New (frustrated!) Skyline owner

Greets,

First time Skyline owner (R32 GTS-T) looking for an online community to lean on when need. I've got some issues to sort out before winter sets in, but so far I am excited about my first Skyline.

 

Mike

Welcome! ...but why frustrated?

I can now say Formerly Frustrated, ha! Over the weekend my GTS-T drove terribly- no boost, breaking up under load unless I babied the throttle.  I got in it yesterday morning to drive it to work so we could diagnose the issue (thankfully I work in a VW/Audi tuning shop and have techs that are enthused about Japanese imports), and after a couple coughs and sputters it's back to driving as it should, although the boost gauge on the dash is no not working.  2 steps forward, 1 step back, right?

 

My initial plans for the car is maintenance, maintenance, maintenance- new tires, alignment, fresh oil, and new coil packs.

Also, can you confirm that what's written on this sticker would indicate that the timing belt was replaced at 104300km and should be replaced again on/around December 19, 2016?

I'd read the date on that sticker as the 16th December 2019, but this wiki page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_and_time_notation_in_Japan - suggests that your interpretation is correct - 19th December 2016. I'd be inclined to go by the kms travelled, but if the US is like Oz the reading on the odometer may be incorrect.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
