hey guys,

My car has been stuffing up as of late. When its cold it seems to crank over easily, but as soon as it warms up, on idle it just stalls and turns off and i cant crank it back over.

Im guessing its the earthing problem that i have been reading about but i just wanted to make sure.

Today i also put in a set of splitfire coil packs with the same result.

Thanks guys,

Jacob

Hey man, I'm having the same problem with my r32 but when i did a ecu check it told me(after i let the engine warm up) that something was wrong with the knock sensor. I'm not really sure what the knock sensor does but i'm gonna have a look see and post my result. Let me know if you come up with anything.

Hey Juvv my car starts normally again. After checking all the electrical stuff like running an ecu check and other stuff it turned up nothing. So i decided to lift the head of the car and guess what? We found leaking valves man. So this is what you do run a compression test on each cylinder. The compression on each should be between 110- 140psi. Let me know whats up. If the compression is below 100psi,get your mechanic and you buy some new valves or grind the ones you have is they didn't melt or aren't burnt badly.

Well after pulling out my valves we saw that they weren't seated properly so we grinded the ones that i already had. And now i'm starting one click even when its hot. Exactlly what is the "CAS?" Check the compression on the engine and lets see what its saying. Remember if its less than 100psi your valves are the problem. The compression is leaking pass the valves due to the head warping.

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
