err hey.

so i got my skyline 2 weeks ago. ive since done a oil change (motul 300v) oil filter change, and replaced plugs (iridiums) as there was a missfire problem.

so on way home today, i gave it a bit of heavy foot to overtake this truck before traffic in the right got to close for me to move over.

after i overtook him and slowed down i could smell fuel..

my friend thinks its running rich?

any help much appreciated :ermm:

yeh stock ecu.

ive got intercooler, back end of exhaust, splitfire coil packs, iridium plugs,red stuff break pads, remote start n thats it as far as i know

o and bilstein shocks

mm running rich, yeh thats wat my mate said. he also said itl lean out once i get full exhaust.

another problem found today.. only jus put those red stuff pads in , 100k's ago. was hearing squealing sound before i changed.. 50k's after change, started hearing it a tiny bit when breaking to stop at lights.

and within the last 20k's its been getting worse.

what is wrong now?

mm running rich, yeh thats wat my mate said. he also said itl lean out once i get full exhaust.

I doubt it's going to lean out by doing more mods mate, you'll need to buy an SAFC or aftermarket ECU to let you adjust the fuel, otherwise just live with it. The stock ECU will add extra fule to make everything safe.

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
