No dyno this week I've got a hold of an old fella that's going to work his magic on my carbs and I've got to get a fuel reg and get my dizzy re graphed again it needs abit more advance down low for the bigger camshaft

Looks to be running pretty rich , and in answer to the earlier question, run a decent duct up from the side of the Rad and drill holes all reound the Filter body helped a lot as did inverting the lid, this however depends on whether it was one of the big sumbitch oil bath aircleaner's .

Yeah it's running pretty rich it's spitting fuel out the exhaust, I'm getting the reg tonight and playing with the fuel pressure, I've been told to run about 2-2.5 psi, apparently dellortos don't like a lot of fuel pressure.

3-5 PSI was normal for the average red motor mechanical pump, Fuel pressure shouldn't be an issue as the float in the Carb should be regulating properly, I'd look at the possibility that the float needed seats are not sealing 100 % as this can manifest it'self in a number of ways or there might be interference in the Choke bypass circuit that is loading her up with fuel at idle.

The audio above sounded pretty clean so it is likely a low speed circuit in the Carbs that needs tuning and balancing.

Just had another listen to the Idle video and I concur the suspicion you have the low speed circuit loading it up and the timing at idle seems off too (based on the sound)

post-134876-14423701237979_thumb.jpg new manifold for the old girl, I ended up blowing it up, so instead of rebuilding it I'm going to do up a 202 to group nc specs because I want to turn the Orange lc in a group nc car car hopefully try and get around the 280 to 300hp mark

Thought I'd put these pics up for the old boys on here to reminisce on the old day, few years ago I pick up a old roller sports sedan lc/LJ torana, just because it looked awesome, well last night I found some pics of it back in it hey day racing, this is reaching back in 1980post-134876-14466011098864_thumb.jpgpost-134876-14466011243268_thumb.jpgpost-134876-14466011598339_thumb.jpgpost-134876-14466011695511_thumb.jpgpost-134876-14466011806746_thumb.jpg.

I haven't pulled it out of the car yet, but I'm pretty sure it's because the sump has no baffles in it , saving up for a ASR sump, , also doing a cash job on a vk and getting an accumulator setup off a xu1 for my motor. Should help it for next time

I'm not a real fan of rb30s in toranas but I'd put this motor in it for sure haha attachicon.gifImageUploadedBySAU Community1446774077.957018.jpgattachicon.gifImageUploadedBySAU Community1446774092.454850.jpg

Edit.....how the hell does the F word turn into "Gosh Darn" LOL

I picked up my sump today, I was told it was off a bianti series xu1 race car, I'm pretty happy with it.

post-134876-1450247873666_thumb.jpganyone know why it would have all the tiny Alan keys along the side of the sump?post-134876-14502479277795_thumb.jpgpost-134876-14502479627485_thumb.jpgi don't no why they have heated these little spots for???

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
