k people i have just put a rb25det out of a stagea whole thikng works fine apart form the idle its lumpy and all over the shop i have so far narrowed it down to the coolant temp sensor cause when i unplugg it it works better liek picks up the revs if i have a small bend in the hose for one of the i think heater lines would that effect it

i need help on this one im not sure what else to do if i unplugg the wire it wont start with it off but runs fine if you unplug it if already running

where else should i be looking

CAS

im not 100% on this but... if the coolant temp sensor isnt working and just tells the ecu the car is cold, then it puts more fuel in. so in your case, the ecu might be thinking the engine is still cold so adds more fuel and is slightly flooding it.

make sence?

This is what I'm thinking also, see if you can borrow a working temp sensor and check if yours is stuffed.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
