Nissan Skyline Troubleshooting

Are you having difficulty finding the cause of your Nissan Skyline starting or running problems? Do you want a second opinion to confirm what you think may be wrong? The knowledge and experience of trained professionals will give you the assistance and answers you need. Asking verified mechanical Experts for the recommendations and guidance will provide you with the help you require to overcome the problems you face.

Given below are some questions answered by Experts.

Why is it that after the clutch and flywheel were changed on a Nissan Skyline R33 the clutch will intermittently not engage?

The intermittent nature of the problem points to air being present in the lines. This could be because the system was not properly bled when the clutch work was done. Bleeding the master and slave cylinders should fix the problem. If it returns after the bleed, check both the cylinders for leaks and replace if any are found.

What could cause the power windows in a 2007 Nissan Skyline V6 Coupe to go down when the doors are opened after a battery change?

After a battery change, the windows need to be reset to function properly. To do this:

• Get in the vehicle and close the doors.
• Lower both the front windows.
• Raise the driver’s side window all the way up, without letting go of the switch.
• Once it is fully up, do not let go of the switch. Continue to hold it for another 5 seconds and then release it.
• The windows should now function correctly.
• Repeat the procedure for the passenger side window.

What could cause a flat spot in the acceleration on a 2000 Nissan Skyline R34 non turbo 4 Speed with Auto/Tiptronic transmission and what is the repair?

Case Details: The problem occurs at different speeds in different gears but in each case the vehicle accelerates, hesitates for a second and then continues to accelerate. No warning lights are on.

This looks like a problem caused by an air leak after the airflow meter. Any air dragged in here is not “seen” by the ECU and so is not compensated for. The result is that the engine runs lean and will intermittently hesitate, especially under hard acceleration. Since it is a mechanical fault, it will not cause a warning light to illuminate. Check the hose clips for tightness and examine the trunking for any cracks or splits. Also, check the small bore pipes for cracks or missing parts. Small leaks are often difficult to spot. A good way of locating the leak is to have the engine running at normal operating temperature. Spray lighter gas or propane around each joint, one at a time. When spraying a joint causes the engine revs to jump, that is where the leak is. A flattened piece of brake pipe and some rubber hose can be used to create a wand that will make spraying hard to reach places easier. If no leaks are found, have the fuel pressure checked to see if a faulty regulator, clogged filter or weak pump is restricting the fuel flow to the engine. Also clean the throttle body with brake cleaner and check the wiring and connectors to the air flow meter as these could be contributing to the problem. Replacing any faulty pipes, wires or components should fix the issue.

How is the fuel flap on a 2003 Nissan skyline 350 GT opened?

There should be a small fuel flap release lever down by the driver’s door sill, by the side of the seat. The lever will have the image of a fuel pump on it. Pulling the lever will open the flap.

Can a 2003 Nissan Skyline V45 350 GT (Japanese import) be converted to run on LPG?

Case Details: Some sources say that engines without hardened valve seats will be damaged by using LPG.

There should be no problem on running this vehicle on LPG. The engine has hardened valve seats.

Why does a 2003 Nissan Skyline go to a hesitant idle when started hot and often die out after a few seconds unless the accelerator pedal is pumped?

Case Details: After the engine smoothens out, it runs fine until the next hot start.

The problem could be that of a dirty and sticking throttle body. Clean with by spraying brake cleaner and wiping it with a rag. If this does not help, have the throttle position sensor checked with a scan tool to see if it is malfunctioning. If so, replace it. While doing this also check the mass air flow sensor as a fault here could contribute to the problem.

Could a defective relay be the reason that a new power window switch in a 1996 Nissan Skyline GT is still not able to operate the window?

Presumably the original cause of the window not moving was the switch. That being the case, the relay should not be the issue as if it was, there would have been no power to the switch, which would have been noticed before the replacement was done. However, there is no harm in checking the relay. If it is okay, check for power at the switch. If there is no power, check that the new switch was connected properly. If there is power at the switch, check for power at the window motor. If there is none, check the wiring and connector for damage. If there is power, then the motor is defective and will need to be replaced.
