Hey All

just wondering is someone can help i have a miss at idle and every now and then i get a miss while driving and the CD player resets itself.

the car is an rb20det 4 door skyline with

emanage

r33 turbo

FMIC

HKS SSQV

splitfire coilpacks

ngk spark plugs gapped at .8

i'm not so worried about the miss at idle but it is the cut out while driving, it doesn't happen all the time maybe once in a 1 hour drive or if i drive for like 15mins leave the car for a bit and then drive 15mins home it might do it. the car seems to cut out howerver head lights stay on but CD player will stop, i have had a look at the earth to the battery thinking it might be this, it is not the best connection but has been like this for a while, it will be fixed up this week sometime. the battery itself is now 2 years old and has gone flat a number of times (i dont drive the car that much) however i will charge the battery just fine when driving. my thoughts are the earth however i can wiggle it and it doesn't seem to make a difference.

oh yeah when the car cuts out it kicks back in about 1-2secs later and all is ok again

please let me know your thoughts

Cheers

do you have an alarm/immobilizer? turbo timer? any thing that could be messing around with the wire that hold your car in the "ON" mode? something that could be bumped or pulled for a second and then reconnecting (dodgy connection). that could cause what you are explaining.

the car does have a slight whining noise but that seems to be coming more from the power steering pump i will double check this. i do have a turbo timer and alarm however i have check both of those and have resoldered them to make sure of that.

would the alternator still give 14 volts if it was having a problem??

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      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 🍻
