hey guys and girls,

i am having a few problems with my rb20det.

first off i recently been haing problems with it starting when hot. say i come off the highway, get home, let in wind down and turn it off. when i come back 5 mins later it just cranks over and over and wont start, sometimes if you pump it, it will start then die again. i dont know what it could be, i checked the spark plugs, coil packs, and air flow meter. they all seem to be fine (tried them on another car to confirm).

anyone know what it could be?

second,

this might be causing my first problem though i am not sure,

i seem to be getting alot of oil in my catch can. i mean alot, i almost filled the thing in one day.

what would cause this? i have been told rb's are known for doing this, but i didnt think it was that much oil.

any help would be awesome

thanks roger

there i helped people read it.

yeah my spelling and typing isnt the best...i'll try to keep decent..

umm all i have done in mods is front mount and fuel pump..

i did do a search and it came up wif.. to check plugs / coild packs and afm for not starting...

and if my rings wear gone wouldnt throw lots of wite / blue smoke out the zorst.?

cheers roger

Edited by regor

a compression test wont be nearly as useful as a leak down test - get both done and then you will know, but when my old CA18 started filling up the catch can and FMIC pipes i knew the rings were gone

rb20 motor is cheap as chips anyway ~ 1k

    • Getting Dangerously close to being ready to go back in the car. Rockers in with clearance castings now (and a quick check with the USA for the torque settings for the larger custom bolts) Covers and ported FAST Manifold sitting on there. Not fully tightened down as there's some clearancing required for the water pump with the earlier LS1 water pump styles. Example of the clearancing needing to be done: The body has to be ground a little but I'm struggling finding an actual piece of it. The later variant of water pump resolves the issue as the manifold was designed around it. It only came on the VZ LS1 in Australia, it got a different pulley for Gen4 motors. (it also costs $450... vs... $0).

    • Doing some height adjustment on front suspension on a v35 and noticed this. The passenger side looks correct. So wondering what's happened to the drivers side?
    • Oh...I have the electric mirrors as well iirc ...they're in the same state as just about every other R31 door mirrors, with the 3 plastic screw towers broken/cracked in the plastic molding. All the interior is 'dry', so the mirror switches etc likely all work fine. Some pics below of the trimmer pieces ~ looks to me like previous owner, painted chrome finished trims with black paint ...ergo, the chrome underneath is likely a-ok... ...starts to look yukky posting stuff like this, how much did it cost in fuel on your last sortie up this way?...me just thinking aloud, borrow someone else's 4cyl to cut costs, come do your own pick'n'pull like before to save me some bother...hehe.. but whatever, I'll just earmark bits I know you want, because the way this is all panning out, I'll be able to retire the R31 from daily duty at long last, replacing it with a Subaru wagon I'm lining up in the wings...ergo, my attitude towards the donor pinny shell is starting to wane a bit, and I'm more than happy to help you out there... Like you say though, no rush...and I'll guarantee we won't be moving too far from this locale at any rate 😎
    • Cool, I’m just down Sydney today. Not much time to get online.
