Hey guys,

I have recently had my car fully retuned & since getting it back, everytime i shut the car off it seems to want to keep going. What i mean is when i turn the key off the engine is still trying to run, but sounds as though its out of fuel or something. Why wont it just fully shut off when i turn the key?? The tuner seems to think the pistons have carbon build up on them??

Any help would be great! Thanks

sounds bout rite. carbon on your valve/pistons can glow, causing a deisel effect. basically the air and fuel are stil getting sucked in but instead of the spark plug igniting the mix, the glowing carbon buildup is. you should get it fixed, as at high revs, this could cause detonation, and demolish your engine.

Sounds like your injectors are incorrectly wired up to 12V constant.. meaning when IGN is turned off, the spark continues. It's only when the fuel in the rail is expended that the motor cuts out.

You don't have a turbo timer hidden away or anything like that?

I'm not sure about the carbon continuing to burn.. but it's possible in theory.

Is there any way to get this carbon off?? Im not sure if he touched the injectors? I assume not.

He mentioned that its running 22deg timing?? Its just got me puzzled, as this never happened to it before it went in for the tune. & he cant think of what it might be also.

Is it bad that this is happening??? Will it wreck my engine??

thanks for your help!

If it wasn't doing it before the tune then it _has_ to be something your mechanic has done and he needs to fix it. Stock ign timing for an R32 GTR is 20degBTDC, so 22deg is not too far out. I'd suggest that your mechanic needs to look at the work he's done and if he's any good he should be able to identify the things that would cause or contribute to the problem.

      Powder coating wheels

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm interested if anyone agrees with what you've said, and can give a good reason. Temperature of powder coating should be below any temperature you'd use to alter the wheel structure.  Powder coat typically 200 to 250. Annealing if that's what people are claiming would be occuring, starts at 300, and depending on the alloy, can need even up at 400+.   That's the only part I can think of that could cause an issue that people are believing it's from the rim losing hardness and becoming too soft.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.   Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches. Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch. If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.   Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.

      Anyone know if it's a problem to powder coat forged alloy wheel centers (Rays/Volk GT-C). some say it's bad and can damage the alloy, some say it's not a problem.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      Hey guys, I'm reviving an old post but I'm finally getting around to working on this now. I removed the battery to get a better look at the wires and i traced the wires from the headlight to the fuse box in the engine bay, but the wiring looks fine? The wiring for the R/H headlight is 3 wires and then is bundled up with the large diameter wire that goes underneath the fuse box. I didn't take it apart yet. I know you said that its a short circuit somewhere between the fuse box and the headlight. But could it be the headlight switch on the dash? Also, i pulled out my multi-meter and set it on the Ohms, but i'm not sure where to put the negative probe and the positive probe.
