hey peeps,

got a 96 gts-t t3/t4 high flow, forged internals, shaved heads, full 4 inch trust zorst (no cats), power fc comp etc etc, and it has been in lay up for the last 4 months in a garage. i didnt drop any liquids out just left as is, and it hasnt been started cause the battery died and im not in the country. almost home now and will need it asap, is there anything i should be weary about when i goto first kicking it over. im thinking of droping the oil out and putting new stuff in (MOTUL OIL) but other than that i cant think of anything else that should need looking at, any sugestions?

cheers!

Add some fresh fuel into the tank

as in time fuel will decay and moisture will

find its way into the tank, causing engine

to run poorly.

Just to be safe disconnect your CAS

(Cam Angle Sensor) and your power

plug to the coil packs.

Crank it over several times to build the oil supply

around the motor.

Plug them back in and fire her up!

Cheers,

Bill

ive heard that its safe to remove the CAS when the engine is at top dead centre, and replace when in top dead centre, how much of a neccesity is this?

no need to remove it. just unplug it. definately turn the motor over untill you see some oil pressure. then fire it up.

i would probably do the oil change after the first time of driving so that you can change it when the oil is warm to make sure you get it all out.

check all other fluids etc too.

      We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning.

      Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
