Hey all,

just wonderin if anyone has the nissan consult cable. Im having trouble starting my car and when i turn the car on, but not try and start it, the engine check light flashes on the dash as well as the the LED on the ECU. Ive tried checkin the diagnostics manually but its kinda confusing trying to distinguish what code its spitting out. I cant get the car started so i cant actually try and bring it to Kerry's or somewhere where they are likely to have the Consult.

Any help appreciated PPL!!!

Thanks for your help bud. Yeah im planning to get one later down the track but i kinda needed one now. My car is having trouble starting and the engine check light is flashing. Ive tried checking the diagnostics manually but that didnt work for me. Dont know why. And i cant take it anywhere in case the engine dies on me. Only sometimes the car starts, but when it does it blows heaps of black petrol smoke, so im not too sure if it will be one of the coil packs, AFM's, the igniter or the CAS. I need a diagnostic cable to try and hopefully pinpoint it down to what it may be.

dont know anyone sorry with that cable, however what computer are you using ?

Have you done anything else that may effect timing , like cams , pulleys or belt change etc . sounds to me like a timing issue , if it only starts sometimes and blows lots of Black smoke when it does.

seems like there is more to the story ? why did the engine light suddenly start appearing , did you change something else on the car , or unplug something and forget to refit it .

need more info dude to help out , cause otherwise im guessing your symtom.

if you want me to have a looksee for you give me p.m

cheers

Ron

Its still the stock comupter. The only thing that i have done was clean the AFM with brake cleaner. The car was still running after i cleaned it though. Reason why i cleaned the AFM is because sometimes when i would accelerate, there would be a slight hesitation, but if i put my foot down a bit more it would go back to normal. cleaning the AFM to see if that may have been the problem didnt help. This may have been a pre-existing problem anyway. about three weeks later thats when i started having this problem. The engine cranks but is really hard to start, and i also noticed the 'engine check light' flashing. But when it does, it blows black petrol smoke, as if its not firing on all cylinders. This was during the time when it was raining all day, so i thought water/moisture may have gotten into some places.

You can check it out if you want. Im still new to the Skyline stuff. Used to have a 180sx. I'll send you a pm nuffin_werks :D

ok , Brake clean was not a good choice for cleaning your afm mate, its a sensor that measures the amount of air rushing past it thus turning that into a voltage to send a signal to the computer to tell the engine how much air its getting.

SO , if you have damaged it by cleaning it then the signal could be wrong , thus telling the computer the wrong info, so the computer adjusts naturally and so now its prolly got the wrong info for starting and when it idles its really rich as the computer has no idea how much air its really getting.

do you have a r32 gtr or what ? cause you should have 2 x air flow meters. if its a 32 gtst only one ?

i believe this is prolly your problem and i maybe able to source a second hand one to test if thats the cause, otherwise dude you are looking anything up to $700 for new ones , im not sure tho will get back to you. I'll ask my local supplier RBNT ...... lol

cheers

Yeah its an R32 GTR. Gee wiz, there are a lot of threads on this site about how to clean the AFM, and they always use break cleaner or carby cleaner. FAAARK! well that sucks. Yeah that would be awesome if you could find a spare AFM just to test it out. If im not askin for too much, you reckon it would be right if you could possibly find a spare coil pack and igniter? just in case it aint the AFM.

Cheers Ron!

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving.

      What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
