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.

take the AAC off and clean as well Adam ..

other option is the TPS might need a little adjustment

:yes: WTF???

Okay sorry should of mentioned i have cleaned the AFM friday before trackday, so two weeks ago today. Chris what is AAC and TPS, and how do i clean them.

Okay Chris don't answer that i'll do a search mate, might pick your brain later though if this don't work, maybe even have a look at it for me??? be much appreciated.

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

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
