Hey yall, I just picked up my 1991 R32 Skyline GTS-t (RB20DET Manual) almost 3 weeks ago but I've been diving around this forum since I first started to seriously look into buying one.

It's a 90% stock car with just under 70k miles (sorry I'm in the US) with only adjustable front camber arms, a HKS intake, Cusco front strut bar, and a Uras Type SS muffler. It just got imported by Japanese Classics so it's been in the States as long as I've owned it plus a few days. So far I've fallen in love with this car (and right side driving) with only a small issue of a dying starter. I'm planning on going for a clean drifter "look" and functionality, although I don't plan on really sliding it around too much. Next step is a new set of coil overs that can handle drifting well, and hopefully also the street but I know you can really only get one or the other in most cases.

I'm personally more of a bike guy, since they've been more accessible to me than cool cars, so I have a fairly good mechanical background and prefer to fix things myself if I can. Also feel free to ask any bike questions, as I've worked at a BMW/Suzuki dealership for the past 5 years and know quite a bit about the motorcycle world. I also have a 1973 MG MGB and a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 (daily car) but I usually ride my 2015 Harley Dyna or my 2018 Alta Redshift SM (but that got hit by a car). I know I'm here for the Skyline part so I'll keep quiet about the other toys from now on.

I hope to help anyone I can and I'm sure I'll be asking for help like I have already.

Thanks for everything already!

Hi.  Trust that number as much as you would a $3 note.  Also......did they convert the odo to miles?  Or are you converting it for us?  Either way, unless it has been locked up in a box in Japan for many years, it is highly unlikely that it's only done a hundred thousand kays.  Wound back odos is the single most reliable feature of imports from Japan.

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
