Hello,

I have just got my 34 back from its first major service since I picked it up($800!)

When I start the engine, the revs go to 1000 and then drops and stalls, all this in about 1 sec. It is an Auto (Tiptronic) I also have aircon issues which I think is the compressor. the stalling happens with the aircon on and off so I dont think it is related.

Thanks! It was a gimmie that I was takening it back, just didnt want them to pull my pants down about it.

There was a conection that goes to the top right hand side of the engie block that wasnt in fully, that has fixed the stalling problem as well as the aircon noise.

New problem now! (Yes still taking it back - AGAIN!) Every time I stop, a huge vibration/pulse shakes the engine and teh whole car, revs dont drop, it is almost like the engine is throbbing, it aslo occurs on occasion when driving at low speed but mainly at the lights.

An another note, I used to get arroubd 450+ k's out of a tank, since this service (Ingector rails cleaned, throttle body clean, Iridium s/plugs, oil fluch ECT...) Fuel consumption is 350k's WTF??

It is going back but wanted a second option as I dont like being a boomerang!

Any advise/opions?

Thanks Guys

Daz

I cant help you with the throbbing engine thing but the fuel economy thing... give it a few more tanks before you judge it. Make sure you reset the ECU by removing the battery lead thingos for a few minutes. See if that does the trick.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
