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.

      Help! Leak coming under transmission

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
