Hey guys/girls

Car: 1992 Nissan Skyline R32 GTS-T

Km: 79, 699

ok let me explain the whole chain of events ( it may help solve the problem I’m having). ok today at about 1 i was driving my car, i stopped it and was watching a movie in the car for a bit. About 1 hour later i tried to start it but nothing was working. i checked the voltage by using my radar detector, it showed 10.8V. also i do not have a sub connected, i do have 1 amp connected however it was only running a pair of 6 y 9's and I’ve had my DVD player on before for 3 hours at a time and never has this problem arise. any way so i tried pushing it up a hill and then doing a rolling start. However that didn’t work, i checked the voltage again and i was now sitting on 8.9V which is even worse. and this is with the stereo and everything turned off. then i checked and noticed that my parkers (front and rear) lights where on including the interior lighting. i checked if by accident i had turned the knob to parkers, but they were also off. i then checked again and got a reading of 6.3V and after that i couldn’t check as my radar detector said "battery to low". I Rang a mate of mine who has a WRX he bought jumper leads , we connected them however my lights still stayed dim and i wasn’t getting any power through to my car. finally, i removed a cable that is connected to the positive terminal off the car ( i don’t know if all skylines have it but i know the r32's have a wire that is connected too the red terminal. it is one of those wires that has a clip to unhook it and if you do unhook it. all the power to the car is shut off.) after i removed this and waited a while and then connected the wire again i had 10.1V reading, however it still wouldn’t kick over. and still my lights where on and i couldn’t turn them off . after a while off trying it finally randomly kicked over ( while jumper leads still connected) however my idle was really ruff and i revved it a bit and a pop noise came and the car's revs dropped and stalled also white smoke from the rear with a bit of burning smell came. any way i tried again and it started, however the revs are ruff and there is a bit of lag when it hits 2000rpm it stops revving and just stays there , until you plant your foot it will go over it. However the engine also has a whining noise now. i drove it home asap before something stuffed up again on the way. i found out at lights my idle would randomly start to drop below 1000rpm( the speed my car usually idles at) and id have to put my foot down a bit. also i still couldn’t turn off the lights . when i got home my lights where still on so the only thing for now i could think off and did was pull out the 20 Amp fuse( in the interior fuse box) which cuts power to the parkers and the interior dash lights.

Does anyone know what is wrong with my car or what it could be..or how i could fix this problem

thank you very much

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
