Hi all,

I have been having a few problems with my R34 gtt.

If I leave the car off for 4+ hours it will either a) start then stall and start back up fine or b) start then run rough for a second and then it's fine.

I have tried priming the fuel pump a few times with the ignition before starting bit it didn't fix the problem.

Also if I leave it idle for a minute then give it a rev it will blow a lot of white smoke for a second

I have recently gas tested the exhaust and it was very high for hydrocarbons (unburnt fuel)

I am thinking the injectors may be leaking but after some confirmation, who would people recommend to rebuild them? They are nismo 770cc.

I would be doing the following:

Put a fuel pressure gauge on it, turn the engine off and clamp off the fuel lines. if the pressure starts to drop, your injectors are leaking.

Although white smoke wouldn't be indicative of a leaking injector.

Remove the spark plugs and inspect for oil, your valve stem seals may be leaking. While the plugs are out, pressure test the cooling system. Wait and then crank it over. If there is any signs of coolant, you have a head/gasket problem.

Good luck.

Haven't been using any coolant so I'm hoping it's not a head/gasket problem. I have ordered an inline fuel gauge and cooling system pressure tester so I can do those test when they arrive.

Also the Pcv valve hose running to the manifold gets sucked shut at idle, then puffs out like normal at the slightest crack of the throttle, the Pcv valve has been cleaned and is functioning so I'm thinking the hose may have perished and is too soft.

Have you bought the car recently or owned for a long time and it's only just started doing this?

I have a similar problem that is caused by my lack of a 1 way valve on my fuel pump. When cold for some reason it is happy to prime and start up straight away but if I drive somewhere turn car off and go to turn it back on in 30+ mins I need to crank the engine like a normal start, stop and then crank again then it will start nicely. I feel for me it is due to a form of vapor with most of the fuel in my lines draining back to tank and the fuel that is left warming up and becoming a gas as I have had no other issues.

I could refit it but I would rather leave it off if possible, really trying to get a clean engine bay,

I have an adjustable sard fpr so I was under the impression the standard items were of no use..

I also just purchased a plazmaman fuel rail which I think eliminates the other damper mounted on the standard rail.

If this is the cause could it be rectified by fitting a check valve or adjusting the fpr

Yeah I set mine too, but they dont seem to take much of a knock to upset them. I also grabbed the wheel on the throttle body and turned it. It wasnt fully closed so when I had set it up before it wasnt set with the throttle on the stop haha. so I cleaned the butterfly too.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
