Okay people, i have stock r33 GTS-t S2, went to track day down at wakie and all went well. come home car was all good, a few days later the car started to idle rough, idling down to 500-400rpm, kept running though and hasn't stalled. When i pressed the accelorator car was fine, didn't miss had good power still. I changed the plugs which looked like shit and thought maybe that was the problem but no, idle still rough. I have noticed that when i change gear sometimes or back off sometimes i get popping in the exhaust. Never run the car below just under quarter of a tank of fuel and always premium at worst. Actually since trackday only run BP ultimate. Car isn't running hot or anything just rough idle. I did turn the idle up a smidge and seemed to fix it but it has come back. i don't think turning the idle up is my answer.

It doesn't seem to be running lean as fuel usage is about right.

Only mods i have are, dump pipe and 3inch exhuast and pod filter, i do have a dual stage boost controller installed but its set on stock 8psi when i'm on the street, when i'm at the track i'll turn it up to 10psi but at wakie it played up and overboosted so left it on 8psi.

Any suggestions??

Maybe fuel filter, pump maybe, even a leak?? Don't know, thats why i'm asking you.

Cheers Adam.

haha ok .. TPS is easy with a 6mm socket .. its the throttle position sensor, on the throttle body -- may be a bandaid fix though

AAC - auxilery Air control (idle control).. big DIY on how to clean them on here..

Thanks Chris, i'll be doing this tomorrow. :yes:

Okay cleaned my ACC but noticed i had a leak in a small hose just above the ACC valve after i cleaned and replaced it, don't know if i broke it while i was fiddling with the ACC or not, but fixed it. As for the main problem being fixed i don't know, on the sticker under the bonnet it says to set the idle at 650rpm, so i did and it seems to hold idle now but occasionally it 'misses' i don't think it is missing but i don't know how else to describe it. Might be time to get a tune from a shop.

Anyway thanks for those who responded, i did actually learn somethings about my car. I will post when/if i find out what/is my problem.

Cheers, Adam.

Chris thanks mate, i owe you :D

Okay it seems to be all good now, nice and steady idle. If it was the hose that was broken before or if the ACC valve needed cleaning i don't exactly know which was the problem but both have been done and now she idles like a kitten. :P

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov

      That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.

      Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
