Hey great news to hear it is running, and well done to the guys who were able to heap over to lend a hand....that's how car clubs should be.

However....just because it is running now doesn't mean you have no problem. As Peter Brock once noted, he never met a car that fixed itself. Whatever was wrong still is, and it will let you down again one day, maybe in a less convenient place.

I would suspect bad wiring as the most likely culprit (I think someone else said that a few pages ago).

Get the car started, and the jiggle the following wiring:

*Into the ignitor from the engine loom

* from the ignitor to each coil pack

* into the CAS.

I think it is likely that when you fiddle with one of them the car will start to misfire or even stall. When it does you know which part of the loom is the problem. Don't tug on it like a 14yo boy, but don't be to gentle either because you may not make the issue recurr.

I'm sure I could get this baby to 15!

Thanks Duncan

I am going to organise a new igniter and also a wiring loom anyways because both seem dodge.

The loom is nice and crispy from the heat and the igniter of course has that crack/hole in it.

And yes the community came together perfectly on this one. Reminds me of home and away or Ramsey St

check out some local wreckers mate..... :woot:

never know what youll find.

Hey Daniel just so I am clear, the loom into the ignitor and into the CAS is not the same as the short loom between the ignitor and coil packs (which yes, is often crispy!).

You should check them too, we don't want to see you stuck again! (new thread, or season 2 on this one???)

Lol I would just refresh this thread Duncan ;)

Ohh true well I wonder how you go about getting those fixed.

I guess an auto electrician would do that sort of thing.

I'll have to check them out on the weekend I think.

Too many nights in a row sitting in the dark and cold

we can rename this thread to the "ACT - Car is broken" thread. anyone whos car dies posts here! sticky it! lets get it to 1000 pages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is skylines we are talking about. in theory should only take a week.

don't worry about the compression. if you lost half of it you would notice immediately the first time you put your foot down.

shelly, did you get a flat battery? if it's the alternator you will almost certainly get a warning light on the dash. plus it's easy to check with a multimeter....you should have about 12v with the car off, and more than 13.8v when it is running

    • I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road. 
    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
    • Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 🥲 But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
