Hey..

I have had this porblem with my car ever since i bought it....was blind to it even having a porblem untill i got into a mates r33 skyline... but anyway.. i own an 1990 s13 with a series 2 rb25 in it..... i know now that it lacks alot of power for what it is.... an im sick of it... i have been in friends cars with the exact same mods an they are unbelivably faster than what my car is....

i have put a bigger fuel pump in it since i bought it because it was still running a non turb'd ca18 pump when i got it.... made some difference.. i fixed several boost leaks... broken exhaust studs.... coilpacks.. sparkplugs.....i have checked everythin i know of.. an i have spent hours on the net looking for solutions...

the easiest way to explain what it does...

you can take off an it will hit boost an u can here it spool but it just wont move untill like 4500...5000 rpm.. if not later....its very rough.. there is no smooth build up to boost or anything... it just makes alot off spool. an then at the last bit of revs left in the gauge it takes off an then u have to change...

please any info would be greatly appreciated...

thanks

so i was fiddling around today... an decided i would move what i think is the cam angle sensor?? the sensor up top which is bolted to front of motor with three bolts... i loosened them off an moved it around an it actually made it run abit better... any ideas. also is there a crnak angle sensor and a cam angle sensor on a series 2 rb25det?

thanks

that sensor that you played around with is the crank angle sensor turning it clockwise advances the gears and anticlockwise it retards it,its just made to adjust the idle

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      Think I found another reason to buy the Q50 rather than the skyline import, seems that unless you get the 400r the other models such as the GT miss out on the decent brakes and don't have the flappy paddles on the steering wheel to change gears. Its my day off work today and the Q50 listed @ the dealer in Brisbane that I mentioned in my 1st post looks like it sold as its listed as no longer available... Would have checked it out but can understand why it sold as it was a bargain price.

      omfg.... That shopping list game. I'd hoped I'd never see it again.

      There are fixes for this. In industry we use compressed air for everything. It is frequently wet, and many things cannot tolerate it. So there are various forms of driers available that you can install. The simplest option for something like this would be a dessicant drier. Much cheaper to replace some silica gel than actuator cylinders.

      That's a solid update mate, well done at WA FOS. You may already know this, but the actuators on the paddle shift are a service item and are sadly not that reliable. As I understand it they collect water from the compressor (condensation) which then rusts the bores/pistons in the actuators. A mate of mine had no end of trouble with them in one if his circuit cars, apparently it's a 'known issue'. Buy a couple of spares at great expense to ensure you never have any problems with the ones you've got! Any clues about what the new WTAC rules might be? While faster cars are cool the Pro class arms race has got to the point where you wouldn't even bother entering without a $1m budget and even then I don't think you'd win.

      Question about R34 GTT A/T Solenoids

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      https://nissan.epc-data.com/skyline/er34/3945-rb25det/trans/317/31940N/ The pictures of the part you're talking about is clearly not just one solenoid. You can see another picture of it here: https://www.alltranz.com.au/shop/drivetrain/automatic-transmission/RE5R01A/product/9305/ The 4 speed automatic in the GTT is Nissan corporate stuff. You can search up similar jobs done on a Frontier or Pathfinder with a RE4R01B to get an idea for what the internals are going to look like and the procedure like this:
