Hi Kaden, When I had this exact problem in my 33 I cleaned the IACV and adjusted the TPS. (I had already given her fresh plugs, serviced the air filter and cleaned the AFM etc to eliminate anything else) In the end I put some tape around the IACV screw and then adjusted accordingly and finally she retained her idle after a lot of perseverance.....hoping this may be of assistance. -jess

can you elaborate further as to why the idle screw is full of crap as it completely resolved my issue and i was having the exact same problem?! if he has cleaned the IACV thoroughly and the idle screw I don't see why it wouldn't have an air passage through it? My idle screw had too much air passing through and hence the thread tape is actually what alleviated the problem in the end. Apologies if I'm incorrect in my suggestion; but that is what worked for me

Nathan you mentioned - the idle screw on the IACV doesn't affect the idle what so ever. On my RB25DET, I've had to adjust the TPS & the idle screw on the IACV on several occassions to find the happy medium to stop my 33 from stalling. She would barely hold her idle at any point in time, especially on approach to lights (ultimately any time I put the clutch in I'd have to feather the throttle whilst braking to prevent her from stalling, even turning her over she would just stall unless i gave her revs). It took a lot of playing around if I'm honest given the sensitivity of the TPS & idle screw and the final result was putting thread tape around the idle screw on the IACV and then adjusting until she retained her idle. I only thought this may be relevant since you mentioned your idle screw on the IACV doesn't affect the idle.... hope it may be of some assistance as I essentially had the exact same issues for quite some time.

wouldn't want it back, the way they drove off was so appauling, didn't know how to drive the car to save their lives. took my other car keys too so I couldn't even go after them in my SS. I supose if I didn't wake up when I did they would have taken the SS too. Cannot believe my luck though, always sleep with the car keys, every bloody night! I had this bad feeling at 10pm, kept checking on the car for some reason, I hadn't put it in through my gates yet but something was telling me something was wrong so I went and put the car in straight away thinking there is no way someone is going to come through my gates and get passed my dog without getting seriously hurt but no, they drugged my guard dog. Full tank of my Petrol..... god they did some driving around Cannot believe the state they left her in. She was such a beautiful car. I'm so sorry for your loss mister ryan..... R.I.P "SKYRYAN"

SKYRYAN was stolen from South Perth at 3:33am on Saturday the 30th of July. Pushed the vehicle down the road, started it and tried to hoon off in the most shocking manner. Please if you see this vehicle, please take photos of the driver, the passenger, let us know where you saw it. If you're going in the same direction let us know any information you can! Thanks Heaps

this car is highly unlikely to ever get registered and if it were to you'd need to know someone that can provide updated permits for the mods and even then, unless you know someone thats on the pits i wouldn't waste my time. I've imported a skyline from Melbourne that had 250rwkw and that was hard enough as it was, once you start upgrading the turbo's they don't want you on the road. Don't recommend it mate, it will take a lot of time, a lot of money and in the end might get you no-where!

Yeah you might be able to get 7-8K for it but in this market at this time would have to be the worst to sell. Ask around 11K / 10K for it and see if you get any bites but I can't stress enough, if you don't have to sell it at this point in time, don't, this market is a buyers market not a sellers. Out of all the cars I've owned and sold, 3 of which were skylines I never lost a dime (made a profit on 2 of them) until my last one which I didn't even own for 6 months, should have been able to sell it easily for much more than I bought it for (as I got it for killer cheap) and then I managed to lose over 2K in it... shame I had to sell it at that time otherwise I would have held onto it until I got the real price it deserved!!! R33's held a really steady price for about 2 years and only in the last 6 - 8 months have they crashed down to next to nothing which is a real shame... yet the R34's are still holding a decent price!!! But I must say, you do have an advantage owning a non-turbo, there is always a few youngsters that are after a nice looking car that their parents don't mind them getting (without worrying about killing themselves with a turbo)!
