Trying to figure out why the car is idling so rough, the fuel pressure guage seems to fluctuate, at idle its between 42-43, holding the throttle open on 2000rpm it will hold on 42psi, release the throttle and the guage rises for a second on 46psi and the engine tries to stall, but the recovers and the pressure is back at 42-43psi.

just need to know if that sounds normal....

and if the voltage at the pump is fluctuating or getting too high could that affect idle quality or does the computer compensate for different voltage.

Another thing, does changing the setup to a twin scroll 6boost and turbo affect the engine breathing enough to create a rough idle?

may have made some progress here, in the power fc theres a function for "injector Correction" that was set at 1.000

raising this to 1.500 and also raising the idle to 1000rpm , the engine sounds almost normal and wont try to stall, can anyone make sense of this?

yes its smoothed the idle out and it now doesn't stall on me anymore, seems to idle at 1200rpm when I declutch quickly instead of wanting to stall too..

the fuel pressure has some down a little and holds firm and only increasing with a flick of the throttle, so funny how much its changed

will have it tuned properly in a few weeks, its interesting how a change to a 6boost manifold and a GT30 instead of a GTX30 has required more fuel, ( assuming its not a vacuum leak) .

Its a Power Fc with a Z32,

Do you think having a 4inch intake pipe and a Z32 would cause some false readings due to volume and speed of gas flow thru the two different sized pipes.

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
