Rb26 Misfiring On Cornering

Hi guys,

I recently went to the track, and although the first few outings were fine, after a while it began misfiring whenever I'd be cornering. It seemed fine whenever I would hit the straights.

It had roughly half a tank of fuel, is an R34 (which I think has a bit of baffling in the tank anyway), but other than that I'm a bit ... baffled ...

No smoke was seen coming out either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Cheers!

Thanks for the replies guys!

Does it still do it with a full tank?

Yep it was fine when I entered with the full tank - is half a tank typically low enough to get fuel surge on an R34?

^ what he said. Certainly sounds like fuel surge. Might be worth checking the fuel pump cradle is correctly locked into its bracket and that the sock is present.

I haven't double-checked this one, cheers, will pull it out and see

Even if all still in place/locked in properly, it's probably a good idea to get a surge tank in any case!

Thanks again guys

Ah righto, cheers for the info, hopefully doesn't need to be replaced!

Will take a look at it and make sure it's secured firmly as suggested and perhaps see if any room to drop it a bit more; will also perhaps just take a jerry can to the next track day and keep the fuel topped up, before going down the route of surge tanks etc

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      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:

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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.
