Hello,

 

During highway around 3000rpm I'm at around 840 in sixth gear.

During a WOT second gear to 4th gear I'm at 960 and I stopped at this point... (MFD starts to warn me)

Engine iddling I'm at about 550

I didn't pay attention in the past to this as I was solving others issues...

The car is fully stock, everything seems to work good

 

It looks like the engine is running too much lean ? Should I make some log data for the AFR ?

I suspected the fuel regulator and the fuel pump to be 22 years old....Is it probably the issue ?

 

THanks for your inputs

I had this issue and it turned out to be massively wrong timing making the exhaust valves open too soon. The tuner had seen too many rb26s of all kinds and I think they forget what stock is supposed to be like. They just said to me dont worry about it, metal doesnt melt at that temp.

timing probably isnt your problem just saying that you know best that it has changed, so get to the root cause.

So I try to set the ignition to 15,20 or 25 doesn't make any difference..

I have 2.6 bar at iddling on the fuel pressure line (taken after the fuel filter)

I have 3.0 bar when removing the vacum hose or during the next 5secs I put the ignition on

The fuel pressure is between 3.0 and 3.5 bars under WOT

The fuel pressure is droping slowly continuously a bit after I switch off the car

According to the service manual, these values are ok meaning pressure regulator and fuel pumps are ok

I don't know what to do/test...

The car is fully stock, seems to be in good health (no suspect sounds or lack of power )

Any suggestions ?

Man, adding a Heap of timing is a brave move. I hope there was no WOT action while doing that test

Thanks for all your input guys 

It looks like the exhaust cam timing is wrong ...(1 teeth off )

However when putting the engine at its top dead center 

the admission cam is 0.5 teeth off and so the exhaust cam is 1.5 teeth off 

Does it means that the timing belt pressure is wrong which explains the 0.5 teeth difference?

Thanks for your time

So end of the story 

by setting correctly the timing belt everything Line up correctly 

The car is now running much better !!!

I couldn't go above 800 degree on medium/hard road drive 

I'm so happy 

thanks for all 

You should probably verify your base ignition timing and do a compression test before you celebrate.

Yeah I

So to conclude compression test is between 100 and 105psi (full throttle, battery charged )

I always noticed that the high rpm didn't felt powerful

So maybe it has been damaged due to the high temp or not

Anyway it's fine for me at the moment I will leave it as it is

Thanks for the help and suggestions !

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
