ok here's the story...

for quite a while, the car has been doing this weird miss at idle. very inconsistent and gets worse when the car gets warm. really weird in that it would seemingly go away when the car is put into gear :confused:

so then took the car to the dyno day and was quite annoyed to hear that the car was pinging on the dyno. many ideas were running through my head which i posted in the poll...

so went down to see my mate Prassana at Performance Jap Specialist (9357 0658) as he has an r32 half cut there. he let me drive my car up and change over anything i thought might be causing the problem, and hte deal was to jsut pay for what the fix was. good deal i though. i changed:

- coils (got one and swapped it with all of mine to see if it fixed the problem)

STILL MISSING :(

- afm

STILL MISSING :rofl:

- O2 sensor

STILL MISSING :rofl:

so feeling dejected, i went home and changed the spark pugs but it was STILL MISSING!

At this stage i suspected the fuel pump as it explained all my problems, but i also thought in the back of my mind that it could be a blocked cat. I was sure it wasn't the timing as when i had the GTR cams put in the timing would have to be re-done by my mechanic.

well on sunday, i washed my car and was armourall-ing the interior when dad comes into the garage and starts talking about the miss. we decide to check the timing.

already have the coil cover off (the plate that says nissan twin cam whatever) so plugged the timing light into cylinder 1 and started her up

THE TIMING WAS MASSIVELY OUT!

i think it was retarted (i had to turn the cas clockwise to bring it to 15deg btdc). would have been out about 10deg at least.

i was shocked.

so i adjusted it and took her for a drive down the street. WOW all the problems fixed. Wanted to give that timing light a ramming i was so happy :cheers:;)

if only it were fixed before the dyno day!

congratulations to the winners of "SAU VIC Armchair Tuners of the Year", 2004:

- fire_bringer_

- GTS-070

- Kor'axis

- MR R33 GTST

only 5 out of 42 got it right

well hopefully that brought some extra entertainment into the VIC section for a few days...

cheers,

Warren.

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
