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

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:

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
