hey guys I am wondering if you can help me. My rb20 is ****tering alot on idle and low revs at light throttle under 3k revs, the tone of the engine also sounds different and there seems to be a lose of power (maybe in safty mode). I have always had the cold start stammer which goes away but this is different. I took it for a run up the freeway which seemed to cure it untill the next cold start so I dont think its a coil pack, and the plugs were changed about 4k km ago (iridium .8mm). I took the CAS off a little while ago and cleaned the contacts which cured both but then its come back worse so I am thinking it could be the CAS gone. Will check my TPS as well from memory 0.5mv idle and WOT 5mv.

My AFM is clean as so should be that.

Anyone got any suggestions???

I did get the CAS code on my ecu a while ago and will check it again. could this be causing the problem.

CHeers guys

Ok looks as though I have stuffed knock sensors, I got the 34 code and then I reset my ecu, started it again and got 34 code again, check both knock sensors both seem to be plugged in and wires attatched, could this be causeing my missfire problems?????

spose it would retard my timing if they were both stuffed causing the misfire what do you recon, anyone ever replaced them, they are a pain to get to so replaceing them would be a killer. what do they cost???

anyone?????

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
