Hey guys, im after a few opinions from you guys that have had alot of experience with RB26's. When i shut mine off ther is a breif rattling right when everything comes to a stop. Ive been told it doesnt sound normal. Anyone else have this noise? If not wat would it be? I know ther must be lots of things it could be. I have my turbo's off at the moment and im about to remove the throttles for the 3rd time (chasing a high idle) So while its apart, if it'll make it easier where should i look first? It seems to come from the driverside of the engine...

Regards,

Deren

Godzilla32,

Yeah i think we have the same issue. I really wanna work out wat it is, it frustrates me! Wouldnt be CV joints as the car is at standstill..They cant make a noise if they arent moving...

Any ideas guys?

nah mine are stock turbos ... It only last for a second..nearly sounds like a chain rattling but as far as im aware there are no chains in an rb26 are there? maybe its a gearbox noise?? Ive been told to use a stethescope to listen to each bit separately while its shut off repetedly

er, could be anything... starter motor is down there, maybe it has slightly loose bearings or something. You could also let the clutch out whilst in gear and see when it stalls whether it still makes the noise.

For the high idle.. might want to look at this if you haven't already: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=69151 - I am pretty sure all RB engines have the same air regulator system?

When the engine shuts off (in any car) the whole car vibrates, so whatever is metal near metal is causing the noise. I wouldnt worry about it. Because one of my cv joints has collapsed and you can hear the metal scraping the metal on some bumps (sounds similar) my theory is its my CV Joints. I'm getting them replaced soon and we'll see. :D

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
