Hey peeps got a 32(RB20) thats running like a sif, carrying on, surging and shit.... cant figure it out, it wont come on boost properly at all in 1st gear gets to about 4grand and starts surging, only does it sometimes in second, third excet.... also i'll be crusing in 5th on the free way, put the foot down to the floor... starts to spool up gets to about 140 and then just blows off by itself even know my foots on the gas, it dosent happen if i got the throttle half way down.... Now, i have a gtr top end out of a 32gtr sitting in my garage for a future project and i looked into it and found that some of the are the parts are the same for the rb26 and rb20 are..... i know for a fact that the gtr motor was running micky mouse at the time i pulled it out of the car, cause i took it for a spin (with the caved in roof, went hard... damn shame would of been a nice car)... so anyways i thought it had a miss, but after unplugging a coil at a time it got worse, (i replaced the coils anyways and checked the wiring and plugs... i replaced the AFM the black square thing that bolts on the top of the coill cover...(think its a dizzy?, correct me if i'm wrong). replaced that silver round thing on the front of the motor think its to do with the timing... replaced the plugs (ran horrible first time, forgot to gap them, after gapping them ran better but still like i sif). but injector cleaner in and octane booster but that made no difference. put a new gasket of the exhaust manifold, and had some small holes in the exhaust welded up, replaced some rubbers that looked a bit ratty, still a couple on there that have seen better days but i could feel and air getting out, I there any way i can do a pressure test with a a compressor or something, i tried reving it and seeing if i could feel any air escaping but i could tell cause of the clutch fan... i had a comp test and the motors getting tired but only 1 cylinder was just under the good soon the rest were just inside...Before this problem occurd the turbo blew up (was a HKS 28/35 or 33 i think) so got my mechanic to pull it off, he discovered that it had no water lines running through it only oil...(had the car for about 3 months at this stage and i was the first thing to go,) anyways it couldnt be recod so i had to buy a new one, found one a garret one(same turbo they use on the 911t's but its got nylon berrings the instead of metal ones), apparently the exact same just HKS dont make it anymore or something, had some braded hoses and stuff made up (my mechanic got it done at a gas joint by memory, had these new style out worked a treat. got the car running, started straight away no dramas at all, car made 197rwkws when i brought it (had major service, timing belt and dyno tune done a Electronic automotive, was making 160 before that... was bout 3 in the morning when we finished and cold as, let it warm up took it for a drive... was a weapon heaps quicker.. i have a HKS piggyback computer (FCON V) in it with a apexi dual stage boost control heaps of other goodies.. i'm thinking it might need a retune or something... but i dont see how thats the problem when it ran fine when the turbo was replaced, anyways any advice would be great cbf having sitting at a mechanics while he goes through all the shit i'v already replaced and get charged a f**k load til they find the problem.. cheers

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
