Hey Guys,

My car won't start (cranks but doesnt fire) and doesn't have anuy injector pulse. Was havin a chat to a mate who is an auto sparky, he said he had one that just needed a new air flow meter. Does anyone have a spare that I can use to test if that is the issue, I am south of the river and am off work monday to thursday and would like to get it sorted asap. Please PM me or call me on 0439955897.

Cheers,

Steve

Before you just go changing out everything..

Do you have the original ecu in there? Checked fault codes, or hooked consult up to it to see if it was happy?

yeh it has the standard ecu, how do u go about checking for fault codes as I've never done it before. Had a sparky take a look at it last night who checked the cas and resistor and confirmed they are both fine. Apparently I have injector pulse it's just very weak.

I have a consult cable that can be used to interogate the ecu..

I have noticed that skyline injector pulses are very weak, the 33 I had a look at recently wasn't happy in the same way, turned out to be an earthing propblem, same thing, been left for ages not used, went to start it and it wouldn't go.

Yeh sounds like that could be the problem, so do you hook the consult cable up to the ecu or something? Sorry mate I don't know much about it. Did it specify where the earthing issue had occurred? If you can give me an idea what I have to do would it be possible to borrow it off you? I'm fairly close by in leeming.

Consult cable, along with a laptop or computer close by with some software to talk to the ecu can let you read the fault codes, if there are any, and check to see what sensors are doing what. Won't give you some thing like, tighten this bolt 'ere then eh.. but should let you see if the airflow meters are ok and responding, rather than just swapping every part of the car until you happen to touch something that is the actual cause of the problem..

I meant to check the earthing on the motor yourself, as that was the cause of this other car not starting.

I might be convinced to drag the cable and laptop around, considering you live about 2 suburbs away it shouldn't be that much trouble, but am a little busy at the moment.

I will check out the earthing tomorrow, see if I can find anything... Yeh if you could head up when your free mate that would be greatly appreciated.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Looking for autoelectrician in Perth who can do the OEM to double din stereo upgrade.

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
