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

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
