yeah ill take it to morwell tommorow and have it dyno'd so i can see what's wrong i guess.

i think ill try the fuel pump first then ill take it?

i really wanted to get the problem before taking it to get a dyno :nyaanyaa:

thanks for the help anyways and ill post whats wrong with it when i find out tommorrow.

Sounds like one of the many sensors is dead, the AAC is probably gunked up hence the bad idle and it probably needs a tune for the mods that have been done to it. All of these combined result in the issues you are seeing.

my oxy sensor is old and the plug has 3 wires going into it and one is just sitting in there.

the blue wire going into the oxy sensor looks damaged but would that be the reason?

whats the blue wire for?

cat converters are the most shitty things ever, iv bought 2 new ones in my life time and they cost about $150...

there only for the enviroment arnt they?

Actually they are a brilliant invention, without them we would have alarge amounts more smog and a large increase (im talking 20% of the pop) in asthma and breathign problems.

However if your cat is the original and 20 years old it is probably not doing anything anyway so no real harm with removing it.

    • You’ll want to have the block drilled and tapped to suit 1/2in head studs and the head for the same. How much power do you intend to make?
    • Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership
    • And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.
    • No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.
    • Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.
