cant anyone help

The link that the other member has given you is to a Russian perons HOW TO DO IT and its execellent info - its really not that hard a job - I USED THE INFO and have installed Splitfires in an NA R34 - however I found that the HOW TO info is PARTIALLY INCOMPLETE in some parts - but luckily only in relation to the various vacum lines /connectors that you need to disconnect to remove the inlet manifold etc.in the area of the rear of the motor esp the r.h.s (presuming you are facing the motor at its front).

Start off using his info and when you near the end of undoing things and almost ready to remove the manifold etc you will see that there are some extra rubber vacuuum lines/connectors around the far rear RHS of motor that he has not mentioned - use common-sense and just undo them as needed leaving the hardware in place where possible - nearly all hoses/vacuum lines etc are a different diameter or have a differet clamp type so you should be able to avoid mixing them up on re-installation.

What I did and suggest is you mark everything you disconnent with tape or take a digital pic and/or record on paper each step and thing you do and later retrace. Its not a hard job and first time mat take about an hour to undo and same to replace.

Try not to damage any hoses etc as I don't know if yoiu can easily get replacement ones - and many hose and vacuum line clips are the pressure type and you may want to substitute screw type ones instead.

Also his MOTOR HAD NO STRUT BRACE in place when he did his coils but I found you can remove the manifold etc leaving the strut brace in place - seems untrue but try it by swinging the parts around carefully you can do it . In fact my strut brace bolts were so tight I could not undo some so had to leave it in place.

Also drain the hoses with collant in them well so you dont get water into the spark plug area and try not to lose any bolts clips etc in engine bay as its nearly impossible to find and retrieve anything, and the head is alloy so do not overtighten and strip threads when pulling or replacing plugs - DO PLUGS AT SAME TIME AS NEW CILS UNLESS THEY ARE NEAR NEW - you do not want to repeat the work.

Finally, you will have sore back muscles for several days!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But will still feel good. I REPEAT ITS NOT A HARD JOB AND YOU DO NOT NEED SPECIAL TOOLS.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The nature of my commute has changed. Way back then it was traffic lights all the way, for ~28km. It sucked. When they finally stitched the expressway together I can do a good 15+km of it at a steady 80-100 with no stopping. That alone has gotten me down to flat 10s. Prior to that it was mid-high 10s. I can't remember the delta that I saw when I got the idle down. It was only ~150 rpm, because the idle speed was never terrible, but for the delta in consumption to be noticeable it would have had to have been at least 0.2-0.3 L/100km - which is not to be sneezed at when it comes for absolute free.

      If you're claiming the issues are not skyline specific, then either the USA is living in the 90s / early 2000s, OR you have the issue of "survivor bias". Which is you're mainly hearing and listening to those with terrible experiences, and haven't found the guys who have cars with good decent builds and no problems. It happens in AU too, that plenty of people keep having issues, and they keep going to the workshops that are known to be shit "because I read on the internet". Even worse, are those who keep posting on the internet as though they know for a fact what something is, when they've never touched/looked at said item in their life, and again are making assumptions, based on something they read, or because it's a certain way in other cars. It's even funnier when those same people debate the facts with the people who've lived and breathed this stuff for over 15 years. Example, I've had someone tell me you can't do something with a Skyline, because they read it on the internet, except I can tell they're wrong, as I did that exact thing back in 2008 with my Skyline.

      The funniest part I saw, was someone would bitch and moan on FB about something, Andy would be the one to respond, asking for more info, if he could contact them, what the engine setup is, what their config file was, and 95% of the responses were people just going "der! It doesn't work" and Andy going "What doesn't work?" And then going "The firmware!" And they'd go around in circles as no one could ever give information, and Haltech couldn't fault things on the bench, (especially when people wouldn't give any specifics).   Many moons ago, when Andy was back at e420c stage, he reached out to me, and asked me to test different plug and play looms for him (already had an e420c in the car on his V1 PNP loom). And he kept asking me, as I was competent enough to be able to give him some specific feedback on what was/wasn't working, how to replicate the faults etc, and work through things with him. Most people are terrible at answering the questions they're asked, or being able to provide quality feedback other than "it doesn't work".

      I say it often, none of this stuff is really Skyline-specific per se. But in general there's not a lot of people who actually know what they're doing. A lot of people charging like they do. Agile software development probably isn't the greatest idea for an engine controller.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Incidentally, I also put v3 of the tune on the car and did an oil change from 5w20 to 5w40 to see how it affected oil pressure in the mid to high end. I'm still happier with the thicker oil and will stick with it, but clearly the system is happy with 55psi even if I'm not! It's well within the service manual specs...but they are very open
