Just posting this to inform you all that theres a new workshop opened up at Yatala called "Proline Automotive".

The guys are holding an open day this Saturday 11th December 2004 to introduce themselves and the business. The workshop and facilities will be open for people to inspect, the boys there to have a yarn to and the BBQ fired up to satisfy those hunger pains.

The address is:

3/118 Lahrs Road

Yatala QLD

Phone:

55407900

If you would like to phone the boys, contact either Lindsay, Clint or Scott on the number above.

They will be into performance and imports plus the everday car servicing. The two mechanics that are working there are very experienced in working on skylines inparticular.

They don't have a dyno at the moment but are looking into one next year sometime.

So Mister Nizmech, if that is your real name, heres a problem for you:

Recently reassembled engine running rich on 1 cylinder. Plenty of fuel, plenty of spark, timing ok, good compression.

Would you:

(a) Have a smoke,

(B) Buy a pie from the lunch lady,

© Read the paper,

or

(d) Check the plenum / inlet manifold for a misplaced rag which has now jammed up number 1 runner and is stopping air from reaching the cylinder

I'll tell you what WE did. All of the above. In that order.

    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
    • I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
    • I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.
