I have never met him (or her :)) but have total respect for what he has to say.

Im sure a lot of people share the same view. I am not talking about a crappy sticky, but an actual section.

He doesnt try to sell you anything, doesnt try to push his business, doesnt get into personal politics (except where called for :D) and only gives you advice that he backs up with proof and or experience.

So instead of him coming to us, why cant we go to him....or would he cripple under the pressure. Im sure ALL of SAU can benefit from his advice.

Cheers

Personally if you had any respect for him you would ask him personally rather than post up a thread like this, I reckon sydneykid does a lot more than anyone should…he is a great help to all people. But in simple terms he does have a life as well and doesn’t always have time to site hours in front on the computer answering peoples questions which I know he at least gets 30pm’s atm per day which he answers. Time is money and good advice is worth money, not saying you have to pay him or anything like that but…you know what I mean (I hope).

Don’t take this as an attack on you, just saying in general. Just a lot of people expect so much when they never put in.

My 2 Cents.

SD has helped me on more than one occasion and I thank him for that. I dont think its a good idea to advertise SD as the answer to all questions though. As said by RegLineGTR he has a life outside of SAU I am sure.

How about a "Thanks for ya help SD" thread. HHhmmm I guess this thread is gonna be like that soon...

how about an "Ask the experts" section?

where you can ask members that work or have worked in the automotive industry in depth questions. (also members that are pro's, but don't work in the industry)

there must be a few people in the trade on here?

So, basically the same Idea as PurpleR32's but without the pressure on the one person

how is this different to the Forced Induction Performance section?

a history is there so you can SEARCH the previous threads and save bothering people with the same questions all the time.

Unless everyone is willing to donate so we can employ someone like SK full time I don't see why we have the right to put pressure on someone like that

I think the onus is on you guys to stop whoring threads so people can find useful posts like SK's more easily and dont have to resort to asking the same questions again.

BTW does SK's son hang out on OzHonda forums lol...

OOhhhhhhhh I don't know, I think SK should charge for his advise...............

Simple yes /no question ----------- 6 pack

Some advise ------------------------- slab

Follow up advise -------------------- Grandfather Port

Complex question ------------------- Rare Breed Wild the sphincter of the universe

Follow up for complex question -- Glenfiddich Scotch.

I would like to vote for 'me' as his agent on 10% commission.

He could give advise evry day except Thursday's thats AA meeting day.

Seriously though, I would owe him a Liqourland store just on my own for the advice he has freely given me. I owe him heaps.

Thanks SK.

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
