Does it still do it constantly? Most cars run rough after a while if they havent been used. If the problem is constant, then there is a problem. Try doing an ECU diagnostic on it, see what the problem is. I cant see how its the Coolant Temperature Sensor, that just controls the temperature gauge!!

GeeTR, play nicely!!

Rhys, fair nuff sozzles :D

Sam a good start though for a SR20 in a Silvia issue.. would be the NissanSilvia.com forums; with the lack of more info, I did think u was taking the piss ;)

Does it only play up when you start the thing? Does it show any rudeness at all when driving? Is it only when cold / hot? Stock fuel pump?

BOV - how do you know your BOV is staying shut? Do you mean so when your driving, or again.. when idling after starting it? More info, gets more help :P

sounds like faulty or not plugged in AFM

got the car looked at today the main fault wa the safc 2 settings had reset themselves but now alot more problems hav come up... im gettin a big list tomora of them all... cant wait :)

only had the car a couple of months aswel

cheers for ur help anyway

much appreciated

Thats generally what happens when you buy used!! We've got a Holden WB Statsman HDT at work, needs $2500 work done on it!! Thats the first one, the owner has another exactly the same needs the same amount of work. When we called the customer to let him know, his answer was... ... ... ... ... "...Is that all...?" Wish I had that much money!! Good luck getting it all fixed though

yeh its pretty crap int it... wish i had the money 2!

got the list today not happy at all... who ever did these mods must of been brain dead... theyv used a heater hose for the turbo drain hose n its got a massive kink in it n thats jus the beginnin...

ill need all the luck i can get!

good luck wi urs m8

You'll get that alot. People will try to modify their cars, but have no idea what they are doing. For example, they think all rubber hosing can be used for fuel...

At work we had a Mustang come in, and the owner had blocked off the heater core with a Sidcrome 75mm 1/2 in extention bar. And a Holden WB Stateman has a vaccume line leak fixed with a nail. WTF? Try to think out all your modifications, and do them with a little common sense. It may just save ur life!!

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
