what is the crack going to be subjected to?? coolant?? combustion etc?? very few people will be able to successfully weld it up if its wet.. they need to be completly dry and clean to weld.

you could try some devcon... i used it on my radiator for 4 months, its still holding, ive just replaced it since.

um... why the hell would he want to do that? ya freak.

coz its more reliable and easier to get higher power derrrr lol

also you don't get cracks in the block...

also its a skyline forum so most people on here are biassed towards it

hehehehe :)

so waht you're saying is because it's a skyline forum, they don't know any better?

that's all im hearing

(ps. I purposely ignored the comment on reliability as i have nothing to say on the topic for obvious reasons. Thanks for reading)

whats wrong with the sr20?? if i had time and fundage... id consider putting one in my 32... but i dont like engine swaps like that.. but imagine the lightweight engine... mounted as close to the firewall as possible, with a lowmount turbo..

the weight would be behind the front wheels and with the skyline chassis and double wishbone front end... it would be pretty good on the twisties.

and they sound tuff.

nothing like an rb though.

      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.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      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!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
