Hey guys, I'm new to the forum.

I love Skyline's since a young age and it may be finally time to get myself into one! Please bare in mind it's an N/A (will be buying a turbo once I get my full licence or just work on this one if it's good)

The owner (a mates brother) had notified me by being upfront that the car is running rich? What exactly does that mean? Would it be hard to fix? I heard sometime's it's just the O2 sensor that may need replacing or would it need to be tuned? Also would it be safe to keep driving rich?

Also that the rev's just bounce between 0-1000 rpm on idle - idle hunting it's called from what I heard? I've seen on a few posts that I looked up on google that sometimes it's a simple fix as cleaning the AAC with carby cleaner, is this true? The Idle is like this -

Don't want to spend a ton on it where I could probably find one that doesn't need any work for the same money including buying + fixing it's issues..

Thanks in advance for any help :)

So John, you would say for me to replace the O2 sensor? If so, I already have a brand new one at home. Would that fix the issue of the idle? and giving the AAC a clean?

Check if current one is dead, if you know how to use a multimeter see if the voltage fluctuates between 0.1 to 1 volt. If so sensor is ok

Hmm okay cool, I'll give that a shot if I end up buying the car after taking a look at it this weekend.

So guys if it isn't the O2 sensor, what else could it possibly be causing the car to run rich?

I do want to buy it and fix it up slowly..

If it's something to do with the AFM, how would I go about fixing that?

Sorry for all the questions, just want to have more knowledge about these type of things and what not. Do greatly appreciate all the help that's been given so far!

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
