Hey Guys, I'm pretty new to the forums. My Names Josh and Heres the start of my build and I hope to continue writing this later on.

I Found my 1993 R32 GTST on Boost Cruising about 5 Months ago for a pretty cheap price. The only Problem was that the guy that owned it had hit a guard rail at 60km/hour and crumpled the LHR guard in. He tried to smash it all back out by him self but did a pretty shocking job of it, The boot didn't line up and was just sucking in all the exhaust gasses. I ended up taking the car to CDR Paint and Panel in Archerfeild, Who fixed it up perfectly! I couldn't recommend them any more they are great to work with! post-83149-0-53993000-1368244882_thumb.jpg

I got it home Changed all the oils and filters and check over every thing. I noticed that when you turn the head lights on high beam it just blows fuses. Had a better look and it looked like the guy had cut all the wires and its just shorting out on every thing! Dad and I ended up spending a few hours re-wiring it all up. It would slightly over heat when I would go up the mountains so i ended up buy A ASI 52mm Radiator for it and that fixed all the problems! The car also has a bigger Front Mount, 3" exhaustra straight through with a cat and cannon at the back. I put the radiator in but couldnt get the fan shroud to fit so i just made a little guard out of galvanised steal to cover the fan and a air box to stop me from getting intouble by the Police.

And When i was at school I got bored and made a Gear Knob haha.

Okay so by then the car was Running great except that I was only getting 250ks per tank with Bp98. It still does this to this day and its making me angry, Im not sure if it just need a tune or what?

Other than that I was happy until I was coming down the mountain at around 40ks and under steered into a Guard rail!

I had the car looking like it had never been in a crash 2 days after I did crash it.

This accident made me hate every thing about my car haha, until my mate was selling some fake Work Cr Kais, So I bought them, put some new tyres on and fitted them to my Skyline. They ended up poking out way to much being 18s by 9.5 in the rear. So i had to put it back on the hoist, rip them off and put my old wheels on. I hoped straight onto eBay and bought a guard roller. The roller showed up in a couple of days after work. Straight to the shed I went to Destroy my Brand new Painted Guard and my other shitty side. I must not of heated up the guard enough on my good side because it started cracking the paint at the bottom. I also noticed I rolled the good guard out a bit to much haha. Oh Well..

After this I bought Type M side Skirts That Suit the car Perfectly!

The gear Knob was made by just glueing bits of Acrylic together and using the Lathe to Shape it. Future Mods will come Slowly, With First Year Wages of $7.40 Per Hour. Ill be saving for Bigger Injectors, Nistune, New Intercooler, High Flow the RB25 Turbo, Bigger Fuel Pump, New Coilovers, and a few other little things..

Currently in need of some new coilovers as my suspension is knocking very badly! I bought a d max boot lip but I'm not sure if I want to put it on the car.. A couple of my mates have transferred to E85 and have been trying to make me go for it. Maybe in the future when they sell E85 on the north side of Brisbane.

So I just got scammed with those coilovers. Apparently the guy on eBay has been banned from eBay. :( In other news I bought a catch can the other day and should be here soon.

PayPal?

Havnt been on here in a while! Hey guys, So latley I have been struggling with money because of Horrible Apprentice Wages. I torn my tyre driving home and had to buy new tyres for the rear. Then last night my Clutch pedal snapped! So i ended up taking it out after i drove home with no clutch at all. Got my Mate to weld the pedal back up nice and strong and put it back in! Works great now haha. I put in a catch can because the old owner just cut the hoses from the rocker covers and just left them sitting there. IM in the process of saving some money soi can go to a morning sesh or Friday night Practice but that might be awhile with every thing braking :(

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
