hey guys ive just replaced the rb20det in my ceffy with another 1 i got it all hooked up and started it and didnt seem to run right it sounded like the timing was out and wasnt firing properly and also pissing out black smoke so somehow to much fuel. i though it might of been an electrical fault since then i have had it at the auto electrician and he cant find any problems in the ecu or harness. the coil packs and sparkplugs are fine to. its possibly the crank angle sensor but thats all i can think of anyway

would any of u guys have an idea of wat i mean or would be able to help solve my problem?

cheers wes :D

Clean all the sensors with contact is the first thing id do and also make sure all the wiring to the sensors is done properly. get timing checked (cas should be dead centre), also find out if your acutally running rich or lean as even tho it spits black smoke it might be leaning out everywhere else.

well all the electrical is fine so im told. but yea im gonna get the timing done tommorow along with the cas. but with the black smoke it wasnt there before wen running my old rb20 and i have tryed a new afm and it made no diffirence but somehow it seems to run better with the afm unplugged :D so yea not quiet sure

32 motor or ceffy one?

you swap the things over you needed to?

um i had originally the r32 rb20 in it and swapped with another rb20 from an r32 aswell so it should run just the same as the last one shouldnt it?

all being well that is but yea it was just a basic swap

hey guys just letting u no i changed the injectors and a new fuel rail and diffirent coil packs now its doesnt seem to have spark :) maybe i havent put a plug back in properly but yea i cant see a plug that hasnt been plugged in.

so im getting fuel ok now but no spark would any1 have any ideas?

    • Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.
    • I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.
    • I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?
    • I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
    • Evening all. Got this odd issue with my R34 GTT. If I let the car idle for around 15 seconds or more (even when cold) and I jab the throttle a bit, a decently sized plume of blue/grey smoke comes out the exhaust. Doesn't smoke when idling alone, just when giving it some gas after idling. No smoke on cold start or from what I know, normal driving. Not 100% sure about smoke on decel but I don't think there's any. Any pointers on what I should start doing to troubleshoot it? Or if anyone has experienced the same I'd love to get some insight. Cheers.
