hey guys

got my 32 about 2 months ago and been ironing out a few problems it had

since fixing other things i have noticed that i have:

an injector that has a small leak and is dripping small amounts of fuel onto the inlet runner (cant see it dripping but can see a small pool of fuel sitting under the injector and smell the fuel

and

after you go for a spirited drive its not a fan of a steady idle, yes i have cleaned the aac a couple of times now and i thought it was gone (had timing problems including a broken cas bracket :P which is now fixed). Its a strange problem as the car runs fine all the time now but after i went for a burn yesterday and i pulled over to change the timing and let it idle which started becoming more and more erratic (low revs then high revs then lower then higher) and it eventualy went so low that it stalled itself. i adjusted the timing and drove home. when i got back i let it cool for a while and it started doing the same thing. 1 thing to note that i was rumaging around and found the cold start valve was completely blocked off and unblocked it (cold start has been working perfectly ever since)

1 last thing

its got an rb25 turbo on it which usually runs ~10psi but i noticed that in 3rd at ~6k rpm it was getting on for 13psi, could the thin walled silicone hose that goes from the hot pipe to the actuator cause this (expanding under pressure maybe)?

many thanks if anyone can shed some light on anything as its starting to get a bit annoying

Tom

    • Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.
    • I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
    • Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?
    • Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.
    • Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.
