plugs are new (gaped 0.8), well im going to see if new coil packs will make a difference, car has been misfiring on full boost or about 3500 4000rpm

well new coilpacks fixed the misfiring prob. no difference with the cold start

yeah when i do the idle adjust. car is prob reving around 900rpm take the tps plug off the car raises idle tp about 1200-1300 when i screw in the idle screw the rpm dont change at all. even tho the screw is all the way in too.

in the oil thread everyone has pretty much agreed that 10w40 is good for rb25's

but a 5w40 would be better again being thinner when cold

pull the air regulator (under the throttle body) out and give it a clean, make sure it goes all the way closed too (there is an adjuster)

also pull the iac valve off (one with the idle screw on it, at the back of the plenum) and clean it

clean both of them with carby/throttle body cleaner

The spring in the AAC valve should move freely. Also check the voltage on the solenoid.

Not sure about the air regualtor, I have two of them and they both cause bad cold starts. I actually think the spring is stuffed as the small bi-metallic disc does not fully close. Anyone know if this disc is supposed to remain closed with no voltage?

This thread is great when diagosing similar problems. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Fi...ob-t174735.html

when ur car starts in the cold what rpm does it sit at and when it is hot what rpm does it sit at when start

it is easer to start when hot

what volts do u get with everything off and what it the voltage drop when u try to start and what type of battery do u have and how old is it

lets try to get this fixed.

i used to have the same problem.

Try adjusting the mixture screw... i think thats what its called. Its the screw on the manifold, on the same unit as the aac valve but on the other side. Wind that out a few turns, then start her up. If you still have trouble, get the car to temp and check your timing. I did this and new plugs and it fixed her right up.

However, it took a few goes to get it right with that screw, it progressively got better and better as i screwed out so i just did it one turn at a time. 2.5 turns got her perfect for me.

Mine was fully screwed in at first and therefore letting no air in and flooding i think... sounds like the same for you.

i think you are talking about the idle screw. and yes i do disconnect the tps when i try adjust the idle still, the rpm stays the same.

yes it fires up straight away onces its warm.

battery is like 3months old and its massive, 4x4 battery. dont ask why i just replaced the same battery that was in there before

what i would also like to do, what is the difference with cold and warm starts, like with cold starts does it give less air cause its cold which means the air would be denser??

well i think we should rule out the battery ?

do u have a multimeter?

and or a

battery tester?

if battery tester test battery to see if u have enough CCA's

if multimeter then its a bit tricky. ideally you would use the battery tester but if thats not an option then make sure the battery is fully charged. attach multimeter u should read about 12.7V and wile reading the multimeter try and start the car if voltage drops bellow 10V it might be a good idea to take it to ur local auto 1 to have it tested there.

if the battery looks angry then replace and also check your alternator. all this is. is a multimeter attached to the car with it running and you should see between what 13.5V and 14.5V then turn on head lights. the voltage should drop for a second then come back up. also check for current draw. this is the multimeter attached in series to the battery with every thing hooked up but off, set multimeter to amp's setting.

next is your air filter clean? if not clean it

have u recently cleaned your AFM if not clean it.

oil change try something with a lighter weight at cold temp

setting the A/C to "cold" will help even if u leave the A/C off because this will make your coolant bypass the heater = faster warm up

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
