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!

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

      It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it. Have a fish around amongst these hits https://www.google.com/search?q=surface+mount+transistor+m33&sca_esv=9cb49794e0b2005d&source=hp&ei=2vJ5aNjTB7Kw0PEPldnS8QM&iflsig=AOw8s4IAAAAAaHoA6qkfmF6XcygtrZ4Vu9f92NXF_RFd&ved=0ahUKEwjYqIPP7MWOAxUyGDQIHZWsND4Q4dUDCA8&uact=5&oq=surface+mount+transistor+m33&gs_lp=Egdnd3Mtd2l6IhxzdXJmYWNlIG1vdW50IHRyYW5zaXN0b3IgbTMzMgUQIRigATIFECEYoAEyBRAhGKABMgUQIRigAUjKCFAAWABwAHgAkAEAmAHfAaAB3wGqAQMyLTG4AQPIAQD4AQL4AQGYAgGgAuYBmAMAkgcDMi0xoAfMBLIHAzItMbgH5gHCBwMyLTHIBwU&sclient=gws-wiz

      South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.
