Hey guys. I am looking at a 1995 S1.5 skyline at the moment. It is a friend of a friends car so i have the keys and have been checking it over very closely. The car is an R33 but has had an R34 engine put in it. The R34 engine is connected to the car through the original R33 wiring harness and ecu. It seems to run fine (feels good to drive) but it has an idle problem (will stall when idling unless you give the accelerator a punch every now and then). I did some research and found that a common fix for this is to clean the ACC valve. So today thats exactly what i did only i found that the valve wasn't even plugged in to the wiring harness. The owner had told me previously (before i knew it was the AAC Valve) that this was due to the engine being an r34 engine. Anyway, I ignored this for the time being and removed the valve. It wasn't too dirty on the inside but i gave it a scrub anyway. I found that the solenoid had rusty looking stuff in it (obviously hasn't been used for ages) and I found bad rust and rusty water on the two "Small" hose connections (not the one running to the intercooler piping). I don't know if its normal for there to be fluids in this part of the engine but the fact that there is rust screams trouble to me. If anyone out there has more knowledge about why the solenoid was not plugged into the ECU and why there was rust in these pipes could they let me know. I am beginning to think it might be an idea to steer clear of this one. I can post pics if this description is not clear enough :nyaanyaa:

Thanks in advance,

Will

Get some pics and post them up... I don't think the rust would be a big problem (just give it a clean...)

I don't know why the valve would be unplugged, plug it in and see what happens, if it doesn't work theirs no reason that you can't just get an r33 one and put it on, i don't think they'll change from the R33 to the R34...

My one clogged up big-time a couple of years back, it was literally fused with black crud. In fact I'm taking it back off for antoher clean tomorrow as I'm starting to get the tell-tale stall when stopping too hard.

If you look in any of the coolant pipes you're going to find some form of corrosion I'm afraid.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
