bring it to the workshop near ur place. if u in mt gravatt i knw a good mechanic around there which is near the JB HIFI. i used to work there. is locate in front of the pool n snooker shop. if u knw where.

Did u check the coil packs see is it burn ? i think i had tis kind of problem before in my work place's customer's car. but is R33. yea i just hate the hicas light alway on and off.

but , if is about the idle. pull the coil packs n check whether is burn or not. if im not wrong one of my customer's car had tis problem. we check all the sensors n nothing wrong with it and end up is the intake pipe which is from air filter to the turbo pipe. The reason of the pipe is because of the heat make the pipe get softer n when u the pipe will b squire. Im not sure if is the same problem i had in customer's car.

Just bring it to the mechanic near the JB HIFI area. i already lost his phone number and forget what's the workshop call.

Good luck

Mick

Thanks halo,

Yeah thanks to alot of people who have given me some great opinions guys..... thankyou alot.

I think im gonna start by tracing these wires in the steering column and make sure there all connected up and not cut / faulty. I have no resivor in my 32 at the back so im guessing my hicas fluid is from the PS resivor which is full.

As for the idle im going to first clean the AAC valve and reset the base idle etc, change fuel filter and then if its still the same, take the coils out and check them thoroughly and maybe also cover them in industrial grade silicon just incase there starting to arc out.

I think the connectors for the plugs that connect to the coil packs are rooted as the little plastic insides have crumbled up? has that happened to anyone else yet?

Do i just hunt for a 2nd hand set of leads/wires with the connectors on? or can u buy those plastic bits new from nissan?

Also picking up a 2nd hand speedo as mine has split the plastic housing at the back and causes the speedometer to jerk about sometimes and plus the odometer has stopped working :S

Thanks guys for all the advice and help.....

Its great to know i can always ask the SAU family for some help

Cheers BOOSTA (pete)

for the spedo cable u cant get the plastic bit. u have to change whole spedo cable which u can get 2nd hand or from nissan dealer which will cost u too much so juz go to wreckers and get them. because of the speedo cable cause u the add metre stop working.

try getting your injectors cleaned and see if it makes any difference, my r32 was doing the same thing - drives fine idles shit, when i got the injectors cleaned it fixed it. could also be the coolant temp sensor, the car thinks its cold all the time so its always running rich, might be worth changing, theyre pretty cheap.

Hey Guys,

Thanks so much to all who have replied, i have quite a good list of things to start checking over and one by one will knock them off the list.

I dont know what i'd of done if it wasnt for the help from SAU, Does anyone know a good way to check out cooler piping to see if its leaking air anywhere? Because my standard bov is bloody loud, sounds like a turbosmart atmo vent one even tho its plumbed back ?....

THANKYOU !!!

My List to check......

1. AAC valve and assembly (including clean out and idle reset)

2. Connect Wires in steering column and check over. (hicas checkover)

3. Replace Fuel Filter and check out old one.

4. Check over Coil Packs and also cover in industrial silicone

5. Check and possibly replace coolant temp sensor.

6. Check AFM and Oxy Sensor for correct readings.

7. Check Injectors and clean if needed.

8. Check all intercooler piping for possible air leak... as i think thats where the backfire problem is occuring !!!!

#My car specs#

1989 R32 GTST

Rb20det

Standard Turbo

Standard boost (spikes to 11psi)

Standard plumb back bov (bloody noisy? possibly leaking somewhere?)

Standard Dump and Front pipes

3" Bee R cat back exhaust

New NGK Iridiums (standard gap)

I put money on it that it is your ECU.

There is a series of actions you can perform to reset your ECU to factory settings. Do a search you should be able to find it.

If not let me know as I can find out.

Grippy.

if u wanna reset it, just unhook your battery and pump the brake pedal a few times.

i suggest taking the car to a workshop, they will find the problem alot quicker and easier than you will. charlies at wooloongabba know skylines very well, they deal with alot of them. im sure they will sort your problem out very quickly.

on the bov issue, u might find its stuck shut (if they can do that) the noise you are probably hearing is the flutter noise the air makes as it comes back out the compressor wheel of the turbo. try sourcing a new stock bov, it will most probably fix that.

    • Very decent bit of kit. Definitely black it out I reckon.  
    • Because people who want that are buying euros. The people with the money to buy the aftermarket heads and blocks aren’t interested in efficiency or making -7 power, they’re making well over 1,000hp and pretty much only drive them at full throttle  best way to way make money is know your customer base and what they want and don’t spend money making things they don’t want. 
    • It's not, but it does feel like a bit of a missed opportunity regardless. For example, what if the cylinder head was redesigned to fit a GDI fuel system? It's worth like two full points of compression ratio when looking at modern GDI turbo vs PFI turbo. I'm pretty reliably surprised at how much less turbo it takes to make similar power out of a modern engine vs something like an RB26. Something with roughly the same dimensions as a -7 on an S55 is making absolutely silly power numbers compared to an RB26. I know there's a ton of power loss from things like high tension rings, high viscosity oil, clutch fan, AWD standby loss, etc but it's something like 700 whp in an F80 M3 vs 400 whp in an R33 GTR. The stock TF035HL4W turbos in an F80 M3 are really rather dinky little things and that's enough to get 400 whp at 18 psi. This just seems unwise no? I thought the general approach is if you aren't knock limited the MFB50 should be held constant through the RPM range. So more timing with RPM, but less timing with more cylinder filling. A VE-based table should accordingly inverse the VE curve of the engine.
    • I've seen tunes from big name workshops with cars making in excess of 700kW and one thing that stood out to me, is that noone is bothering with torque management. Everyone is throwing in as much timing as the motor can take for a pull. Sure that yields pretty numbers on a dyno, but it's not keeping these motors together for more than a few squirts down the straight without blowing coolant or head gaskets. If tuners, paid a bit more attention and took timing out in the mid range, managed boost a bit better, you'll probably see less motors grenading. Not to name names, or anything like that, but I've seen a tune, from a pretty wild GT-R from a big name tuner and I was but perplexed on the amount of timing jammed into it. You would have expected a quite a bit less timing at peak torque versus near the limiter, but there was literally 3 degrees of difference. Sure you want to make as much as possible throughout the RPM range, but why? At the expense of blowing motors? Anyhow I think we've gone off topic enough once again lol.
    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power
