Allonator Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) 1982 R30 Engine problems Recently got a R30 Skyline which had been sitting for a while, after some minor work got the engine started but it will not continue to run if any throttle input is maintained, not sure if I need to leave it to run for a while before trying. Someone please help me, engine is a L24E.

V8skylineMAN Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 The issue will likely be the airflow meter, remove it and give it a good clean/ use brake cleaner, not water. Make sure the trapdoor moves freely and you should be right. If this doesn't fix it, you will need to open the control box on it, and give wiper pads and track a good once over with 1200 grit or better yet 2000 grit sandpaper. Good luck Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/471475-1982-r30-engine-problems/#findComment-7842538 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allonator Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 I have got it running and able to rev, however it now has smoke coming from the passenger side of the block after running for a while. The joys of an old car. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/471475-1982-r30-engine-problems/#findComment-7842557 Share on other sites More sharing options...
