Hey guys i need to find out wat my cars doin and wat could be the cause...Im kind of worried and would really apreciate all the help u can give, I know this is long winded just giveing all the info i can,

Background: I have a 1989 hcr32 4 door, genuine 71thou kms with log books, was auto converted to manual (not sure if the auto comp is still attatched, , every thing was goin fine after the conversion, K&N Pannel filter, X force Front pipe(fitted 100kms ago) no catback thou, besides that compleatly stock, serviced every 5thou, im using Royal Purple motor oil, and Redline gear oilive put 13 thou km on it

Problem: The last 2months (2 tho kms) b4 my last 5thou km service, when i started the car cold the revs wouldnt build and wouldnt kick over unless i tapped the gas peddel it then starts and idles fine, 3 weeks ago i had it serviced and the problem is still there, wat i am also noticing is that it revs high at idle some times like 1500rpm but then drops to 900rpm, and when the air con is turned on its only adjusts teh revs some times but some times they drop to 400rpm, i get really bad Km's out of a tank. even when i drive like a nan, i know im driving a skyline and i expect high consumption, im currently on this tank of petrol see exactly wat i get out a tank but at 3/4 tank 86kms??? driving really rev less,

Thoughts: Some sensor isnt working, like teh sensor that determines idle speed and cold start, ??? : 02 sensor? i dunno

I hope that infomation helps and any questions that would help diagnose the problem please ask.

Thanks Guys

Brett

Try:

Cold start air valve, located under the plenum (near #5)

Auxilliary (Idle) Air valve, on the back of the plenum

Water temp sensor (single pin sensor, where top radiator hose joins inlet manifold).

  • 3 weeks later...
Cold air valve is that same as PCV or PCM Valve ???

and

Water temp. senor

How can i check those twon are in good working ?

i didnt end up doin any of that,

it ended up being a fuel line, with 17 years that kinda stuff is gonne be sus,

it was the fuel line from the fuel pump into the filter,

so yea chaged it, and starts like a dream,

cheers

    • 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 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
