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

      FS - RB30 Turbo upgrade bolton turbo kit - 600kw

      By Predator1 · Posted

      Details: Turbo Borg Warner EFR 9180 with 1.05 rear housing Upgraded TurboSmart integrated BOV Sanded and powdercoated compressor cover in gloss black Elbow welded with wiggins clamp Speed Sensor(Not included) (Can include oil drain(heat wrapped + titanium intake pipe with almost new filter for a tad extra). Manifold: 6 Boost RB26/30 twin scroll manifold  e-MAP ports drilled into both scrolls(I was using the TAARKS EMAP KIT) Turbo is in excellent condition. Always used Penrite 15w50 Racing oil(Changed less then 2000ks). Also using the Turbosmart OP regulator and filter. Downpipe: 4inch Stainless steel with VBand inlet and outlet clamps(included) Heat wrapped Dual ports for Dyno/Wideband usage Will throw in free 2.5 inch intercooler pipe(2.5inch From turbo outlet to 3.5 inch intercooler) - Powder coated black. Turbo made 563rwkw on mainline hub dyno at around 24-25psi boost - Pump fuel. Will def make over 600kw on e85. Didn't bother as my e-MAP was through the roof with my setup sitting past the choke line. I have a cnc ported and fully built head on my 3.2. Turbine speed saw max of around 109k rpm. I'm running this on my R32 GTR, with AC, and the original power steering pump. The manifold clears the AC lines, ABS, and everything else. Although I had new AC lines because I just wanted new ones and I heat wrapped them as well. This will make more power on a slightly lower capacity motor with a higher PR. And I have since upgraded to a G45-1500. Have pics and videos if need be.  Absolutely nothing wrong with setup. Turbo is in perfect condition. No shaft play or oil leaks at all. All the work was professionally done. The transient response of this is fkn amazing. I cannot rave more about this turbo. If I wasn't chasing 4 figures, I would have kept it. $5000 NZ. Located: Auckland, New Zealand.

      I particularly like the look of the John Player Special team. (Thumbnail isn't different but hit play for the clip)
