Hello,

About 6 months ago my R33 was having problems idling correctly, (stalling when at lights and so on..) I took it to autotech in QLD where I was told the charcoal filter needed to be adjusted? If I understand correctly the charcoal filter's in the R33 when complied can be from a commodore? I'm after a Nissan genuine filter but cant seem to find any to buy. When looking at cars that are being stripped the filters all appear to be a generic brand not the stock ones. Am I on the right track here and will I see a performance boost or at least smoother Idling using a different filter. Are there any other options to go with, aftermarket ones?

Any Information is appreciated,

Thanks Cant wait for SCC 07 :)

:)

you can bypass the canister temporarily to see if that is your problem, but i dont see how it can be adjusted...

tried cleaning you aac valve? (do a search)

got an atmo BOV? maybe thats causing it as cars with AFM's dont really like them

or even a vacuum leak somewhere which would probably be the problem that will affect it most

    • For me at least the reason why it bothers me is because it's indicative of a deeper problem. And that will nag at me forever. Especially because I have tailpipe emissions testing + evap leak testing every 2 years.
    • WELP. I went to the track, and I suppose it went okay because any time you can drive home is okay. You may notice the car is not on the circuit in this picture. It was about 35C day out in Benalla which means the track was approximately the surface of the sun, probably. Good things, car did not overheat but it _was_ warmer than when I had done track days in similar heat before, I think, I'm not sure - I can't quite remember. Coolant got to ~105 via the ECU after 20-30 minutes of belting it in said heat. Oil got up to 145C in one instance which is pretty crazy due to oil cooler. Pressures were fine. I seem to remember this not getting quite so high before the vents. More HMMMM'ing to be done. On the subject of HMMM'ing, can anyone identify the sounds in the video below, you will know which ones I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj3BkI2cbTc I included some 'normal' sound as a reference for the first minute or so. The microphone in this instance was where the license plate is. It stopped working later in the day which is why my "best example of a lap video (not produced)" had internal audio - Isn't hearable from inside the car. I don't mean the chirping of the un-bedded/badly bedded track brakes which you can only hear while braking... Thoughts, brains trust?
    • blame old mate Hawkins for that one  I remember way back in the day the japanese didn't want them either... they always assumed a race shell would be thrashed. We found a few when looking for an R34 GTR for the Whites to drive in Targa Tas back in 2002.
    • I know it's probably not going to cause any major engine issues. I just had a more generic concern that it's technically not running right (I guess this means the rpm is not sitting where it technically should be) Though the other thing is, it's that my steering wheel is shaking at 1,100 rpm at idle until it gets warm (seemed to happen after I tightened my alternator belt, will be testing the alternator soon).
    • I mean, what's the concern here? Higher fuel consumption? FWIW my idle sits at around 800rpm or so as well. And yes, it runs fine, idles fine and there are no issues as far as I can tell. I don't quite see the problem.
