Well today turned out to be a black saturday for me today.

been to pick up some xmas pressies as we do and I took off from the lights sedatley got to 2nd i think and (no bang) rattle rattle loose oil pressure?

I was travelling about 30-40kmh and only about 100m or so from the lights and at first i thought i ran over a can on the road or something.

I am no mechanic but if seems bad.... Sheez I only had my timming belt, pullys, water pump done 3 or so weeks ago..

Anyway I have confirmed that my belt is still attached as I can see thru the oil cap when the car is in gear and see the lobes move when i rock the car back & forth. So where does this leave me broken piston conrod valves etc $$$$?

Car has done only 104k.

I was saving up to get the hiflow turbo serviced and put new seals in as it was starting to let oil thru under excelaration

So where do i go from here? and who car I take it too in the SE suburbs (Cranny, Dandenong areas)

I eventually had it towed back home as I was only 2km from base. was the longest drive home i had . Like a funeral march

Next doo neighbour (Nic the wog) says great now put all the big gear in as he starts up his v8 monaro only 10k. Unfortunately I am not that loaded so I need some advise how & where to start with this as is a daily driver not a race car had I think around 196rwkw

Need another drink!!!

>_<

ok so you said the timing belt, pulleys and pump were changed 3 weeks ago

ok so first thing is to check the state of those, do a visual inspection

can you see any damage on the belts, does you see any bits of metal shavings lying around?

what lights come on ? did you say oil pressure light? does the guage also show low oil pressure?

does it idle at all or even start? when it went bang (or no bang as you said) any smoke ? what colour?

and after all that speak to the place that did the belts etc and advise them something has failed

it could be their fault or it could be non related and a big conicedence, your best bet is to discuss with them

I havnt started to pull the cam belt cover off just yet...(just moping around in self pity...trying not to think about yet) I cant recall any lights coming on only that i totaly lost oil pressure. I turned it off straight away but its like when you put the key in your igition and all the light light up. there was no smoke either that i could visually see.

That car wont start now either...tick tick is all i get

Slightly pissed dazza

Hey mate you should talk to Ben call him on 0433270360 he built my car JETLNR and WYTJET and TOT747 which mate 475kw on pump at RE Customs dyno day last night which won the comp. He will look after you in price, tell him Jeremy with JETLNR told you to ring him and he knows skylines back to front man. Try him out I guarantee he won't dissapoint. He is also the best tuner and all of our cars have been going for ages and we havent broken a thing.

if the car wont start at all or even try and crank over id say the timing belt is toast

it may have failed then smashed all the valves etc

pull the cam belt cover off and inspect it visually

if (and only if) the belt has snapped id say its likely the workshop who did it may have made an error

we have seen it a few times in the past, due to error a part of the process is missed or skipped etc

the end result is the car runs with a new belt but it snaps shortly after

when the belt snaps as the engine is an interferance engine, it smashes all the valves etc (engine is toast)

talk to ben and he will help you out with all your issues mate.

Jetlnr,

I gave ben a call and will organise for him to have a look possibly friday. seems a nice bloke and was telling about the big power builds (well over 300rwkw) that he's been accross. Hopefully he can give me the lowdown on my condition and maybe just maybe build it on the cheapish

Thats for his headup though. will let you know how it goes post friday.

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
