hey guys as above i have a 1983 R30 5 door Hatchback with L24e EFI

wat im asking for is info on the motor, gearbox and diff in detail if possible

i have the basic outline of the suspension so thats not a worry, just the drivechain sides

Thankyou in advance

Hi,

Check for air leaks; perished or split rubber hoses and loose clamps.

For detail on engine, gearbox and diff you'd need a service manual. There's one on eBay, http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ORIGINAL-NISSAN-SKY...52?cmd=ViewItem

g'day JH cheers for the reply, have inspected rubbers of all sorts and electrics but can only come to the cold start mechanism as it doesnt like idle wen cold start (idles irratically) and there seems to be an issue with the TPS as connecting/disconnecting and adjusting made no difference....

hahaha nice find on the manual i already was watching it but thankyou for taking the time to find it!

but i also have the problem of the r30 being sluggish during idle to around 3500rpm then picks up, aswell as between idle and 3500 it seems to have a slight miss too... if that helps

the only thing that isnt original is that i had installed VL RB30 Injectors due to originals #1 and 2 leaking real bad

....as it doesnt like idle wen cold start (idles irratically)...

Hi,

Check the air regulator (see blue circle in the pic). The regulator opens when the engine is cold and then closes when the engine has warmed up. Make sure the air hoses are clamped up tight and the connector is OK. You might have to remove the hoses and check that the shutter inside rotates.

Don't know about the injectors, someone else will know.

when u say check the rotation of the regulator which hose should i pull off whilst the cars running i assume? i have pictures as follows

Hi,

In your pics, you should be able to poke a flat bladed screwdriver into the hole, find the edge of the shutter and gently lever it open. It should open and close smoothly. Also, you can check the resistance across the two electrical connectors (should be about 70 ohms).

If it's still on the car and all connected... with the engine running, squash the rubber hose between the front of the regulator and the throttle body. If the engine is cold, squashing the hose should decrease the idle. If the engine is warmed up, squashing the hose should have no effect.

that checked out all OK as soon as the hose squashed on cold it stalled, also it just seems to go thru fuel like no 2mora :)

after it warmed up it didnt make a difference via squashing hoses

Oh well, there goes that theory. Air regulator seems OK.

So the engine: won't idle properly when cold, is sluggish to 3500rpm, has a 'slight miss', consumes lots of fuel.

And you've checked: No obvious intake air leaks, air regulator OK, electricals OK.

Suspects: TPS (I think it's only an on/off switch with no adjustment). Two injectors replaced recently. 

See if anyone else can help diagnose the problem. BTW how old is this engine?

cheers,

JH

im having the same thought too as i had no response when connecting/disconnecting/adjusting etc
Two injectors replaced recently.
sorry i should have been more specific - ALL injectors where replaced with RB30

I got a few of those, dont want them. $50 an ok price?

Swap you a mars bar for it

I reckon if the TPS is buggered it will make the car only rev to 1500 to 2000 rpm.

another thing worth looking at is the water temperature sensor, that actually goes to the ECU. if it is buggered, or the wiring is corroded it will not read the engines warm temps, thus thinking its 'cold' and dumping fuel in.

And another culprit is the cold start injector. is a separate injector that operates on startup only, if its stuck open it will be dumping HEAPS of fuel down. that nasty thing can really cause problems....

it could be just me then with the TPS just because it did nothing to watever i did with it :P

there is a set of wires that run to the dizzy/temp sensors but there is one single plug (flat-single) that when i connect it the actual temp gauge goes thru the roof! but as soon as i disconnect it, the temp reading goes back too normal? :/ - I will post piccies soon

where abouts would this cold start injector be if i may ask? :ermm:

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
