does anyone have a picture of the stock cas timing position for the rb20det silvertop? Also what would cause it to run rich? I ran the diagnostics test and the single led light stayed on. Everything else checked out fine (55). Only mods are blitz intake, high flow exhaust/cat and i have alot of black carbon buildup on the tail pipe and the exhaust really smells. i get a headache just from the smell of it, please help thanks

There is no "stock" position for the CAS. It is adjustable because every engine is slightly different.

These engines generally run rich by design - it is self-preservation. But it could be that the injectors are dirty and not shutting off properly, allowing excess fuel into the cylinder. As a start, have the injectors sonic-cleaned, then run injector cleaner (I find the Nulon product to be quite effective) on a regular basis.

You may also have a dead O2 sensor if the diagnostic is not showing "red-green" cycling.

I have a single LED light on my ECU , i'll check the diagnostics. anyone know the o2 sensor parameters to test (ohms)

Well then, it will probably be "on-off" cycle. The O2 sensor puts out a voltage on the centre (white?) wire, between 0 - 1 V. When the ECU is in "closed-loop", the output will vary within this range, but should generally average 0.5V . Note: "Closed-Loop" is constant throttle and constant load, NO BOOST, vacuum only.

alright i got some voltage out of the white wire! I'm going to the dyno tomorrow to see how its running. turns out the rear trunk compartments on each end of the car had vents that were sucking exhaust fumes into the car when the windows are down.

are the rear of the skylines sealed? I need a lower lip so the exhaust can't get sucked under...and a spoiler, and paint!

    • 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
