  1. Need a couple of coil packs ASAP. txt me 0450507452 Cheers, Nick
  2. Hi there, I've got a 1995 r33 Airbag for sale. $150. 0450507452 cheers, Nick
  3. Hey there, If you will do shipping, can I have a price for the wing front bumper dash surround shipping to this address 6 glasgow ave mount louisa, 4814 townsville
  4. You make some good points and I'm going to take up your advice on the o2 sensor but I'm not wrong with this VCT thing. If I apply 12v to the VCT solenoid when the engine is at idle and up to temp (when its doing its rough idle thing), the valve closes and timing returns to normal - 15 deg instead of all over the place - no unburnt fuel smell either. I just need a kind volunteer to help us out with some readings :-D Anyone game to set some records straight about VCT???? Is the valve open or closed with no voltage going to it? Is there power going to the solenoid with the ignition off? - ignition on? - engine started? - engine over 1050 RPM? - engine over 4500 RPM?
  5. I agree it's getting old but I know there's a problem somewhere. As soon as it starts idling rough (the VCT thing) i swear i could stand at the back of the car, light a match and i would be history :-( it's running that rich. When i pull up at the lights, i sometimes wind up the window to aviod the unburnt vaporised gas smell ... it's bad. I have the consult cable but can't afford to fork out $100 euros or what ever it is for nissan data scan v1.52 to run the VCT scan... thought i'd be able to find an open source one but only found ECUtalk whick doesn't do scans, just readouts. I just don't get whats going on with the solenoid?
  6. I had concidered that but I doubt it. Have you ever heard of a car coming off the production line that does that mileage? - if you google r33 bad fuel consumption, alot of our R33s are having similar issues? I really believe that there is something wrong with the VCT/VTC. Either the ECU is not giving it the correct signals or the soleniod valve is not operating correctly. Is anyone keen to run some checks on their r33s for me? Is the valve open or closed with no voltage going to it? Is there power going to the solenoid with the ignition off? - ignition on? - engine started? - engine over 1050 RPM? - engine over 4500 RPM? I can't seem to find anything in the service manual about the operation of this system? Any help would be really, really appreciated!
  7. Hi There, I've just brought a 1995 GTS-T (S1 RE25DET), it's my 1st skyline and I’m loving it however I’m not loving the quirks it’s got. Currently it’s doing 250-300km per 60L tank!! L I’ve spent hours and hours poring over forums to try and get an understanding of how this could be happening but its only lead to more questions… So far I’ve checked the following things and have picked up two potential problems Purchased Consult cable – all sensors bar the o2 one seem to be ok? Coil packs running ok AAC valve taken off, cleaned, tested, re-fitted Idle adjusted Injector cleaner run through system new fuel filter O2 SENSOR FAULTY? I noticed the o2 sensor has some strange readouts when the engines going (driving)? I assumed the voltage would creep up the hotter it got but it flicks back and forth between 0.2-3 and 0.8v is that normal? VCT/VTC PROBLEM? The second thing I noticed it that it has a funny idle. It only seems to happen when it’s at operating temperature and the only way to describe it, is, it’s a bit ‘lumpy’. When looking at the live readout using the consult cable, the timing is all over the place 0deg-15deg. I’ve checked forums and from what I can gather it seems to be the VTC solenoid is stuck open? So I took it off today and yes its stuck open but here’s where it gets tricky… I tested the solenoid and when I apply 12v to the terminals the valve closes??? Interesting! I then put the solenoid back and started the engine, instantly lumpy, I applied 12v to the solenoid, valve closed and idle returned to normal, timing at a steady 15 deg, smooth as! WTF? Now, on all the forums I have read people believe that the valve is closed then is opened by the ECU at 1050 until 4500 rpm for a midrange power increase. So why is my solenoid/valve doing the opposite? Is the ecu meant to supply power to it during idle to keep it closed? Then power off at 1050-4500rpm to allow the spring to open the valve? I’m so confused!! any ideas about these two issues guys? Thanks, Nick
