Hi there Guys,

Dont know what else i can do --

I've replaced Fuel Pump, put new vaccum lines on everything, swapped AFM, CAS, Cleaned AAC, New Plugs, New Fuel Filter, New AirFilter. New Fuel Pressure Reg.

ODB says the ECU has no Error codes.

Car is still not firing.

I did get it to fire for 10mins the other day by clamping the return line passed the one-way diafram mounted on the drivers side strut tower.

The car didn't respond well to accelleraor actions stalling the motor.

Any Ideas - I'm ready to blow it up.

Righto -- Scrap that -- Car seems to have some timing issues- but unsure where the lower timing mark is - as the Timing belt casing is all munted up. ODB seems to say that the Defaut Timing is 20BTDC and then when the car had run will run okish at around 30BTDC which is 15deg out of standard - I have lined the top up and everything seems to be good - but when the timing light is on all the marks on the lower pully are all the way to the right (half way around is the first marking on the pully).

Does anyone have detailed instructions on using ODB?

Just a thought, but in the mean-time try reseting your ecu.... Its an easy thing to do and sometimes helps

Thanks buddy - but unfortunately didnt' help just this time :blush:

Does anyone have a picture of where the lower timing mark is on for the Crankshaft Pully?

Does anyone have any recommendations for Mobile Mechanics - or Decent shops on the Northside of Brisbane that know about these RB's or have further testing equipment.

As I've wasted too much time in replacing and testing items, and I'm at the point where I need this vehicle going, or an evaluative messure on what is going wrong and how much it will cost to fix?

Hey bud there's a valve at the back of ur plenum at the firewall I think it's called the aac valve, this controls ur idle, pull it off 4 bolts and disconnect plug clean it with carby cleaner or break caliber cleaner thy fill up with carbon n can cause idle hunting. Be careful not to lose spring inside. Also there's a cold start valve underneath the plenum that works like a choke that could be playin up also, has a hose goin in one end hose comin out n basically chokes the air on Start might be stuck has a slide action to it giv that a clean to

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
