Well its not a skyline but since its a classic datsun I think it deserves a thread in here too :cheers:

Old does mean classic, right?

I'll put up some photos later today, but basically she's a gorgeous 1980 200b with some small patches of rust. We might get round to cutting them out one day.

So far its made it home to the garage after a quick tune (thanks Nathan!) Everything is running as well as can be expected for an old car.

Rust...yep, plenty of that....doesn't look like anything's going to fall off any time soon but theres plenty of holes in the bottom of the panels and sills.

The car is just going to be attacking motorkhanas in Kel and Tosh's hands so it doesnt need to be roadworthy (lucky that). The seats except drivers are gone so the interior is ready.

Future plans.

First thing is welding the diff up, the rear axle is finally off so it will be done in the next day or two. Then chuck it all back on including those complicated looking drum brakes :(

After that....it depends how it runs next sunday, possible plans include:

Needs a new steering wheel

Swapping to a bluebird trx rear axle so we get some nice disc brakes

New springs and shocks....the ones in there look pretty bad....not sure which ones to go for yet

mmmm engine mods, or just whack a ca18det in there

maybe front caliper upgrade if the are having trouble, but probably not necessary.

/ignores pete and hopes everyone else does too

Nathan welded up the diff for us last night, and we threw it back in today....thanks to Chris for his help, especially with the jigsaw puzzle that is drum brakes...

Everything was looking good......until we undid the gearbox drain plug.

Now of course you never remove a drain plug without opening the filler plug first to make sure there is no problem right? right.

So we took the gearstick off, no worries just lob the fluid in there and everything is sweet.

Undid the gearbox drain plug and out comes 2l of mud (almost as bad as the diff oil, amazing how bad oil looks after 25 years)

Did it up again and started pouring fluid in the hole where the gearstick goes. Realise *very* quickly that the fluid doesn't drain from there to the rest of the gearbox.

Curse

Swear

Have a look at the gearbox and find a filler plug with an allen key hole (which I didn't have either) which will require an oil pump

Give up for the day.....

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      By codygrimm27 · Posted

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
