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

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
