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

    • The trigger kit I have is similar to the one in the link below. While going through Facebook, I saw someone else mention a similar issue, and I’m starting to think this could be related to the crank gear itself. I understand these parts are CNC machined, but maybe some earlier versions or individual pieces might have slight inconsistencies—it just doesn’t look right in my case. https://www.facebook.com/share/16an8evZd9/?mibextid=wwXIfr I originally installed the crank gear using the thin OEM washer, but as shown in the attached photo, the timing belt walks very close to the edge. When I tried using a Nitto washer—which is thicker—it actually made the issue worse. The belt walks about 1mm off the front edge, which raises more concern about alignment.   I’ve gone through the full process of elimination:   The tensioner pulley and bolt are brand new and installed correctly. The bolt isn’t bent and is oriented properly. The back of the tensioner and the idler pulley are clean and seated correctly. The idler sits slightly more forward, which I understand is due to its design. I’ve experimented with both tight and loose belt tension, but it makes no difference. As soon as the engine runs, the belt immediately walks forward again—even if I reset it beforehand.     At this point, I’m considering replacing the crank gear with your Race Version 1 (12-tooth), but before purchasing, I wanted to ask:   Are you aware of any alignment issues when using this gear? Would this gear help keep the belt aligned correctly, or could the walking still occur? Does it work with a standard missing-tooth crank and rear washer? Is there any specific crank setup or install procedure required?     For reference, I’m not using a front washer, as the PRP crank gear seems to replace the need for one.   Looking forward to your advice.
    • Yep, looks that way. Never driven an E30 or R31 so I can only imagine  
    • Yuh, My new R34 box is sitting on the workshop floor (in its large shipping box, which is a nice thing on its own), along with a front plate to convert to push clutch. There was no way I was interested in rebuilding my existing one. Was only partly interested in the risk of buying a used one. But, if you want a 2nd hander, I can point you to one in/near Melbourne at least. @Komdotkom has one that should be in good enough condition to be usable. I don't think it's in a for sale thread, you'd have to message him. @redzedhas one that definitely needs a rebuild.
    • I used to love going to Amaroo to watch the HQ series go for broke (eventually stopped due to lack of spare parts) and also the Porsche series.  It was so cool to back your car up to nearly the edge of the viewing barrier and party with your friends, having a bbq and alcoholic/non drinks. It was such a family/mates atmosphere
