hi all i have been having a problem with my skyline for a while now and i think i have it done to the airflow meter or ecu

does anyone have any past experiance with a blown airflow meter or ecu, what are the simptoms of this problem.

mine is missing a bit and blowing abit of light grey smoke on idle and if you Push the accelerator in quick it blow a a far bit and sounds like its running 2 rich. have cheaked watertemp sensor and replaced it with one i know that works, tested thermo time switch. Is working and that the cold start valve is not stuck open. Cheaked air regulator that no air can get through after warm up.

please anyone with any experiance with the l24e, has any airflow meters or ecus please contact me on here, email [email protected] or mobile 0431103293

Cheers guys

Normally when the car is running too rich, the exhaust smoke is a black or dark brown colour. Light grey smoke? That sounds a bit like water vapour. Are you sure that you don't have a blown head gasket?

ey buddy,

i got the same problem, runs rich on idle, and fuel smoke come out when i start it up and when i giv it a lil bit before temop gauge shows warm, and a lil less when its warm. I spoke to a few guys at CNV in caringbah and they say its the AFM. So im going to giv that s shot. only thing is where can i get my hands on one for a decent price? and whats the model of it?

any help from anyone would be much appreciated as im new to the skyline world!!

:laugh:

it's dose sound abit like a blown head gasket so to test that is really simple all you need to do is pull all the spark plugs out and try to start the car if the head gasket is gone you will get a jet of coolant shoot out of the plug holes.

let me know what happens

That's conditional that it's blown across a cooling hole, but if it has blown across an oil gallery, you would get a very different result.

Has anyone thought of using a compression gauge to get a more accurate result? or maybe do test to see if the exhaust gases are in the radiator. Any mechanic has the gear, they put a dye in a canister and hold it over the radiator and it changes colour with the gases mixing and reacting with the dye.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.

      Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?

      Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
