I know why my car is so fuely ... Well, even more fuely and gutless than normal :(

Alternator is shagged. 12v maximum during running, and 11.buggerall volts once you turn lights on.

If you just turn the lights on, the voltage drops from 12.buggerall to 10.something fairly quickly... Is that a battery problem? Or is the battery only partially charged cause the alternator isnt doing anything? Even with revs (2500-3000rpm) it wont charge the battery at all, just holds a constant 12.3'ish volts.

Piece of crap. I'm with will :P Gimme the little buzzbox back :D

Glad to hear it's only something small Will.  

I might ring Gav and ask him why he didn't answer my phone call at 11pm last night.

LoL, other than the sleep thing and all :(

Good to hear it was only a loose wire tho. I think, does that mean your not stripping it anymore? :P

if the alternator belt isn't slipping or overtightening, and measured idle voltage at alternator/battery not showing 13+ volts then alternator is gooooooonnnnnnneeeeeee. :(

dave you can still strip my ful sik subwoofa tape deck?! :(

hmm so does that mean next time I got pick up my pos 32 it'll sport a sohc head with a ded commie battery and sits on bricks? :D:( godamn bogans! :P

RB26ETT for Willis :D

Who needs to D(ouble overhead cams)?

Hmm... RB26 head on RB30 block....

Oh well, I'm sorta glad there is something fairly big wrong in a way... It makes a good excuse for the lousy performance and huge amounts of fuel smoke :D "Oh yeah mate, normally I got 800hp but damn alternator was shagged so I only had 100hp" :P

Now I'm not a mechanic... (Unlike some :S ) But I'm gunna disagree on this one...

Cause... The spark doesn't burn the fuel... The spark starts the fuel burning (I thought) and then the flame front ignites the rest of the charge...

So, tiny spark may not be perfect, but it will either ignite, or miss... Not just burn some of the fuel and spit the rest out...

Also, with low voltage, the injectors wouldn't be opening up as much anyway, so there would be less fuel than usual... (depending on ECU (the car does have EFI doesn't it Andrew :cheers:))

I'm guessing timing and / or fuel pressure and / or tune...

/awaits proof of my stupidity...

Dunno the technical side of it, but with Brutis2, when the alternator died and started giving low voltage he would run REAL fuely.

Then as the voltage dropped lower, he would misfire. Finally, car died totally.

Either way, the alternator is shagged. 12.2v at big rpm in neutral with no lights etc on isnt right. And 11.7v with the lights on also isnt right :cheers:

firstly strutto...low voltage can do weird things to the way a computer runs.

secondly a injector doesnt need to have a full 14.4 volts to operate properly

thirdly poor spark and overfueling ......well the fuel just extinguiishes the flame....cause the.....well it just does , hence the misfiring and such.

fourthly i think andrew will find that if he turn all accessories off the car will run better(cause of the low volt deal)

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Rezz · Posted

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Noobie Stagea owner..

      By Turbodoc · Posted

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
