back to stock, humm, not really, well time wise anyway....

.... Should have taken the extra warranty. LOL.

HEHEEH LOL pity a warranty doesnt cover Wog tinkering :)

Shit to hear that shes not running right... mine might be better soon, once i put the shift kit on and the Power FC... Well i hope so anyway... only time will tell..

Maybe i should be looking into some insurance against my tinkering ehhehe LOL :laugh:

By the Way when are u coming up to Launceston next wog??? 16th or 17th?

yeah i am preatty sure i saw a cluase stating "IF WOG TOUCHES THIS CAR ALL CLAMES BECOME NULL AND VOID" Lol

The car runs a charm all other times, just a dog to get started. DAM IT.

She is fine warm, juts not cold.

Wogs,

Mine is like that when i come to starting in the morning. It never starts the first time But will allways start the second time. But i put my probelm down to having a power fc & maby it gets way to much fuel.

And in regards to whats going on with everyones car. Dr drift tuned mine the other week and bascailly brought my boost on from 18psi @ 4660rpm to 18psi @ 3350rpm. So it put a big smile on my face when it hits boost that early and wheel spin!!!

your start up problem wouldnt be from testing the cylender pressure, ive done mine (yes it was perfect) and never had a problem. ive got a leak down tester and something even better, its called teekay head check and it tells you if theres any gasses that shouldnt be in the water in there. i personally think its something quite simple thats wrong with your car. have you had your injectors cleaned and flow tested?.

and, does your car still have that mid range flat spot?, im about to spend a lil cash on my 33 to make it go a lil better and wanna research as much as possible :P

Hi Toff.

Yeah well when i did teh compression test, the car started fine the next two times, so possibly i bumped a wire somehere and made things all good. No idea.

I think it is something simple too, but not sure what. My fuel ecconomy sux though, i have been getting 300-350 out of a tank, use to get a hell of a lot more, but the plugs all look thesame.

The Injectors are stock, and have not been cleaned ultrasonicly or anything, but the plugs look identical, so i presume that it is actually ok.

I went to goranges yesturday, and they did that sniffer test, teh one when you hook up a probe to measure the hydrocarbons in the water, and it came back negative, didn't eaven budge, but that still does not rule out the head gasket.

I had a bitt of a fiddle last night, and i took out the hose to the cold start valve and found allthough you could blow through it, it wasn't easy to do so, so maybe that is the culprit, when warm it is fully closed, so it does work, but possibly not oppening fully.

So i think it is eathier fuel or headgasket, or a sensor, could be AFM, warm up. LOL. sound slike a lot of ors.

In regards to the flat spot, nope mate, have a look at my Kutsie take 2 post, the new computer sorghted all that out.

I need to get a hold of consults for myself, that way in the morning i can plug it in and see what it does.

The thing that sux the most, is that seing as you can only do it when cold in the morning, it is hard to diagnose the plroblem any other time.

ALSO, how much would you charge to do a leak down test done. I can come and take all the plugs out and so forth. PM me if possible.

The hunt continues.

mate i seriously doubt it would be your headgasket, honestly i think its something computer orientated because what you describe is a cold start issue, reset the computer once more then run another diagnostic :D . where did you get the central20 ecu from and how much btw mate?

The ecu was freeeeee, i sold my old one, and the new one was $180, which was the same price i sold mine for.

It works a charm. Yeah i think you are right, it's electrical, or a leaking injector.

Who knows, i hate electrics.

hey toffy a start for your research on how to get rid of the flat spot shoud start with a PM to sydney kid as he has heaps of experiance at it. also i read in the thread about the jacar electroninc boost controler and air fuel controler that SK fitted to his stagea that he was able to tune that "flat spot" out with thoes 2 controlers. im pretty sure he used the benifits from both not just 1 of them to do it as i belive he found that the EBC controled the boost over the "flat spot" better than any other type of EBC and the air fuel controler helped with the rest. he highly recomended the 2 and said that it was probably the pest and cheapest product on the market for fixing that flat spot.

anyway maybe that helped .

oh yeah, so you bought it second hand then? ;)

cheers for that mate :yes: , i shall annoy them for some info :P

Ok so did some more snoping arround.

The fuel injectors are fine as far as i can tell. The pump seams to hold pressure ok.

I cleaned up all the conectors, inside engine bay, and ECU.

Checked watter, defnatly ok, so far. Well i think, there was a little missing, but that was becaus ei opend the cap 3 times with watter spilling out when the engine was hot.

BUT what i found, was that if the AFM was disconnected, the car started fine, as per usual, no isses no splatters or anything.

Does this mean the AFM is stuffed, or possibly a massive air leak, My vacume is about 17 mmHg on the guage.

Hay toffy, if you read this, can i borrow an AFm for two days to test if this is teh couse.

You have no idea how much im hating you right now :)

Good luck with the shake down :ninja:

It sure is fun on the street, thats when its on boost but the tyres arent liking it at all. Off boost she feels like a standard old skyline with a bit more noise.

Ok, my R31 GTS2 is now turboed and I am one happy camper. Only managed 170rwkw on the dyno today, but that was at 7.5psi.......

Need to open the exhaust size up to stop choking it and I can wind hopefully 12psi into it, should get me close to my 200rwkw aim.

>_<

Good effort mate, top stuff

hope you get the 200kw you were hoping for

Don't forget to take me for a spin sometime...... :ermm::laugh:

I might be having a change of plans and selling the 33. Still not sure tho but am looking into something a little different. Is there anyone out there that would be interested in a 400kw skyline??

    • Assuming the current ECU is stock, it might be worth getting hold of a nissan data scan cable. It could be as simple as voltage at the ECU
    • You need to test for spark when it matters - ie cranking. Kill the fuel supply, pull a plug and earth it, set up a camera and go crank. The spark needs to be consistent, every other turn of the engine. Not some sputtering of occasional spark. The reason I say this is because spinning the CAS in the air is not the same as spinning it installed, and if there is a bearing problem in it, the disk might work differently in the air than in the engine. You won't want to try to set the timing unless you know the spark is happening right.  Also, reconsider running the R35 coils against the stock ECU. They like a different amount of dwell cf the originals. It's not massive, you can actually run them, but it is better if you can adjust the dwell (which you can with Nistune in the stocker, or with an aftermarket ECU). Besides any of that - when you had the multimeter out, have you got power where it needs to be, earth where it needs to be (and when, in the case of igniter triggers), etc?
    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below
