Hey guys i need to find out wat my cars doin and wat could be the cause...Im kind of worried and would really apreciate all the help u can give, I know this is long winded just giveing all the info i can,

Background: I have a 1989 hcr32 4 door, genuine 71thou kms with log books, was auto converted to manual (not sure if the auto comp is still attatched, , every thing was goin fine after the conversion, K&N Pannel filter, X force Front pipe(fitted 100kms ago) no catback thou, besides that compleatly stock, serviced every 5thou, im using Royal Purple motor oil, and Redline gear oilive put 13 thou km on it

Problem: The last 2months (2 tho kms) b4 my last 5thou km service, when i started the car cold the revs wouldnt build and wouldnt kick over unless i tapped the gas peddel it then starts and idles fine, 3 weeks ago i had it serviced and the problem is still there, wat i am also noticing is that it revs high at idle some times like 1500rpm but then drops to 900rpm, and when the air con is turned on its only adjusts teh revs some times but some times they drop to 400rpm, i get really bad Km's out of a tank. even when i drive like a nan, i know im driving a skyline and i expect high consumption, im currently on this tank of petrol see exactly wat i get out a tank but at 3/4 tank 86kms??? driving really rev less,

Thoughts: Some sensor isnt working, like teh sensor that determines idle speed and cold start, ??? : 02 sensor? i dunno

I hope that infomation helps and any questions that would help diagnose the problem please ask.

Thanks Guys

Brett

Try:

Cold start air valve, located under the plenum (near #5)

Auxilliary (Idle) Air valve, on the back of the plenum

Water temp sensor (single pin sensor, where top radiator hose joins inlet manifold).

  • 3 weeks later...
Cold air valve is that same as PCV or PCM Valve ???

and

Water temp. senor

How can i check those twon are in good working ?

i didnt end up doin any of that,

it ended up being a fuel line, with 17 years that kinda stuff is gonne be sus,

it was the fuel line from the fuel pump into the filter,

so yea chaged it, and starts like a dream,

cheers

    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
    • Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.
    • Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
