Hey I got a few questions for you guys. I just bought a 1989 GTS-t. It has aftermarket exhaust, intercooler, intake, bov, and tuned computer. The deal is it idles kinda rough and when you let off the gas after revving it up the RPMs drop way low like 450 or so, it almost stalls. Another thing is horrible, I mean awful performance. I tested it from 0-100km/h and it took 8.869secs!!! Not anywhere close to stock! I'm hoping that it needs a tune-up really bad. Maybe a fried spark plug or a bad ignition coil. Could one of these things cause the performance to be that bad?

your nearly stalling problem after revving it up is due to the BOV. the spring tension needs to be increased a bit, simple fix if your bov is adjustable. Sounds like you need to get a good tune

- theres no way you can be in japan?! why on earth would you need advice from australia?

And you no write broken englis.

check this thread:

curiously, changing to copper plugs gapped @8mm fixed my stalling problem - so it seems it could be any one of three issues

BOV, fuel pressure or in my experience, plugs !

must be difficult for you not speaking Nihongo...

Good Luck with it.

netrati,

have a look at this thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...s=&threadid=408 could also be the problem at low revs.

Plugs never hurt, esp as NGK coppers are about AUD$20 a set, clean your afm, change the fuel filter and reset the ecu - different car (hopefully) :)

I had dramas with the previous owner's adjustment on my Blitz BOV, a simple tweak and she was running sweet. But now that I've just plugged in the Power FC (yet to be tuned), yeah I get higher revs when first turning the car on (like 1400rpm), but it rarely comes back down to where it would ordinarily idle wehn warm on the stock computer (700rpm). And when decelerating coming up to a roundabout for example at 30km'h in 2nd, as I exit the roundabout my revs will rise and I can actually increase my speed without touching the accelerator. I know the base program is not so great - typically running rather rich - but is the car feeding more fuel to the engine and at the same time being misread as throttle when the clutch is out and my foot's off the accelerator? WTF?

The mind boggles. There I go, having a spit when all it probably needs is a tune...

Anyone ever experienced anything similar though?

Cheers!

OMG. u're in japan! Can u get me some parts? - I hear 18" rims r only $400/$500 there 2nd hand. I want some! lol.

Back to ur question. my bov did the samething. after like 2 weeks, i reset the ecu once too, everything was fine. Guess i was just lucky. anywayz how about those rims :) I'm pretty sure there will be a few guys in Japan who can help u out - $ is an universal language of requiring their services.

    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
