Chris,

How was the O2's response (0.2-0.8v cycle speed) affected with the change ON IDLE? If the lag time is out the closed loop function finds it hard to cycle quickly.

Didn't check that as yet mate, will have a look tonight

Economy has been quite poor for a while now, hope its a bit better now

i've been running my car with closed loop disable for about a month now and i'm getting 300-350km per tank with city driving only. I find when i enable closed loop my idle becomes jumpy. Possibly stuffed o2 sensor

Checked this on the way to work today, response was very quick

Never checked it before though

Economy seems to be a bit better too

Mine is still giving me the shits

Playing around with injector correction % on each injector now. Last night I went through each injector and added 2% more fuel to see if it would help with my random knock

Injector 4 showed the most improvement, knock going from 80 to 24 at 1.3bar

so now my injector correction reads

1 59.5%

2 58.5%

3 58.5%

4 60.5%

5 59.0%

6 59.5%

Maybe I am finally onto what my problem is?

Worst knock I saw on the way to work this morning was 33. It used to be up in the 70's

Running SAFF 98 with 10% ethanol. The fuel itself showed normal knock numbers compared to BP98 before I did the adjustments

The car feels and sounds allot better. Maybe its just me, but the exhaust sounds crisper than before

The injectors were cleaned and tested a year ago, and where all within 1% of eachother. There was one which was a bit clogged, but it all was ok

Will see how it goes in the next few days

If only we could tell which knock sensor reads what. :P

Chris, If it is indeed pinging slightly and has been for some time then those little rb20's are tough little nuggets to crack.

I've done that mod.. it doesn't appear to make any difference to how the bov opens or when it opens.

I did find drivability to suffer a little when cruising around the hills. Made the car jerk around more when you jump off and on part throttle. Depending it may also increase the chances surge.

So.. I removed the grub.

Yeah, I think it probably is detonation, how much is hard to gather

Been like that for over a year now, close to 18,000kms!

Will keep going in the process of elimination to see what differance more of a play with the injectors does

BOV mod works well on mine, does make on off throttle driving a little harder to keep smooth

      Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.

      Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
