Hey guys got an issue with the GTR i just purchased.

The idle isn't always very smooth.. yesterday when driving back from essendon airport (visited friend) the engine would hesitate then if you wouldnt keep pepping at the accelerator it would stall at low speed.. so then i would roll to a stop and turn it back on, but then again if i didnt keep the revs up it would stall again..

so i would leave it off for a few minutes, then turn it back on.. and the revs would bounce all around from 100-1200 hunting around.. then eventually it would maintain around the 1000revs, but wouldn't really sound right.

then again for no reason it would be fine again.. this all happens once the engine is fully warmed up.

but when its not having the idle issues or like hesitating when driving at less than 60kph then it wanting to stall.. it feels great, boosts strongly and is basically awesome.

im currently staying at my sisters place in brunswick and am planning on driving back to adelaide on tuesday. So if anyone who is in the know wants to check it out let me know :)

The Idle control valve is under the intake plenum (drivers side) it has 4 10mm bolts that hold it to the secondary air system and 1 hose that connects it to the bottom of the plenum. Remove all this then you can get it off and give it a clean. Good place to start anyhow.

Yeah all the best Deren.

Most Skylines have a 2 speed setup on the fuel pump. Just bypass that by running direct fused power to the pump through a relay, using the regular pump power to operate the relay. See if that fixes the problem.

To me it sounds more like a problem with one of the AFM's. The solder joints inside the AFM's deteriorate with age and with jiggling around whilst driving they can lose contact. This would explain why sometimes the car drives and boosts as per normal and other times, once the contact is no more, you get crappy idling and stalling and basically no drivability.

Theres a tutorial on how to fix GTR AFM's. Sometimes the plugs can be a little dicky also. I just had to replace the top AFM plug with a second hand rb20 one and it works a treat. I even had the AFM repaired and it was the crappy $5 plug.

good luck

      R34 power steering

      I have done smoke test and can’t see any leak on high or low side.   checked pump and fluid can flow through. Removed the high pressure from steering and did smoke test and same on low side, no leak.   puzzled. Thinking why if it was all ok it suddenly went as car was off road for a year. Don’t want to disassemble pump yet as i can see fluid / air( compressor) can flow through with no issues

      Actually,  just remembered there should be info in the threads (somewhere) about swapping to a manual steering rack and deleting power steering all together.

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open

      Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.
