disconnect the battery .. for about 1 hour.. then reconnect see if its still there.. (this is just to reset the ECU) assuming ur running a factory unit.. if this fixes ur problem buy another computer if its manual i have a TIAL ecu to suit a manual series 1 GTST from my old car.. no speed cut no boost cut supports bigger inj as well let me know if interested..

can i dissconneted it for more then an hour?? like take it out at night then connect it back in the morning

??

a hour is plenty but u can leave off over night, does sound like a computer problem or a electronic part, may be a idea to have a inviro purge & a on car injection clean done, could be some thing as simple as dirty TPS & may just need to have a clean, worth a try... :P

5 days later... it happened again.. so i checked if there was oil in the cylinder again.. there's none so i cleaned the ends of the spark plugs. now it works good again..!! what the!! again when it did happen, i turn my car off then on again.. it worked normal again..

i have a similar problem with my gtir, what it is with mine, is my afm on its way out, and if for instance i take off at the lights and load it up, it sends the computer into a failsafe mode, limiting boost to 7psi, and making it run rich as, im unsure if skylines have the same thing in there computers.

One oily plug :P

How'd that oil get there? that's the question..

Was the plug oily or just real sooty from running rich?

If it was oily I'd be doing a compression test straight away, also I'd be driving it gently until you find the problem just in case it's a mechanical prob and not ecu or tune related ie: cracked or sticking ring or a problem with your valves.

If it's sooty from running rich and all other cylinders are fine check that injector then valves.

One oily plug is pretty scary imho.

Keep checking that plug see if it oils up again

Goodluck.

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
