hey guys i am in need of help!!!

my situation is, put an rb20det in to my r31 skyline, started it all ok, once everything was done and ready to drive still all ok and then about a month into it the car starts running really bad. Looked on the forums for the problems i was having and nothing seemed to work. when car is free reving it seems to miss at about 3000RPM and when under load and about to come on boost the car seams like it stops and picks up again. But some times the car runs as if nothings wrong but most of the time runs like crap.

things i have done and checked:

replaced plugs

checked coils and replaced as they looked stuffed. the ones that i put in were from an rb20 but they were spring type and the ones that were on the car were a pin type. would they still work fine??

checked cas and timing all ok.

was just wondering could a stuffed AFM cause this sort of a problem??

any help would be much appriciated.

main things:

coil packs, injectors/plugs

AFM

CAS

O2 sensor

and your wiring/ecu open ecu and check for burnt tracks

because my friend Andwoo put in his rb20 in his s13 and had the same problems...

also check Voltage when car is running

is your car running atmo bov? or returne...

cheers mate i have changes plugs, coilpacks, checked timing with timing light but didnt check CAS! if timing is ok can CAS still be f**ked? i also tried another ECU was does the O2 sensor do? i didnt think that would affect it!

the car is running standard plumb back BOV for roady ill check the voltage too!

    • So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.
    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking
