Hey all, I know it's not for a skyline but same-diff.

Surely this could happen on a skyline, anyway.....

My mate has an s14, sr20 blacktop and was sitting at a set of lights yesterday then boosted it a little bit (he doesn't drive it very hard) and then when he pulled up at the next set of lights it just about stalled on him twice and was idoling irregular (up and down). Now it doesn't boost and when changing gears at about 2700rpm it backfires.

But then every now and then it idles ok.

What the?????

check plugs, coils, actuator lines, and inlet/return pipes for the bov.

edit, may aswell go ahead and check all the pipe joins after the turbo, just get a spray bottle full of water and go along the piping.

he's missing 2 cylinders for a start.

and the engine number doesnt start with RB..

yup. thats definitely it. tell him to ditch the alloy sr in favour of an iron block rb and all his problems will be gone.

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
