Amaru

Ok fellow skyliners, beautiful weather today, and should be a beautiful night so i want to see LOTS of people out Meet up at museum at 9 - 9:30ish?

Thatd be me

I retract my above comments then

Id offer but we all know what state my car is usually in so no promises from me for any formal runs.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. We have changed the plugs in it several times since the car ran overly rich on idle to no avail. We are using BCPR6ES gapped at 0.8mm. Will take the timing back to stock tonight and see how we go and get back to everyone

Its definately not a stock motor to be pulling those figures (well from everything I have seen)

4 passangers in a skyline?!?! Wouldnt that be a bit of a ... tight fit??

It has been re-tuned, when the cams were put in and car started on old tune, it was running EXTREMELY rich (just touch the throttle and there was mountains of black smoke). After it stops is missfiring escapade, it runs beautifully and AFR's are nice and clean. Will fiddle with the timing tonight and try a new CAS, see if that makes any difference. Will let you know of the outcome, and Im still open to more suggestions of things to try

It will slowly go past, the car doesnt hesitate as such, just goes "brrrrrrrrrrrrrr" as if its hit a rev limiter. Doesnt miss when free revving, only when under load. Before the camshafts were installed the car was running 1.5 bar boost (has all forged internals) and since the camshafts were installed we've brought this back down to 1.25 bar. The coils seem ok and never had a problem on the higher boost level, theres no cracks in them etc, they look like brand new. We also tried another set of coils with the same problem. So set the camgears to 0/0 and the timing should be 15 degrees when on they're set on 0? Will give it a go tonight. I would have thought if it was a timing problem it would be happening all the time though?

Missfires at certain RPM, but when I start the car stone cold I putt around changing at 2500rpm until water temp is ~80deg and oil temp ~70deg and oil pressure has dropped to stable 2bar on idle. Then when I put my foot down, around 5500-6000rpm it starts missfiring. When the oil temp rises up to ~90deg (no oil cooler) the car usually starts driving fine. Plugs seem ok, as said, car isnt running overly rich and fouling the plugs etc. Fuel is ok, car has Sard 700cc injectors with GTR pump in tank lifting to 2L surge tank and Bosch 044 main pump from surge tank. Will get fuel rail pressures if you think it would help? I cleaned inside the AFM (sparyed using carby cleaner) on the weekend to no avail. What should I use to clean the electrical contacts on the plugs? Havnt checked this yet, thanks Around 5500-6000rpm (making 1.25bar boost at this rpm, HKS 2530's). Also driven it so it missfires with some "ears" on the engine and it is not detonating at all.

Talk to Ed about this, Greg from Pro Engines did the upgraded spring in the pressure valve on mine which is the only difference on a N1 pump. Its a piece of cake to do when you've got the sump off. Ive also got Tomei sump baffles sitting at Ed's if youre interested

I talked to Falken a while back looking for the same tyres and was told they just stopped production of them in 17 size for no reason what so ever. Apparantly they have a tendancy to do that. Talk to Tempe Tyres, they have (or had) Falken RS-V04 semi slicks for $250 a tyre in 245/45/17 and you can get them freighted to Canberra overnight for around $60. These are a proper semi slick tyre, the RT215's are not an R compound tyre. I dont know if it matters, Im guessing you just want them to show off at autosalon

Topic pretty much sums it up quite nicely. We installed some Tomei Poncams (260in/ex) into RB26 and have run into some problems, and I just cant work out what it might be and were runnning out of ideas, fast. Basically, when you start the car from stone cold, when the car comes up to temperature and you put your foot down it starts missfiring. It does this for a while then when the car gets even warmer, stops missfiring and will run perfectly, until you start and warm it up from stone cold again. This only started happening since putting the camshafts and camgears in. The camgears are set to +2 inlet and -4 exhaust. Its not coil packs, all have been checked, and we also used a known good set from another GTR, same goes for ignitor pack. Its not running overly rich, as I pulled the plugs just after it started missfiring and they're clean. There is a wierd thing happening we have noticed however, in the power fc under the 'etc' menu you can check the status of sensors whilst the car is running. While the car is cold it doesnt have a "lumpy" idle and both AFM's on idle read around 1.1v. When the car warms up it gets a lumpy idle and the AFM readings get erratic and are not even across both, e.g AFM-1 is 1.2v and AFM-2 is 0.7v, then they will switch around so AFM-2 is 1.2v and AFM-1 is 0.7v. When driving however AFM-1 always reads a higher value than AFM-2. Car has apexi pods and both should be getting equal amounts of air. This was never a problem before the camshafts were installed, airflow across both was always pretty even. We have also tried another set of Z32 AFM's and had the same problem. If anyone can help as to what it might be, would be most appreciated!!!

spotted jayce's letter to hpi in the new issue i gots in the mail today

what teh crap for... so much for me hitting you up for a lift out there and back

shes always dirty, its just the way she is ahahaha sorry

Might come out and say hi and have a drink after oc then

Get your friend to see if he can get some of the "GTR Special" back issues of HPI (www.hpi.com.au).

Amen to that. Terrible thing that happened and cant even imagine the amount of greif friends and family are feeling. Even if the accident was the result of poor driving, no-one deserves to die this way in any circumstances.

I dunno... your avatar does bear a striking resemblance kidding

Does your engine still have the spark plug cover bit on it? Has happened a few times to myself (even with the cover on) and others, a tincy wincy bit of water gets in there and it starts missfiring for a while until it dries up.

Spotted Aurora (drunk as a skunk i might add) bouncing his shite to DJ Otzi - Hey Baby in ICBM

Cruise down to the coast would be awesome, im down for that idea

R33 GTS = RB20E [2.0 litre inline 6 single over head cam] R33 GTS25 = RB25DE [2.5 litre inline 6 dual over head cam]

If shes at work she can walk downstairs and give them to me and I can pass them on to you but wierd hours, so dunno if shes here when I am
