Guys

Recently had the bad news that the engine in the GTR i have owned for under 9 months is on its way out - odd when it was re-built 6000 km ago (4000km before I bought it) with all the usual stuff - CP forged pistons and rings, ACL bearings etc etc (no head work though).

After getting new Link G4, SARD 700cc, cam gears - the car was pushing out 253awkw - dissapointing given the rebuild work and hi flow steel bearing turbo upgrade.

Anyway - after getting car back from mechanic it starting running very badly, wouldnt accelorate past 3-4000 rpm with foot down - as if it was miss firing? Was told it was fixed - something to do with a hose going to the "chalk box" coming off. On way back from mechanic it started again. I have no idea what a chalk box is - and neither does Google.

Can you guys point me in the right direction.

Carbon Cannister he means taking an educated guess. Mine is a black tube, size of a medium Milo tin in the engine bay - not sure where/how big a GTR one is

Although im not overtly sure that would cause it... Depends how things are connected on your car :D

Question though, why 700cc injectors and so on just for steel wheeled stocker's???

Thanks - makes sense

The link, injectors and cam gears were all done at same time - Turbos, whilst originally stock, are now N1 in size. original injectors needed replacing so thought may as well get the bigger ones given that I was chasing +300kw - until i got the bad news

First ring the mechanic back and verify he was talking about the carbon (aka charcoal) canister.

IIRC the canister will have two hoses connected - on for the valve (round thing on the top, receives a vacuum signal to actuate), and one that connects to the contents of the canister (which holds fuel vapour). Just pinch them both off and go for a drive - that will tell you if there's a problem or not. I'd say if there is a problem it would be similar to any other sort of vacuum (and therefore boost) leak. The canister is right next to the power steering pump, as nismoid described.

If it doesnt make any difference, try a different mechanic.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
