Guys,

Took the ceff out for a decent spin around my area today, found a few things wrong :down:

and help would be awesome.

1) powersteering is on and off

theres no leaks, has plenty of fluid, belt is good.

either the rack or the pump is dying?

What can be used to replace the stuff items from other models of nissan?

2) Missing /spluttering on boost

Running a gt2535, new platnuim plugs, gapped correctly, everything seems ok.

might be down a coilback?

keeeping in mind that its running a stock ecu

any idea's?

3) strange idle

doesnt want to idle, then it does, then it does at 1500rpm.

Im sure ive red something about the acc valve in here.

Cheers :P

pretty sure its the rack in the car Dan, ive changed the pump, checked belts, bled the lines etc, the only thing i was going to do was change the rack and the ends. should sort it out, but before i got it all running the power steering used to only work once the car had warmed up, weird. also, S13 rack is what they have, but get an S14, aparently a little extra lock :D

not sure about the missing on boost, never had a prob, but that was with stocko turbo (stock ECU) and also with a 2530 HKS running PFC.

Idle, not sure, something to do with the Acc valve, i think softy unpluged it and it idled fine, so not really sure. only happened after we swapped over the engine, but we used all the same accecories, used the same loom etc. was stumped on that one, maybe an auto elec can shed some light. maybe try cleaning the idle control valve as it was sitting around for a few months before i got time to do the swap?

good luck with it! i miss sliding the old girl now :) currently looking for a new car to pig out :)

      The Ls1 R33 Of Fury

      Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.

      Welcome Mark. Do you have a Skyline or are you looking to get one?
