????? anyone got any idears ?????????

here's an idea- take it to someone who knows what they are doing. troubleshooting an engine problem over the internet is more frustrating for us than you, believe me. every idea someone has come up with so far you've disregarded without even checking. so take it to someone, or go right back to square one and start with the basics. inspect/clean connectors, check timing (not just at idle), check voltage to coil, check fuel pressure and flow rates, check the lines to the FPR, maybe even try replacing it, do a comp test (it could be a valve problem), check valve clearances too, check all sensors - you say you have a nissan workshop manual - they typically have quite detaillled troubleshooting information as well. if all else fails, maybe try starting another thread about it!

Ok. still sounds like what i used to have. And i regret to tel ya, it could be the ecu. I had to replace mine. Fixed alot of problems. But first. Clean all your contact points on the loom plugs. L motors commonly corrode up over time.

Clean the ecu plugs. Unplug your TPS. And o2 sensor. The mixture sceew on the AFM is only for idle mixtures. Its a bypass unit. So leans it out. Doesnt alot much adjustment. All is bypassed when the afm moves

Intresting how it seems to be stated that the Water temp sensor only used for cold starting. When mine will adjust all the a/f Ratio's when warm. And the car will not run with it disconected.

The fuel pump will also cause similar problem. HAhah i know ive had them all. im on my 4th fuel pump. Check the voltage going to it first. And go from there. The fuel pump comander units can become faulty also and not flick out of idle voltage mode. This means it wont step up the voltage to the Fuel pump when you stomp the gas. I actaully think it runs off the Tps system. Dont quote me on that tho

Thanks for your help i really hope its not the ecu water has been getting in nere it but i was sure it wasnting coming nere the computer but it was sitting outside the house when i bout it.... where is the o2 sencer on the l24e?

Thanks for your help i really hope its not the ecu water has been getting in nere (near) it but i was sure it wasnting (?) coming nere (near) the computer but it was sitting outside the house when i bout (bought?) it.... where is the o2 sencer (sensor) on the l24e?

Please learn to spell!

To the best of my knowledge, the L24E didn't run an O2 sensor (L20ET did, though)

lol sorry man

ok i unpluged the 35 pin efi harness and i tested air flow meter potentiometer sliding resistor and circuit coming to the computer but i am geting no connection untill i push the flap abit inside the hair flow meter then it goes open circuit i dont think thats spose to do that anyone know anything about that??? :D

o and when the i put the key to start with start motor disconnected im only geting 8v in the circuit between ignition switch and control unit power sourse shouldnt i get my battry voltage?? (wich is 13 volts)

heatercoil of thermotime switch bimetal circuit has no risistance at all but a full connection does that sound wright??

also im not geting circuit between air regulator and fuel pump??

does anyone know if a 82 model r30 skyline are the same machenically 2 the 85 model as i have an 82 model as well and was wonding apart from looks could i use engine parts such as ecu and such?? or are they differ :D

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
