Hey, well im new here.

My name is Sam, 20 yrs and counting.

Bought myself a skyline R31 GX 3.0L, completely stock and thought I had better join the skyline club as I am interested in modifying this little beauty of a car. Havent really done much with it yet, just have to sort out a few bugs with it (ticking exhaust and wheel alignment). Will have pics up asap, just let me get home and to a decent camera.

Anyway, Looking forward to seeing what I can do to this car, and what others have done to theirs.

OK forgot to add, it has the RB30E engine, and the exhaust is getting fixed by a mate who used to work for nissan. Getting a muffler for it, and it lowered within the next 2 weeks. Going to just go to 17" rims as I honestly cbf with the paper work involved in 19".

I would however like to know what people recommend I do to improve the engine, if I can turbo it w/e. I honestly dont know what I can do to it at this stage, so any input is helpful. Ive been reading around and asking around as much as I can.

Thanks in advance,

-Sam

wooo Sam's rock!

welcome to the forum. What state are you in? how old/what licence do you hold?

What you can and can't do.. legally.. depends on those questions :P

Otherwise check out the N/A section and the RB30 section as im sure there would be a lot of info there on what you can look at doing to your car.

Probably should have added more info ay.

Well im in SA, 20 yrs old, and holding ye pitiful P1's

Im trying to keep it legal at this point in time. Got a muffler off a mates car tonight as he did the steering wheel, so going to get that put on this weekend hopefully, and will be getting it lowered + suspension in the comming weeks.

hey bud! certainly alot of potential there.

here in adelaide were aloud to have turbo's on our p1's so i reccomend you save for an rb20det :) will be a really good place to start. save that rb30 and eventually build a big 30det later on down the track! certainly heaps of potential!

seeya round bud. good luck

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
