Hi all, Just after any type of advice. Ive read topic after topic on different issues and while each topic addresses individual problems my skyline seems to have them all...its just a RB25 non turbo automatic with an exhaust.

symptoms are

Startup is a major issue, If it fires up after the pump primes it usually stalls within 10 seconds of idle

When it stalls after startup it takes about 10 tries to get the engine to start. it will crank but not turn over.

randomly on driving and coming to a stop the engine will just stall instantly.

randomly while driving at any speed or engine load it will just freeze the revs and the engine will start stalling, sometimes it will come good other times it will stall.

at exactly 3500 RPM it shudders or misfires as the RPM Climbs to 4000 and then its fine again

Sometimes the RPM will hit a limiter at 2500-3000 RPM until the car is restarted.

I have run diagnostics on the computer and it came with error codes 12 & 21

I checked the MAF sensor and found that the previous owner had hot wired the 5 pin 4 wire plug to a 3 pin MAF. I bought the proper unit for the car and cleaned it thoroughly with Air Flow Sensor cleaner and installed it, i have since cleared the error codes and now I get no error codes at all.

I have run the engine in the dark and noticed that every coil pack is flashing slightly, sometimes when the coil clicks the engine will misfire other times it does't misfire at all.

I have removed and cleaned both the AAC and the Cold start valve and checked both to make sure they're working properly. I have checked the resistance on all of the coil packs and the all show a solid 0.9 resistance...the car only runs premium petrol.

i have reset the computer, reset the idle, cleaned the throttle body.

I am completely stuck on where to look next, is it normal for the coil packs to flash ? can i check anything else ? Ive run down guide after guide trying to fix this issue. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

thanks

    • Hi all, I’ve just finished fitting the timing belt on my RB25, following the standard procedure: rotate the crank twice, release the tensioner, then tighten it down. The belt feels tight, and you can see that clearly in the picture below I’ve heard some people say it’s actually better for the belt to be slightly loose rather than too tight, as excessive tension can lead to snapping. So that’s in the back of my mind. What I’m seeing is this:  • At idle, the belt looks fine.  • But when cranking and especially when revving (around 3–4,000 RPM), there’s a momentary flap/flex or flicker in the belt, which I’ve tried to capture in the video. So my question is — based on what you see, is this slight belt movement something you’d consider normal, or am I just being OCD? Could this amount of movement cause sync issues? Or is it just a harmless bit of flex under load?   from what I know belt flap and flex is expected when crank spins up and pull cam with it Would appreciate any thoughts or similar experiences.     IMG_7656.mov IMG_7657.mov
    • I've replaced the front brakes of my NA to 324 brembos and 350z calipers: i'm going for 225/40-18 up front and 245/35-18 in the back. I have Rays 7.5*19 ET35(225/35) in the front with 5mm spacers otherwise the calipers "lock up/ won't rotate". When i use the calculator i come up with 8*18 ET30 for 225/40...... but not sure i get problems with the calipers. Anyone riding around with 18 inch. that can confirm "that it'll fit"? In the back it's 7.5*9 ET30 (245/30) with the 5mm spacers, but there is no problem with the standard small brakes, so i want to take 8.5*18 ET25 (245/35).
    • Lol.. but then.. always come back to a JDM..
    • Glad to hear. If possible, get your tuner to check air's to make sure everything is still where it should be.
    • The problem with FB/Insta/Reddit etc comments relating to cars is simple. You get to ask a question once, and get one round of replies. For things that can actually be answered in a few lines of text, once, it's fine. After 6 hours, your original question is lost to the void. There are no follow ups, additional questions, anything. No project car is ever such a simple list of questions to ask. You need discussion.
