Just finished rebuilding my RB20 with GTR cams & injectors, 044, Z32 AFM, chipped ECU.

Put the engine in on Monday, (AFM connected to TB) went to start it, would fire a couple of times then die. I thought it was something wrong when i modified the wiring for the GTR injectors, stuffed aroung with them for 2 days. I found my std chip for my ECU, put it in, fired up staight away but wouldn't hardly run under 2000rpm (same prob as BBenny had), and wouldn't hold a steady throttle position.

It was blowing a lot of black smoke (richness). pulled off the hose for my BOV (to lean it out a bit), less smoke, revved smoothly & OMG it even idled.

I still blows a bit of smoke so still a bit too rich, but good enough to get the car to your nearest tuning station.

Just thought i would share that experience that a Z32 AFM & GTR cams & injectors will work until u get it tuned properly.

Haven't checked timing or anything else as i have to pack to go to Brisvegas this weekend for a wedding.

good luck ahh32. i look forward to hearing your results.

since then i went back to std cams with adj pulleys and the pulleys alone made a big difference, today i fitted a pre-tuned chip and my car feels like a damn rocket!

so i imagine yours is going to be awesome!

Yeah, i agree with joel, when it runs rich the extra fuel can wash the oil off the bores, not good at all for running an engine in. I would put the stock pump, injectors and ECU back in just to run it in, then upgrade. Hate to see a new motor fkd.

this post is kinda dated .... so i would imagine going from that quote he would of got it all sorted in quick time ..

howzaboutanupdate

also .. im wondering with the cams in .. did u have to reset your valve lash .. if so .. to what thou?

thanks

first off i have not driven my car over 5km/hr yet,

second, it wouldn't start the other day, igniter ****ed.

Joel- i am well aware of that fact which is why i am trailering it to a dyno and tune. all free

R31- R33 injectors, R32 cams

Angry- yes, it took mw 2 weeks finding out the prob with my car, making my front pipe, modifying FMIC piping, re-trimming interior. etc.

RB20's run hydaulic lifters not solids like GTR's so no adjustement.

I may update this thread next week after i get my igniter & car tuned

    • Looking at finally painting and installing my R32 GTR wing I bought back in 2018. I got two quotes: Quote 1: $880 includes: wing, spare boot, holes welded up prep/paint. Pro: full boot with wing AND hole-less boot with lip i can swap between Con: $$  Quote 2: $330 wing only. Pro: cheaper Con: lose my (relatively) rare no holes sedan boot Also to consider I do plan on painting my whole car at some point "soon" (been saying that since 2018) Anyway Enjoy these All Japan Day 2025 pictures of my 4 door, still rocking the Calsonic Livery! Rolling in Interior shot Matching Peer Pressure Racing overalls are pretty cute ngl. This year was a hard 1990 cut so I got to be over with all the older cool stuff Next to arguably the best car there. A mighty S-Cargo
    • I personally would run 2x from the cam covers into the catch can, 1x sump vent to catch can (would mount this at a low point of the catch can, so it can also act as a drain). I would see if you can run a -12AN down there to improve venting and also draining. The head drain thing, just drain that back to the sump on the other side. Catch can to be vented, unless you plumb or back to the intake.
    • Yeah the head "drain" is rather a sump/crank case vent. My catch can stopped filling up after venting the sump to the catch can. I have 4x fittings in mine, which is about 5Ls. 2x cam, 1x sump vent/catch can drain, 1x fitting back to the intake and a massive breather which can be blocked so it's a fully sealed system.
    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
