Rb26 Missing, Spluttering, Sluggish, Being A flamin mongrel. Help Me Before I Burn This.


Recommended Posts

hey guys

getting over this piece of shit.
freshly built 26 with GTSS's
stock boost, stock injectors, pump with 12v direct feed and stock ecu.
the goal is to get it running nice and mint, in stock format, before i begin adding more fuel, boost etc and reach the final goal.

so far.
car does not miss on idle.
car will miss, splutter, cough etc when given a bit of throttle when cold, wont get above 15kms
once warm, the car will not miss at all, and will drive normal, although EXTREMELY SLUGGISH
i mean, so sluggish the old RB20 went harder than this.
it feels like theres a restriction somewhere.

its doing my head in,



thank you in advance.
ps: im seriously considering burrying this car, this car is the root of all evil, this car is the devil Z's R chassis cousin.
f**k this car.

Wont be the afms as they were swapped out and cleaned, as well as had the solder mod.
tps is possible, cam timing is in stock position.
could be a collapsed cat?

wasnt able to get much done, as the week end was pretty busy, and it was raining.

borrow another CAS, unplug TPS and re-time at 20, plug back TPS, report back :)

will try this as soon as i can

    • Dang I looked at this for so long until I realised it was for the inner rod. I was so confused. This looks like a great tool. Another injected plastic box for my collection. I for one am a torquer. I'm far too anxious and neurotic to not use the correct torques whenever I can. I do honestly feel like my wheels will fall off if I dont.
    • Not sure if you're being serious? I, and all the car people i know, ALWAYS use a torque wrench for wheel nuts. I assumed any car person, apart from tyre centre monkeys with rattle gun in hand, would do it properly.  Anyway, no further reply from me on this unless legit discussion from OP or his query so, over to you, knock yerself out.
    • I was wondering about this. I'll do some research.
    • Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.
    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
