i dont know if its normal but my car takes a few seconds to start and when it starts the oil light remains on for about 4seconds. and the engine idles rough for the 4 seconds. sometimes its less than 4 seconds. 2 to 4seconds. after the 2 - 4 seconds the oil pressure gauge goes up and the engine idles properly. the car runs smoothe and works fine until i switch off and switch on again. takes a few secs to switch on, oil light shows for a few secs after engine turns on and idles rough. then back to normal again.....

Some one help?

is this normal?

Yeah bro your right but i am a complete Newbie at this stuff. Never done any of it before and coz of the problems with starting the car and stuff i have no option but take the service. :P

maybe i shouuld take up some kind of classes that teach this stuff.

You dont need classes mate...just read here!

I bought my first skyline 6months ago and new nothing...so i asked lots of embarresing questions and read around this forum ALOT.

Its not as hard as you'd think and there are heaps of tutorials around :ninja:

And oil change is basically undo this bolt....let drain...replace bolt...add oil here. Its pretty simple stuff :P

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
