Have just put new rb30 into r32 with rb25de head and rb20 cams. Since I've tried running it it idled like a dogs breakfast and stalls and in doing so the apexi avcr is saying injectors are at 90% duty cycle at idle. Car will running and revs out and when warm is ok but the idle starts to hunt from 1000 to 1500 also the idle at 800 is like its miss firing but its not. I have new temp sensor new coil packs new plugs new coil harness and the list goes on. The one plenum is a side intake and the aic valve sits underneath. Can anyone helps please. This making me pull my hair out.

Could be a miilion things.

Has that ENTIRE setup come out of another running car or is it a freshly built engine with all the newly acquired parts used to put it all together?

What computer are you running? Has is been tuned at all to run on the current setup?

Is there a vacuum leak? Old fuel?

There's a whole lotta variables that you're going to have to go through one at a time in a logical order.

Good luck!!

Thanks mate. Yes all is new and its waiting to be tuned has bigtime in it. Found out it was typical aac valve issue but now its missfiring on cylinder 6. Has spark has fuel. Has new coil packs plugs coil loom and freshly clean injectors can't seem to isolate the issue. Ignores has good resistance and signal. Any help on that?

There was a guy just last week that found he had low battery voltage and that was enough to drop a couple of cylinders so try that first.

Have you swapped coils/injectors/spark plugs from cylinder 6 to see if the problem moves? If not do each item one at a time.

^^^ damn dude. ok so check low voltage. well today i pulled the coils out and swapped them with 3 others plus a spare nissan set i had in the shed with a spark tester and it has spark on every single tested coil pack i also pulled the injectors and checked that they have flow and swapped them around and ALL injectors have flow. also recalibrated fuel pressure regulator as it was getting 100psi pressure....................................??? anyway didnt fix the issue my ecu has a nistune daughter board it it to so what voltage should i be looking for from a skyline alternator?? 14.4v?? also now engine wont stay idling just dies pissing me off big time this has cost me 30k to build this thing.

Get a stock computer and try that (one that matches the head/wiring you're running).

It sounds like you might be on to something when you say it only plays us when bolted down. Possibly coil pack harness? Try one of those too if you can get your hands on one.

cas works well tested it, sctraching my head bout ecu been lots of rain here lately just did code check on ecu came up 55. has z32 afm wondering if that maybe an issue with old wiring i know alot of people fall on that too and doesnt come alot as being wrong will try sitting coil pack on head with a lead running from coil pack to plug tomorrow. timings right. it has rb25de head on forged rb30 awd bottom end in a r32 gts4 stock cams fully recoed head and new 100lb valve springs arp head studs and rb26 head gasket. so i'm ruleling out compression issue. stupid thing has piston slap above 1500 rpm in 1st cylinder though thats another story i know what i have to do to resolve that. theres not much that isnt new on it. maybe needs more earthing out from block???

any number of reasons (including the above) for cylinders to randomly drop. . . when mine did it -turned out the stock ecu was as crook as a chook

forgot to add. .electrician told me some of the pins on the wiring loom(going into the ecu) was a bit dirty , when you moved the ecu with the engine running it would sometimes drop a cylinder or just stall, maybe if you sniff around there you might find your problem

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
