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?

‘MOTUL 4100 TURBOLIGHT’ SYNTHETIC ENGINE OIL,

GENERIC FILTERS,

DOT 4 BRAKE FLUID,

CASTROL VMX-80 GEAR OIL,

CASTROL LSX-90 REAR AXLE OIL.

CASTROL TQ TRANSFER CASE OIL,

STD NGK SPARK PLUGS

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

Welcome to SAU Forums Vish.

At the bottom of the left hand side of each page, there's a block called Key Words. Yeh just start using that and looking at

'Sticky' at the top of the section too.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
