Is there a way to have a standard layout/thread for assisting members with issues/problems with their cars
Thought maybe a standardised layout may help most and not frustrate others as we are getting more of the same problems repeating.
I've provided 2 examples if anyone wants to add to or fix them

Location:
Model:
Year:
Engine:
Gearbox/trans:
ECU:
Intake Mods:
Hotside Mods:
Fuel System:

Issue/Problem:

What have you tried:

Example 1
Location: Townsville Australia (Country is a big one)
Model: Nissan Sil80
Year: 1993
Engine: RB25det
Gearbox/trans: 5 Speed
ECU: Link G4+ Xtreme
Intake Mods: FMIC, plazmaman intake, 74mm DBW
Hotside Mods: standard manifold, gt3076r, 45mm external gate
Fuel System: Walbro 460, nismo reg, 40 amp relay hard wired

Issue/Problem:
Car doesn't start or idle clean 

What have you tried:
checked fuel pressure- 300kpa
checked base timing & ecu offset- 15 degree base, 91 offset
New fuel filter
New spark plugs
Pressure test intercooler pipes-  held 600kpa

Example 2-
Location:  Melbourne, Australia
Model: R33 gtst s1
Year: 1995
Engine: rb25 det
Gearbox/trans: Auto
ECU: standard
Intake Mods: pod filter, fmic
Hotside Mods: 3 inch turbo back
Fuel System: walbro 255

Issue/Problem:
Car misfires when coming onto boost

What have you tried:
Inspected spark plugs- Black and fuely
Checked intercooler pipes- no leaks all clamps tight
Checked all Vacuum hose- no leaks or cracks
Cleaned MAF

 

It's a great idea. A lot of software forums etc have a requirement that you do something like that when requesting help.

Based on recent experience here, I would suggest that expectation of the posters is;

Problem: Waaaaaaaah.

What I have tried: Poking it with a stick.

Am I willing to listen to advice: No.

Can I keep poking it with a stick?

Return to Problem.

    • Interesting, I've heard complete opposite on my end. Bit of a lottery I guess.
    • Getting Dangerously close to being ready to go back in the car. Rockers in with clearance castings now (and a quick check with the USA for the torque settings for the larger custom bolts) Covers and ported FAST Manifold sitting on there. Not fully tightened down as there's some clearancing required for the water pump with the earlier LS1 water pump styles. Example of the clearancing needing to be done: The body has to be ground a little but I'm struggling finding an actual piece of it. The later variant of water pump resolves the issue as the manifold was designed around it. It only came on the VZ LS1 in Australia, it got a different pulley for Gen4 motors. (it also costs $450... vs... $0).

    • Doing some height adjustment on front suspension on a v35 and noticed this. The passenger side looks correct. So wondering what's happened to the drivers side?
    • Oh...I have the electric mirrors as well iirc ...they're in the same state as just about every other R31 door mirrors, with the 3 plastic screw towers broken/cracked in the plastic molding. All the interior is 'dry', so the mirror switches etc likely all work fine. Some pics below of the trimmer pieces ~ looks to me like previous owner, painted chrome finished trims with black paint ...ergo, the chrome underneath is likely a-ok... ...starts to look yukky posting stuff like this, how much did it cost in fuel on your last sortie up this way?...me just thinking aloud, borrow someone else's 4cyl to cut costs, come do your own pick'n'pull like before to save me some bother...hehe.. but whatever, I'll just earmark bits I know you want, because the way this is all panning out, I'll be able to retire the R31 from daily duty at long last, replacing it with a Subaru wagon I'm lining up in the wings...ergo, my attitude towards the donor pinny shell is starting to wane a bit, and I'm more than happy to help you out there... Like you say though, no rush...and I'll guarantee we won't be moving too far from this locale at any rate 😎
