Hi guys.

When I start my car, it idles at about 600 rpm, and gives a bit of a shake to a car. When i switch off overdrive, it resumes back to normal for some time, but starts to drop after about 5 mins

Anyone can advice, what would be the reason for this to happen?

Bought this car just today, so dont know much about it.

It is a R34 GT,1998

Thanks

how is your fuel economy?

if its bad then i would look at changing the spark plugs.

Same low idle happened to my car recently - usually morning cold starts starts high and stay there until the motor warms up.

Had shocking fuel economy too.

Changed the 3500ish km cooper plugs back to the platinum (had only 10k kms on them) and it revs high and back to normal again

      The Ls1 R33 Of Fury

      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.

      Welcome Mark. Do you have a Skyline or are you looking to get one?
