ok here's the story...

for quite a while, the car has been doing this weird miss at idle. very inconsistent and gets worse when the car gets warm. really weird in that it would seemingly go away when the car is put into gear :confused:

so then took the car to the dyno day and was quite annoyed to hear that the car was pinging on the dyno. many ideas were running through my head which i posted in the poll...

so went down to see my mate Prassana at Performance Jap Specialist (9357 0658) as he has an r32 half cut there. he let me drive my car up and change over anything i thought might be causing the problem, and hte deal was to jsut pay for what the fix was. good deal i though. i changed:

- coils (got one and swapped it with all of mine to see if it fixed the problem)

STILL MISSING :(

- afm

STILL MISSING :rofl:

- O2 sensor

STILL MISSING :rofl:

so feeling dejected, i went home and changed the spark pugs but it was STILL MISSING!

At this stage i suspected the fuel pump as it explained all my problems, but i also thought in the back of my mind that it could be a blocked cat. I was sure it wasn't the timing as when i had the GTR cams put in the timing would have to be re-done by my mechanic.

well on sunday, i washed my car and was armourall-ing the interior when dad comes into the garage and starts talking about the miss. we decide to check the timing.

already have the coil cover off (the plate that says nissan twin cam whatever) so plugged the timing light into cylinder 1 and started her up

THE TIMING WAS MASSIVELY OUT!

i think it was retarted (i had to turn the cas clockwise to bring it to 15deg btdc). would have been out about 10deg at least.

i was shocked.

so i adjusted it and took her for a drive down the street. WOW all the problems fixed. Wanted to give that timing light a ramming i was so happy :cheers:;)

if only it were fixed before the dyno day!

congratulations to the winners of "SAU VIC Armchair Tuners of the Year", 2004:

well hopefully that brought some extra entertainment into the VIC section for a few days...

cheers,

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
