G'day,

My skyline is running terrible, stalling and struggling to restart and this ones has got me stumped. The car seems to have a rev limiter of 2500? (AFM?) it really struggles to climb revs, and many times will stall and not restart. The strangest thing is the car will run perfect for the first 5 mins then start bunnyhopping all over the place like its running out of fuel. Give it a few mm of throttle and it dies in the arse and bunnyhops.

Any help is great the only thing left is the AFM, so how can I test it?

Cheers heaps

Try taking the AFM out and cleaning it with metho or something, I usually use a gas lighter on it as well to burn the metho off -may be a bit extreme but it seems to work for the last ten years of doing it every year.

Also change your fuel filter if you have not done so.

Seems to be when it gets hot that you have the problem so that indicates maybe a water temp sensor??

Yeah thanks mate, fuel filter was changed and whole fuel system was flushed out and a new tank was put it, so at least I know it's not that.

Yeah will give the AFM a better clean this time, but it was crystal clean last time was cleaned only 2 months ago.

Will check the temp sender again

I'm sure some other poor bugger skyline owner has had this before :wub:

Cheers

Yeah iv had almost the same problem. not as extreme as what your getting though. I took my car to a few different people and no one could give me very good answers. My car seems to of fixed itself though... wierd.. hasn't happend for a few months now..

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
