Hey guy's and girls

Having a few probs with my ride and was wondering if any of you had some advice. I’m having a problem with my engine but i can’t seam to find the cause of it. If i drive the car for a bout 15 min she's fine or if I take it out on a cold night I can drive her for hours with not problems at all. but if I drive it during the day for any more than about 15min the idle of the rpms drop and it sound's like two cylinders have bummed out, the tone of the exhaust changes and the engine losses all its power. At first I thought it may have been something simple like spark plugs or fuel filter so I had them replaced with no success. I thought the engine might have been running rich, but if so when I pulled the old spark plugs out they shout have been black but they weren’t really black at all and still looked new. I want to take it some were to be looked at but don’t know who to trust. Evo look like the dodgiest guy's I’ve ever met and wouldn’t trust em as far as I could throw em, and fast and the furious don’t look that reputable ether. I live in narabahnda so if anyone knows what the prob is or can direct me to someone that could help would be much appreciated

Thanks

hey it might be vac hoses loose, intercooler pipes loose, 02 sensor, coil packs over heating, check out the where to get car serviced thread and i am sure you will find someone in there that can help, i would personal recommend Trojan and Integra

Have you checked the Ignitor.......a few have had probs so now it's just a running comment/joke.

;) On my GTS_T it was the ignitor at fault.

It affects the spark deliverd if faulty, particularly when warmed up.

Sounds similar but as pointed out it can be a multitude of things. Start with the least expensive remedy. Spray the AFM with some Carby Cleaner, Swap your ignitor with a known working one and try it out. Coils ? Same with most things use the process of elimination.

or see ED

yeah was me at wakefield,

AFM is your Air Flow Meter, your pod filter should bolt onto it, sometimes the "wet" type pod filters can cause the hot wire in the AFM to get dirty, which can affect the fuel, i doubt thats your problem, but its something to check anyway

well im still having probs at least i know its not the AFR, the coil packs, the ignitor, the plugs or the fuel filter. so some one at just jap said to try the cam angle sensor, so the cars booked in agen this week at integra. Ed said he wouldent chage me if i was still having problems after changing the igntor. but i did notice integra dont seam to have an ECU diagnostic machine? thought that was a bit weard

They do, but as per 99.9% of other workshops in Australia, they dont work on JDM models. Most workshops buy ones that can diagnose locally manufactured cars (e.g. Commodores and Falcons), and theyre tailored to cars which were sold in Australia... the skyline is a JDM import :D

I do know that Ed was looking at a new one that I think could do JDM cars, otherwise swing past Nissan and ask them to plug in the Consult and take the results to Ed :D

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.

      This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.

      Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
