My Skyline Has Problems

Hey

I've been having problems with my skyline for some time. It a silver r32 4 door GTS4 manual. Only mod is full 3" exhaust. It seems to be running very sluggish/hesitant after 4000rpm. Everytime i adjust the timing, it will go hard but several minutes later, the car will gradually go back to its sluggish state. I think the ECU is retarding itself. So i ran a ecu diagnostic thinking it might be a faulty knock sensor but got code55 (everythings ok). I've recently changed the plugs and fuel pump catch. The oil and oil filter are still failry new. So i dont know wot the problem could be.

So where would be a good place be to take my skyline. I've heard good things about the place at Ampol servo in queanbeyan (intergra i think is). Is there any others you would recommened.

Thanx :)

Trojan in mitchel - 62426277. Jon and Jon are very good.

I always hear good things about Ed and integra but recently i've been seeing some unfortunate results out of that workshop. I'm sure he's as good as the guys here say but I've no need to find out as Trojan are very good and always look after me.

I hope the car is alright anyway mate.

Just curious what bad results youve been seeing coming from Integra? Not having a dig, just curious -- as you know, peoples opinions on here can make and/or break a business :)

If he was as bad as some people say, I doubt Nizpro would be sending all their work from this region to Integra :)

Integra gets my vote.

No no I said unfortunate results. I wouldnt like to name names in an open forum like this but like I said I'm sure Ed is the goods and I have seen a lot more very good results out of that workshop than I have seen unfortunate ones. Nizpro hey? Wow thats awesome.

I would suggest Trojan or Integra 'ondubz' :)

hey guys,

thanx for the advice :mellow: I think i'll go to Integra just cause its closer.

I dont think its my air flow meter, as i still run the stock airbox with a panel filter, and i cleaned the element about a month ago with carby cleaner. How would i tell if the timing belt is slipping?

Thanx

well if the belt is out one tooth then you would have to keep adjusting the timing to match it, if your like me and dont want to stuff around with things like that take to one of the 2 above both good as far as i know. Good luck and let us know also post results in the general maintance area under report that failure

      Blue slip

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
