Well, if the ECT sensor is faulty, it will confuses the ECU and when my ECT sensor went kaboom, my idling was rough and sometimes shoot

up to 2000 rpm as well but not constantly, most of the time the idling would drop so low and cause the engine to stall.

Do you see any black smoke coming out of your exaust while idling or before the car stall???, Check the spark plugs as well :thumbsup:

the car is getting checked out tomorrow finally thanks to the good lads at active auto elec in bayswater. Everywhere else was lame. The car has been sitting in my driveway and ive been driving my sisters excel as motivation to hurry up and get my car fixed.

Well it turns out it wasn't the alternator causing the stalling but i did have a problem with my alternator. The belts were worn out and squeeling so it wasn't charging properly. Apparantly the stalling should have something to do with the intake. Perhaps a leak somewhere. As I said the other day I cleaned out my AFM with AFM cleaner and reset the ECU so that won't fix it. The guys there recommended I try out Race Pace which I am sure you guys have heard of. Otherwise I found them friendly, they worked fast and charged a fair price so I would go there again Ilama_au

Might be worth trying to clean your AAC valve mate, just as a last resort. This can fix idle hunting issues.

Someone did a DIY on it : http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/110431-diy-aac-valve-cleaning-idle-reset/

last night we played around with the pcv valve, checked for leaks and then adjusted the idle speed. It was sitting pretty low before (550rpm) now it is sitting at 650rpm and there are no more issues? I still want to find out what was causing it

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
