hi there i just got my self an 87 r30 skyline a week or two ago in pritty bad shape.

there was no starter motor, alternator wiring, fan, and it hadent been started in eight months. so far i managed to buy a new starter for it and wire up the alternator but for some reason i have no reverse and it doesnt rev past 2,000rpm

i was just wondering if any one knew whats goin. any help would be apreciated

2000rpm is the highest it'll go and it does strugle a bit to get there. also if i lift off really quickly it just dies.. i was thinkin it was the air flow meter but it reacted diferently when i took that off just gonna take it to work so the boss can analize it i thoght maby puttin the battery on backwards may have stuffed it

probably has.

So it won't rev past 2000 in neutral or in gear and it's hard to get there anyway.

Have you checked timing and all the other basics?

Do a flow and pressure test on the fuel pump also. This could be a reason for it not revving very well.

disconnect one of the lines and put it into a bottle. Then crank it for 30 seconds (exactly)

double it, then double it again coz fuel flow is only around half during cranking.

You should get around 2 litres per minute.

after 30 seconds of cranking you should see about half a litre in the bottle, maybe more.

that will equate to around 2 litres per minute.

since its an rb coming out and another rb goin in it will be a clean swap

just have to look at 'other' costs like exh mods, tailshaft, cooler piping, power steering, possible brake upgrade, computer, wiring, engineering(unless your sneaky) the list goes on

but dont let me deter ya... the payoff is worth it

what would be the advantage to a 20 over a 25 do they rev higher or something? im thinkin of tuning it into a drifter thats why i wanna get it up and runnin so i can accualy drive it and get a feel of how the thing handels that way i can deturmine weather it would work

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
