G'day,

My skyline is running terrible, stalling and struggling to restart and this ones has got me stumped. The car seems to have a rev limiter of 2500? (AFM?) it really struggles to climb revs, and many times will stall and not restart. The strangest thing is the car will run perfect for the first 5 mins then start bunnyhopping all over the place like its running out of fuel. Give it a few mm of throttle and it dies in the arse and bunnyhops.

Any help is great the only thing left is the AFM, so how can I test it?

Cheers heaps

Try taking the AFM out and cleaning it with metho or something, I usually use a gas lighter on it as well to burn the metho off -may be a bit extreme but it seems to work for the last ten years of doing it every year.

Also change your fuel filter if you have not done so.

Seems to be when it gets hot that you have the problem so that indicates maybe a water temp sensor??

Yeah thanks mate, fuel filter was changed and whole fuel system was flushed out and a new tank was put it, so at least I know it's not that.

Yeah will give the AFM a better clean this time, but it was crystal clean last time was cleaned only 2 months ago.

Will check the temp sender again

I'm sure some other poor bugger skyline owner has had this before :wub:

Cheers

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
