I will grab the afm if it is still available

Hi guys, I have just changed my CAS and I need someone to help me out who has experience setting the base timing. I lined the CAS up ok in the centre, the car starts and drives fine, I just want to make sure the timing is where it should be. So if anyone in western Sydney can help me out who has a timing light I would really appreciate it. Tyler, 0410414512.

Clean the coil valley out, clean the coil packs and replace the spark plugs. There's a youtube post for fix misfire on r33 gtr where you basically add some dielectric grease (headlight bulb grease supercrap has it for a dollar a pack) to the bottom of the coil pack where the spark plug pushes up into the boot. Worked great for me on several cars.

I had an r32 gtst back in 2004 which would do that, the car would lurch back and forth violently under acceleration. Turned out to be a really dirty fuel filter, wasn't allowing sufficient fuel to the rail so the car was suffering fuel starvation. Upon reflection I'm surprised I didn't destroy the engine, must have been running ultra lean during those periods.

Does the throttle show movement in the data scan app? Maybe the throttle plate is jammed open a bit? This is taking ages for you to diagnose, get the car to a workshop who knows skylines, pay the cash and let us all know what the issue was.

Blown/overcharged diodes probably.

Maybe it wasn't knocking on the dyno. If the maps were safe with no knock when he was tuning then it not really fair to blame the tuner. Sorry to hear the bad news, let us know how it goes.

Get to know the car before you start increasing the power, if you earn a grand a week put a little bit aside for the car so you can save up for the parts you need, don't sink your whole pay into it each week. A stock r32 gtst is a rare thing these days btw, congratulations on the purchase. Some cheap upgrades are brake pads and better quality tires. When the r32 is running properly with no issues they are actually a very fast car, so try to get all the little things sorted for the time being. Welcome to the forum and drive safe!

Yeah maybe you should stop driving it so much while there is a definite issue with the car, you could have even destroyed the turbos running that much boost. Park the car up and remove the intercooler piping to the turbos and have a look there like the guys have said. There shouldn't be very much oil but if there is pooling there that is your issue. Pull the dumps off at the rear of the turbos and have a look in there as well, you might be missing the exhaust wheel on one turbo. If you haven't got the mech know how to get that done just tow it to your mechanic and leave it there until it is diagnosed. It's not worth destroying your engine by running it and trying to boost while you have some major oil issue.

Yeah that sounds like a good idea, I will have a compression test done while I am getting the service. The car is completely stock, upgrading items on failure or items that are on the way out seems to be the way to go, the car wont be driven very much, only a couple of times a week.

Hi 75coupe, you didn't need to type full in quotation marks, it makes it looks like you are implying I shouldn't have a full service. Some things are not obvious, like rusted out pulleys that I only thought of once searching. There may some good ideas coming from members that I could have a look at whilst I am getting the car ready.

Hi guys, after selling my r33 gtst about 6 months ago, I realised that after driving a truck all week that I need to not drive a truck on the weekends. Anywho, I have just found a beautiful 1996 GTR in Japan that I am having shipped over. I thought there was a thread on 'what maintenance to do when your car arrives from Japan' but I cant seem to find it. If anyone knows the thread I would appreciate it if I could be pointed in the right direction If there isn't one, I was thinking that I should get the vehicle checked out once it arrives, just to note any issues the car may have that I do not yet know about, to change the oil, oil filter, air filter and fuel filter. Have the timing belt looked at to see if it has been changed and the condition, and as soon as is practicable to get the rest of the cars fluids changed. Anything else I should think about in the meantime? I was thinking I can get all the necessary parts while waiting for the car to arrive. Thanks guys.

I have taken the sub and amp out. Firm $5500!!!!!11111 Only things need to fix are front windscreen, dash facade, drivers window switch, maybe replace steering wheel. Drives well, engine is strong.
