Hi everyone, long time lurker first time poster, because I need everyones expert opinions.
Car: 2003 Nissan Skyline 350GT Manual, roughly 150k km's
Storytime:
When i first bought this car it used to bring up the parkbrake light followed by the slip light and the VDC light, turns out it was a connector in the coil harness.
I also replaced the coils (with splitfires from kudos), spark plugs, both o2 sensors in the exhaust, engine oil with flush and cleaned the VVT solenoids.
Car ran fine for 6 months, drove it everyday. Then the same lights started coming on basically everytime i drove it, but it ran perfectly fine. Drove it like that for probably 6 months everyday.
I got a work car and the 350gt sat in my garage for 12 months.
I didn't realise how long it had been, went to move the car, started it with a jumper pack and took it for a small test drive, it ran like crap, hesitating and just having no power. I soon realised it needed new fuel in it.
I have since replaced the 2 cam angle sensors and the crank angle sensor, drained the fuel, put fresh 98 in it, drained and replaced engine oil.
Took it for a test drive and HOORAY, no lights on the dash anymore! But unfortunately...it still keeps retarding timing and has no power where it used to. I have let it idle, drove around very slowly to let the new fuel filter through and it's still the same.
I pulled all the spark plugs and they look pretty good, all the same, just a bit of orange on them.
I have used my Nissan Data Scan app and I am getting a knock sensor error P0328 KNOCK SEN/CIRC-B!. I have ordered a cheap knock sensor from eBay but I would like to hear what everyone has to say, I can't hear anything obvious coming from the engine, but it's always been kinda "ticky" sounding from what I remember.
I also get 2 other codes intermittently. P0011 INT/V TIM CONT-B1 and P0021 INT/V TIM CONT-B2
Any input is welcome, I'm not looking forward to digging out the knock sensor, so maybe there is something else to try first.
I also recorded a log when I was doing my short most recent test drive, I have attached it.
Thanks in advance guys!
