Nice to catch up with some of you guys (Andy Sir_GTR, Munro, Robert Drifty) last Saturday night .... that 6 car drag up Anzac Highway was something to behold! .... 4 cars wide :D

Thanks for taking us back to your pad Munro to show off your sexeh GTRs - they ROCK! I hope you are going to bring one out Friday night .... I would prefer to see the 33 but it might attract a tiny bit too much attention from the boys in blue .... maybe the 34GTR V-Spec might have to make do :shake:

I am looking forward to catching up with the rest of you rowdy mob this Friday!

p.s. so what did you guys think of my new baby? I think it surprised a few people and turned some heads :)

Hey Nightcrawler,

Hope you enjoyed your fish & chips!

Yep, your car looks cool (especially sideways)

You should get it dynoed while it's still standard

Will make a good 'before' figure so when you get the

bug later you can compare.

Cruise on Friday should be good. My brother is bringing

out his 'old school' SLR5000 to keep all us modern boys

on our toes. Wait till you hear his exhaust system - it's a

scream.He's got more autometer gauges than an areoplane!

On a mixed GenIII/skyline cruise it will be a hard decision

whether to bring out the ute or the Vspec.Since it was the utes

turn last cruise I think the Vspec deserves a blast. Hmmm.

Even if the gearbox wasn't busted, the R33 would not be a

very pleasant cruiser, so it will have to wait for the next track day.

Are we all still meeting at Glenelg? Maybe we could meet at the

Kmart on Anzac Hwy where there is more room?

Anyway see you on Friday,

Munro(of the clan Munro)

:lol:

I've got a dyno printout for it Munro .... 124rwkw - 1240kg car

Hence why it goes kinda ok ....

I am not gonna play with it for a while ('cos the 'boss' says I'm not allowed), but when I do the first things will be a Trust Intake and Exhaust setup, which adds 20rwkw straight away. Hopefully this upgrade is not too far off .... just have to convince someone in particular that it is a justified expense :mad: .... wives pfft

We've changed the meeting point to the Bunnings cark park @ Mild End (the details are in the 30th cruise thread) Bug's mentioned that the Kmart car park has security that don't like car cruise meets! Hence not going with that option.

It must be tough mate, having to choose btw the VU SS or 34 V spec :mad: Seeing as how the LS1 will be well represented you must bring the 34 :D

See ya' Friday,

Matt

lol I would ban people for such bad behavior public forum talk these days ....

Funny too that I still see Munro and Whatsisname on a very regular basis and they both still have their original cars from 2002 (Matt's awesome R33 TRUST-33, and John's '3litre Streeter' of HPI fame {Doug's old car for those in the know})

err Kahli check the original post date :

That is how it was back in the old days - things (and Skyline) reputations are a LOT different now, as is how we handle forum behavior.

Back then we were out every Saturday night ripping it up, and almost no-one got defected, and the cops didn't even know what Skylines were so we weren't targets etc etc

      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.
