Hey guysmoved to mackay 3 yrs ago bought a r32 gtst with a blown motor. Replaced motor but got mega issues. In the deep end for sure now but love the car cant wait to drive it when its going

Hey mate, welcome.

If you need any information, most people following this thread are very knowledgeable.

Hey guys I have a problem. Replaced a blown rb20det with another. The new motor arrived with the timing out by 4 teeth. We re did the timing and got it running. But it is idleling rough as guts and the motor will die without throttle. If I give the throttle a tap it jumps up but then will go out of control. Up to 3 Grand then slowly comes back down. I have checked afm iac and cold start valve by unplugging them to see if I get a response. Which I do. I have power and signal going to all injectors and coil packs. All cylinders fire. The ecu has a ewad out of 55 which is no faults. Im out of ideas. Will do a boost leak test tomorrow with soapy water. SO CHEAP! Thanks in advance guys

Hey mate, seems like you have most of the bases covered. Usually the best way to test for leaks is to pressurise the intake.

If you are handy with a welder, weld a compressor fitting onto a piece of pipe with a tap, and weld the end shut. Them simply remove your AFM and clamp it there and slowly crank the pressure up to 30psi.

It is by far the only accurate way to find leaks.

Hey guys did a pressure test on the intake and I have a blown plenum gasket  the supplier I bought it off has a start up warranty on the motor the fact that this was already present has asked for a quote to fix and get the motor running. Lesson: warranty is awesome

looks like ur lucky there mate

After a new clutch cylinder for my car. (P/N: 30620-21U23)

Going to try Brakemart, Repco and Bursons, but just putting this up in case these fail and anyone has one lying around

Its a 3/4 Nabco slave, believe they might be the same as R32 ones, but not 100% sure

Hopefully should be able to source a new one anyway

Really? I dont go there that often. And I always forget to use my racq card anyway lol.

Ended up getting my slave honed and re-sealed by Better Brakes. They had it done in about an hour as well. Looks all shiny and new now :)

Works as well which is a plus

They were originally going to re-sleeve as well but said the bore didnt end up being that bad.

was just shy of $50, noone seemed to stock a new one. Was about to try nissan but dare say it would have been $100 plus

I don't think a re-sleeve would have cost much more, said it was going to be stainless re-sleeve so should last longer, but I'm happy as with the result. Like I said, looks like a brand new one after they sand blasted and re-kitted it

Have a funny feeling it might drive again tomorrow :)

I quite like 34's in yellow

get the wallet out Sean and just do it :P

Get the impression that this is really well looked after as well, has only been lightly modded. Would be a good one

If you're buying a BNR34 fro Qld, let me know. I know a few of the Brisbane bmr34 guys and they can give me the down low on the car. :)

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
