looks so hectic mat! dont think mine will look that professional hah.

will still be good though :)

Haha thanks man! Only started so far! More to come... Compressor and airlines to go and possibly some A/C haha

AC is needed in mine...

its like an oven in the arvo.. so bad haha.

Yeah i am not sure if the cable to the shed is big enough to support it yet but a mate is a guru and is sussing it out for me :D We also need to hook up the pump to the 5000L water tank on the side of the shed that is just sitting there not being used!

Guys I need some help! The first time I drive my skyline at night and I've copped a defect :( they have written:

-uncovered pod

-height

-exhaust

-e85 fuel system

-modifications without an engineer cert

Firstly i don't even have an e85 system, I just have a surge tank and 044 in the boot, will this pass simply because it's not what they have written?

I have a airbox to replace the pod, and I have a new quieter exhaust solution that is waiting to be welded in.

Will it need engineers to pass? Or just fix airbox, exhaust and height? Anyone know what will happen with the fuel system? If anyone has stock 33 springs I can borrow it'll be amazing too. Pls help a brother out :( very devod

how much was the fine??

I believe any mechanic that does blue slips can pass you? so change it back and youll be fine? as for the fuel... just hope you got a good mechanic?

did you get an epa?

A very nice bloke named Adam Foster is helping me out. The cop didnt fine me, he was a nice man just doing his job I guess. Adams put on a standard airbox, legal exhaust and stock height springs that he has borrowed. The surge tank and fuel pump are removed so hopefully thats enough, I dont believe I got an EPA as that wasnt written on the defect notice.

Glad to hear he helped you out mate :thumbsup:

Okay I need some advice on what could be wrong with my car

It has a misfire that is getting worse and need to get it sorted

Started out only doing it when hot and would drive along fine until it missed ( sounded like the traction control working) and would come up with the check eng light on the dash

Has gotten to the point now that it will miss or just feel slow all the time but the check eng light doesn't always come on

I'm thinking plugs or coil packs but want to know for sure before spending money needlessly

Any ideas

Or anyone got some spare NEO coil packs I can try?

Coil packs are notorious for failing in our cars man! I did my factory set at around 120000km from memory... The splitfires have been good since then!

If you need to borrow some to diagnose mine are pretty easy to get out... Car should be back at my place over Xmas i hope!

I had a missfire since at high boost but that was the coil plug loom that failed due to excessive heat (Plugs went all brittle and fell apart) so check that at the same time.

yep if you need a locomotive that needs fixing im the guy to call hahaha.

yeah but the kits are lean toos, not free standing. so gotta wait till lysaghts open on the 6th before I can sort anything.

pretty annoying

    • For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...
    • I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it. 
    • MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.
    • Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
