 Hi ther all friends and foes, i have recently had huge problems with my RB25det S2 (auto) , wher the car is running fine when cold, when it starts getting up to temp its starts to mess up, somtimes at 3000 somtimes at 4000, and when its warm up its ok agen. At one od the videos below, i have full throtle, car struggels and dosent do anything, then hits 4000rpm and it launches.

Btw. Dont mind the temp gauge, belive the sensor for the gauge is messed up so it lives it own life

Ther is no air leaks, no vacume leaks, coils are new, plugs are new, tried replacing maf 2 times.

When MAF is disconekted the engien wil stop.

Alsow from what i can finde online, the tps is supose to have 5v (i have around 4.5) when fully open, and betwen 0.3-0.5 when closed (alot of wierd answers on the internett)

 

Stuff that have recently been done:

- Adjusted timing to 15° (pulled TPS and Brown idle controll valve stick)

- New coils

- New plugs

 

"Mods"

-3" exhaust from turbo and back

- pod filter

Disconnect the water temp sensor that goes to the ecu (the one with 2 terminals) when you turn the car off. Start again when the car is cold (overnight ideally).. If your car runs better (ecu has a standby map) then you need to replace that sensor.

Put OEM coil packs in or Splitfires and see if it goes away.

I won't go into detail about those coloured coil packs, but just do a few searches.

It's not hate, it's fact. Look at them all you want but don't assume they are actually working properly!

2 years no job is a solid effort

You shouldn't have stopped the car. If you unplug the sensor the ecu has a default map which has no relation to actual engine temps which will take it through until normal operating temps. By stopping the car you reset the ecu to cold start whereas the engine was no longer cold. I suggest you get a new temp sensor (the one with 2 terminals) - they are only about $30 from an auto electrician.

And there is no way you can tell if your yellow jackets are any good by looking at them. Try gapping your plugs down to 0.8mm or even .6mm

Cant leave the car running when u have to get the kid from kindergarden, somone migtj be jelly.

 

Out ther on the webs, when u just search For stuff about the yellow jacket ther ar eppl talking about craks, bad this bad thst so ther are indecators on the coils beeing bad, but are gonna pur the oem back in, not thst i think ther wil be any diffrence

Yellow jackets suck. You don't need to see cracks to realise that when you have experienced it yourself. They can look perfect and not work properly. How they are still around I have no idea.

 

Also just curious how are you managing to spell so badly ? Doesn't your phone do autocorrect? Makes it pretty hard to read.

    • Well, if it wasn't a GTR I'd say that killing an RB is a perfect opportunity to put in a proper engine. In your case, proximity to Brabus and AMG V12s would be a no brainer for any RWD Skyline engine death event. In my case, because my car is my daily, anything that I do wrong that means I have to do it again is both an absolute pain in the arse (simply having to do it again), and also a doubling of the pain associated with having the car off the road to work on it. I would class a botched head gasket install as not being "engine death causing". More a case of "f**k it's still leaking!"
    • Yeah, this is more stuff like transmission/clutch R&R. Intake manifold R&R. It's not super complicated, but each step matters and you need to be careful and patient. I have heard stories for example of people not figuring out the super coppermix twin plate orientation and getting it wrong on assembly. Removing a cylinder head and putting it back in once it's machined isn't that hard, following torque sequence to install some cams isn't that hard either, but somehow I've seen a lot go wrong between here and there. Scraping off all gasket material isn't that hard either, but I've seen shops ruin heads by using a roloc disk that was too aggressive.
    • There is some shops in Germany that have quite a bit of experience with JDM performance 4-wheelers. I think if it actually comes down to it I'd let one of them do the head gasket. Killing an RB26 is too expensive a risk just to save some money by doing it yourself.
    • There are certain tasks, like replacing head gaskets, where it is very much best to already know what you are doing, and if you are not already an expert, then the next best thing is to have an expert around to help it get done. Little annoying checks and steps that are easy to forget or not interpret the results of properly, etc etc. It is hard to convey that to someone as a lesson prior to taking on a job, because there can be a whole list of "if you see this then it means that", or "if this is what you find then you will need to do these other 4 steps first". All the little bits of knowledge around sealant choice (ie, sealant at all? or no sealant? sealant only in certain parts of the gasket? sealant for this type of gasket but not that type of gasket? etc etc) cleanliness checks and methods, surface straightness and finish checks and methods, etc etc, all combine to mean that people who have done many of the same type of job will struggle less to get a good result than someone who hasn't done it before. I've been around this stuff since forever. But I will still consult with my expert(s) before taking on the big stuff with higher risk profile.
    • Well if I end up having to do the head gasket I will certainly find the necessary tools and instructions before beginning... Let's hope it won't come around.   Definitely. Depends on the job but I think "if you want it done right, do it yourself" applies almost every time
