Hi all

Can anyone clarify a few points for me please.

Cam Angle Sensor.......how do i set this correctly to 20 deg ?

Cam timing.....my car has HKS cams and the Inlet is advanced 6 pulley notches (so 12deg)......surely this is rather a lot ?

Inlet temperature, runs in the 40 to 45 deg C bracket most of the time, is this typical ?

My airflow meters sometimes hit 5.00 volts......is this maxed out, and if so, can i fit Nismo AFM's without any other adjustments (i.e. do the Nismo ones simply have a broader range ?)

The car feels better on part throttle, and also feels to run stronger just as you release the throttle to change gear......too rich or too weak ?

I hope to have a wide band lambda sensor this week........what figures am i looking for and more importantly when should i be looking ?

Finally, what oils should i be putting in the Gearbox, transfer and diff

(Have been told its Getrag oil only in the gearbox >...true ?)

Car is R34 GTR, sorry for all the questions but it does not seem very easy to find any info on these cars

1.Fisrt of all to be anal you would want to make sure the crank pulley is accurate(of which it will not be)To do this put a degree wheel on the front and line the "0" up to the original TDC mark,then get an old sparkplug with the guts taken out and a bolt welded in it(make sure it hangs out an inch or so)Put the piston down at BDC and screw the modded sparkplug in.Turn your engine clockwise untill the piston hits the plug.Write down the figure on the degree wheel,then go anticlockwise and write that figure down.Then after work out the half way point from the two figures you got and move the wheel to that point......Now you have your True TDC stamp the front pully with a chisel(however this possition may change after time,so i like to scribe the mark down onto the centre of the pulley and check it out now and then)My pulley was out about 3 degrees or so....I have never seen one thats right!With your cam timing,Did you fit them yourself?I would be checking the crank pulley first them set the thing on TDC and check the position of the cams in relation to the crank.who knows if what your showing on the wheels are accurate.....the thing could be a tooth out.....i would be checking that first that gives you some sort of starting point....I have learnt one thing NEVER TRUST ANYONE ELSES WORK!!!Not because its right or wrong...because you should never assume its right,it can give you a head Phuc and throw a spanner in your diagnosis work!In regards to fluids Transfer case=Dexron tranny fluid or for extra protection transmax z

Gearbox=syntrax castrol gear oil castrol seems good in mine

Diff=LSD oil

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
