i suggest

- getting a service including spark plugs and fuel filter

- clean the AFM

do a serach for more info on the above

damn, bet me to pretty much exactly what i was gonna post. lol

but yeah, what he said ^^

Hey Warren, Thanks, it's a completly stock turbo.

Idles at 1k when i first start it then drops to 600, then keeps going up and down for a minute then sits on 600. (no aircon or any electrics on)

Just took it for a drive, when i stop, then go to take off it allmost stalls. RPM needle drops out then boots back in and jolts the car... not smooth at all :O im kinda worried.

It had a oil change before i picked it up with new oil filter, and i filled her up with Vortex fuel.

Apparently the guy put Penright? oil in it he mentioned 15, and its semi synthetic as full synthetic lowers compression?... or so he says.

Anyway ill try a fuel filter and new spark plugs.

Cheers

Sounds like it could be an AFM issue.

Almost every R33 auto driver has heard of or personally encountered your problem.

I had the problem too and it stopped after I had the car tuned with a SAFC2.

hey mate

do you have the stock blow-off valve or an aftermarket one?

i suggest

- find out about your bov type, this may be the problem...

- adjust your throttle position sensor (TPS) - do a search for this info

- turn the idle up to about 800rpm when warm - there's a screw on the back of the intake manifold near the master cylinder... turn that to adjust idle. do a search again for more info

cheers,

Warren

    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
