Hi all fairly new to SAU, just got a few questions if anyone could help??? recently bought my 2nd R33 for 7K, it used to be a non turbo auto, but is now turbo manual... not sure weather the turbo just got slapped onto the N/A motor or if it's had a new engine, it's done 157,000kms and i've replaced plugs, oil, added a cooler and lowered the boost from 9psi on a bleed valve back to the standard 5-7psi solenoid... my main question is after a the car is fairly warm about an hour of driving it nearly has no oil pressure and when i get into it, it has a really bad misfire like it's detonating... any ideas or feedback would be much appreciated???

misfire and detonating is 2 different thing. Does it stutter or runs, idle badly when you put your foot down?

When you say low oil pressure, how low are we talking about? Oil pressure suppose to drop when the car is warm'd up. Does the warning light come on?

I would clean and check the AFM, coil pack 1st, then air leak. It could also be a air leak somwhere causing it to run rough. Really need more details m8, it could be a combination of a number of things.

    • Ahh got it. Well maybe install a drain for the catch can somewhere down low and accessible like a wheel well too....
    • Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf
    • I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf  
    • yeah I get ~0.6L per session into the catch can. very ethanoly. It ends up overflowing out the breather of the catch can on circuit days too even with a 2.3L capacity catch can and I only drain out ~0.6L max. So every session I have to come in and drain the catch can, which is a hassle. So this is me cracking the shits and doing everything I can without removing the motor (back of head sump drain/breather and oil restrictors off the table). plans short term are: full length splash plates remove oem cam cover baffle add foam and reinstall at -10 or -12 AN fittings to the side of the cam covers down to the sump (luckily I already have fittings in the sump) Yes the ~340,000km unopened motor is probably not helping things
    • I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.
