Hi all

new to the forums and owning a skyline(first one)

i had an issue the second day of ownership :angry: was very unhappy jan,

but it turned out to be that the previous owner had decided to use carby fuel hose from the pump to the top of the fuel tank instead of using proper efi hose

and it burst in the tank, had that fixed and now when i am at WOT i feel a bit of surging (the car is manual(converted)) and is running 12-13 psi of boost (bought like this)

std intercooler car came with a exhaust haven't had time to measure or check brand

i am going to try turning down boost before exhaust wheel shits its self but wondering if any one had any other ideas as to what could be causing this

regards

describe your surging? I think you're mistaking it with R&R.. the car just hits a brick wall and comes back to life and hits another brick wall...

Too much boost buddy for the stock ECU, it just falls into the wrong cells and bam massive timing pull. I even get that at 0.8bar on cold nights, I just run 0.7bar all day

are you sure it is a stock turbo? could it be something else eg a 2876?

stock turbo would be snapped in half before it could reach its surging limit. might've been afm dirty or miss firing.

The type of surging ive heard is not mistakable, has a distinct sound, take the intake pipe off to see if the compressor wheel has left a grove in the cover, my brothers skyline turned out to have a gt2876, it has a line carve out of the compressor cover.

Maybe inspect the fuel tank for debris and change fuel filter a few times.

cheers all for the reply's

i have dialled it back to 10 psi and it has improved but is still there.

When hot the vehicle hesitates/surges i have tried 98 and 100 ron fuel

i thought it might be a battery problem so i replaced to no avail

will pick some contact cleaner for the maf and a fuel filter as well as some sparks tonight

mods: sh*$y drift boost controller, stock BOV, stock intercooler, pod filter

PS: the vehicle smells very rich after snapping the throttle open

cheers all,

i have cleaned maf sensor with ecc it improved the issue a little but it is still there.

any 1 have any ideas on how to free the stuck rubber hose on the fuel filter (tried bottle nose pliers but don't want to munch the fuel hose) it looks as if it has been on there a while

i also have injector cleaner but dont want to use it till i have a fresh fuel filter in there.

have found the issue is evident in low gears under accel (any) once in 4th-5th at 80km/h-100km/h it will pull fine

ps. what does RnR stand for?

regards

i wasn't looking for an explanation.

i was wondering what does the Acronym mean... so i could do some research on it

5th hit, and that's using the less common RnR version rather than R&R.

Cut it off and replace it.

Yeah, my point was given that you had been told it was R&R, you could have googled it for yourself in less time than it took to ask. I'm just trying to discourage the spoonfeeding mentality on forums.

why isnt that what we are here for? to offer help, support and advice to people that dont know very much.

god knows what you did before google my friend.

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • 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
