Hey guys

Been looking through the forums and haven't found anything similar to what iam having problems with, so here it is.

on start up and the car is idling it drops down a bit in revs and then picks back up

When traveling you put your foot down abit the turbo spools up and boost comes on up the car does not go anywhere, now when you you do this is sounds like the car is not getting enough air / fuel.

and almost sounds like a spark pulg is not firing correctly.

i have given the air filter a clean, check to see if afm is firmly plugged in

This problem dissapears once the engine has heated up abit..runs fine !

Can anyone help

When the engine is cold the ECU holds ignition timing constant at 15 degrees. It feels quite sluggish. When the water temp reaches a threshold then the ECU releases the lock on timing and it frees up.

So that might explain why it feels wrong when it's cold.

If you are talking about the revs not sitting stable at a cold or warm idle then maybe you need to take your idle air valve off and give it a clean out with carby cleaner. They get sticky and unable to smoothly control the idle revs. Usually you don't see this problem at a truly cold idle because there is a thermostatic valve that is open when the coolant is cold that allows even more air in to give an even faster cold idle speed. If you are having this problem at cold idle, check to see if the water heated valve has been disconnected (or even removed! - some people are idiots).

cheers

      Sane enough. Remove the roof liner, because the acid will go everywhere.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help and experienced opinions.  I have spent a lot of my life working on boats so I'm pretty good with fibreglass. I'll take everybody's advice in here;  I'll cut a little more of the 2nd layer away as it's a bit crunchy rust and also it's sitting high now. Then I'll wire brush it all a bit to get off anything loose, then I'll soak the bejesus out of it all in rust converter. I'll make sure to get a little hose piece and feed it into all the holes and gaps between the roof layers. Then I'll fibreglass up the holes.  Then I'll get a pallet of filler and mix it with 3 buckets of hardener and hope that is enough to build up the roof corner.  Does that sound sane? Is one type of filler better than others for this?

      My goals for it atm are to get it registered, respray and some mild power gains eventually... I picked up the car from an elderly gentleman near the border of NSW and VIC, its honestly a bit rough and looks like its been driven on a farm (because there was so much dirt underneath). Last week I dropped the subframe and emptied the old fuel out + added a new fuel pump (think the old one went bad from old fuel). Now I'm onto fixing a coolant leak at the rear of the engine + adding a new radiator as the old one is corroded. After that i have a new bumper, coils (as the old were leaking) and lots more

      Love this so much! Please post a photo when you have a bike on the trailer.  I was a little bit worried about having a tow bar on the Skyline, but having it hidden behind the number plate is genius
