Hey guy's and girls

Having a few probs with my ride and was wondering if any of you had some advice. I’m having a problem with my engine but i can’t seam to find the cause of it. If i drive the car for a bout 15 min she's fine or if I take it out on a cold night I can drive her for hours with not problems at all. but if I drive it during the day for any more than about 15min the idle of the rpms drop and it sound's like two cylinders have bummed out, the tone of the exhaust changes and the engine losses all its power. At first I thought it may have been something simple like spark plugs or fuel filter so I had them replaced with no success. I thought the engine might have been running rich, but if so when I pulled the old spark plugs out they shout have been black but they weren’t really black at all and still looked new. I want to take it some were to be looked at but don’t know who to trust. Evo look like the dodgiest guy's I’ve ever met and wouldn’t trust em as far as I could throw em, and fast and the furious don’t look that reputable ether. I live in narabahnda so if anyone knows what the prob is or can direct me to someone that could help would be much appreciated

Thanks

hey it might be vac hoses loose, intercooler pipes loose, 02 sensor, coil packs over heating, check out the where to get car serviced thread and i am sure you will find someone in there that can help, i would personal recommend Trojan and Integra

Have you checked the Ignitor.......a few have had probs so now it's just a running comment/joke.

;) On my GTS_T it was the ignitor at fault.

It affects the spark deliverd if faulty, particularly when warmed up.

Sounds similar but as pointed out it can be a multitude of things. Start with the least expensive remedy. Spray the AFM with some Carby Cleaner, Swap your ignitor with a known working one and try it out. Coils ? Same with most things use the process of elimination.

or see ED

yeah was me at wakefield,

AFM is your Air Flow Meter, your pod filter should bolt onto it, sometimes the "wet" type pod filters can cause the hot wire in the AFM to get dirty, which can affect the fuel, i doubt thats your problem, but its something to check anyway

well im still having probs at least i know its not the AFR, the coil packs, the ignitor, the plugs or the fuel filter. so some one at just jap said to try the cam angle sensor, so the cars booked in agen this week at integra. Ed said he wouldent chage me if i was still having problems after changing the igntor. but i did notice integra dont seam to have an ECU diagnostic machine? thought that was a bit weard

but i did notice integra dont seam to have an ECU diagnostic machine? thought that was a bit weard

They do, but as per 99.9% of other workshops in Australia, they dont work on JDM models. Most workshops buy ones that can diagnose locally manufactured cars (e.g. Commodores and Falcons), and theyre tailored to cars which were sold in Australia... the skyline is a JDM import :D

I do know that Ed was looking at a new one that I think could do JDM cars, otherwise swing past Nissan and ask them to plug in the Consult and take the results to Ed :D

    • LS is a good motor, but it hurts my soul when I see it in a RB. Guess it fixes the oiling issues lol.
    • I'm confused. Does this qualify as "Gregging" or are you somehow avoiding the Gregging?
    • More assembly going on, with all sorts of "bolt right on bro" scenarios going on here. Smartly, PTV clearance was checked. And I say smartly because it turns out that the intake was 0.009" from piston meeting valve. This is 0.23mm. This is very not okay. A fast meeting was facilitated between engine builder in Australia and engine builder in the USA which was actually incredibly helpful and constructive actually, various ideas thrown around to get around this issue including: 1) Retard the cam timing which would have brought the exhaust valve closer to meeting piston (it was 0.065") which was uncomfortably close to begin with, and change the cam profile making it 'laggier' 2) Much larger head gaskets which would reduce compression, but half the point of this was to increase compression. 3) New set of pistons ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) 4) All of the above 5) Get ghetto The concept is you get sticky sandpaper and stick it back to a valve, slightly larger than the valve you/I'm using, like say from a LS3/rectangle port head. You now have a very super advanced flycutting tool to modify your pistons in your block. Then you install it in your head, and attach the other end of the head to a drill. Then you just replicate your valve smashing into a piston with your spinning drill.   This is the result. Repeat many times. It is strongly recommended you have some kind of fixed stop when doing this for extremely obvious reasons because if you press too hard then you're well into apocalyptic repercussion land. The minimum clearance on the intake valve is now 0.075" this is still in the "Too close to be really comfortable" and into "It should be fine" land. Supposedly in the real world the clearances will be slightly bigger. Guess this is what happens when people push envelopes for N/A engines instead of adding boost! Time to move onto the new, upgraded, higher ratio roller rockers from Yellaterra, all tapped and threaded with a stronger bolt for better stability. Very nice. Lets see how they fit. For f**ks sake. Time to bring the grinder out for these aftermarket, machined and CNC'd heads. Looks like the new, beefier rocker from YellaTerra has gone from Bolt on part to "Bolt on part". Well, lets see how this bolt on crank scraper and windage tray goes then, shall we? There actually is more clearance than they specify for this thing, but seeing it all move as you check it is terrifying when you see it all so very very very very nearly hit things. But after all, this is what the item is designed to do after all and actually did bolt on perfectly and have enough clearance to everything and some very clear and direct instructions. So +1 to Improved Racing I suppose. As above with the windage tray on. Photo of breaker bar wonkiness for added lols. Next up: Oil pump/front cover/water pump/sump and then it's time to actually install the heads, pushrods, head bolts, valve cover gaskets and such is all there and ready to go. (except the oil pump bolts which were previously longer for more clearance with the previously perfectly installed double row timing chain). There's definitely a sense that someone other than us has been here before and done everything perfectly, or at least considered it and came up with working solutions. Perhaps the previous cam was 6deg advanced to avoid PTV issues with the milled stock heads? In any case when I attempt to sell this stuff the buyers are going to be very directly informed.
    • my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast
    • Yeah - the secret learned a long time ago is that the RB likes to belch oil out the covers, and/or starve the pump because it drowns the head in oil, because the upflow of crankcase gases from piston blowby comes up through the oil drain holes in the block and prevents the oil from flowing back down. The external vents from sump are about creating an alternative path/much more XS area for gas flow to decrease the gas velocity up through the oil drains and allow the oil to get back down. So, it's not about pressure at all. It is about flows - gas up and oil down - or when it's not working, gas up and oil not going where it is supposed to after it arrives at the top, except out through the cam cover vents. And regardless of whether the catch can is vented to air or vented to the turbo inlet, it must still be vented because a sealed system would blow out the crank seals, or something equally bad.
