Hey guys

Had this issue for a lil bit but has got a lil worse since I fitted a 3" ss. Intake pipe I made

What happens is I go to start driving in any gear Iand I'f I put the clutch in the revs drop down like it wants to stall but never does but has come close

I'm leaning towards it being Afm meter related or possibly bov not being plumb back ..

I have no idleing miss or anything so which makes me think it's not the bov and airflow meter related

most likely due to the atmo bov. what happens is that when you lift off the throttle and the bov opens it sucks fresh air through the bov. this causes the ecu to dump in extra fuel and makes the car stall/amlost stall. putting a plumback bov on will help the situation. if the coils and/or plugs are getting on a bit then replacing them can help the situation as well, but won't solve it completely.

Not always JUST the bov. When I had my other skyline, I fitted a atmo blitz bov and a alloy intake pipe at the same time. Started the car, started fine, drove it and it almost stalled on the first clutch in. Removed the BOV and fit the stock one on with a rubber return line. The problem got a little better but not right, still evident. I got my pipe remade with the return for the BOV flowing towards the turbo rather than straight down. What was happening is the air from the BOV was hitting the AFM, as mad082 said above, fooling the car into thinking fresh air just hit the AFM and thus putting in fuel to compensate when really it was the same air, just measured twice.

Look at the stock Nissan intake pipe, the breather and return lines are as far away from the AFM as possible and still at a 45degree angle pointing towards the turbo. Its a hint when you go to build your intake pipe.

no, the problem with atmo BOV's is that your AFM has seen x amount of air flow through. Then you have an atmo BOV which then makes some of that air disapear. So your car then has (I'll over exagerate it to prove a point) say half the air the AFM has registered. So instead of getting x amount of air with y amount of fuel, your getting 1/2 X with 1 Y

Therefore it runs extra rich, nearly stalls till the BOV closes and the AFM can catch up.

as long as the BOV is plumbed back it shouldnt matter all that much where the air is returned as long as it gets back in before the turbo. As air will always flow towards the turbo (unless your getting compressor surge) so the air from the plumback pipe will flow that way as well..

The problem I'm guessing you had is that you ran the Atmo BOV for a little bit, changed back to plumback and your ECU went weird. I had the same problem. Pulled an ATMO BOV off and it still had all the symptoms of an Atmo BOV. Cleaned AFM, cleaned AAC, did this and that and nothing worked. Reset ECU and ran fantastic.

The ECU's are touchy, I think that might have been the issue and changing the pipe somehow fixed it. Where the air inserts back into the system shouldnt matter to much as long as its between the turbo and AFM. But thats just the way I understand it from what little I know about fluid dynamics.

      George's R33 GTST build

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments

      Ah yes but were you responsible? In the time I've had it (just before Christmas) I spun off the track twice and drove into things twice, so four separate incidents.. in two outings. Luckily I have a full OEM GTR front end to put on which is hopefully not a precursor for further, future, more expensive mistakes to come. It is some consolation that anyone who would want to buy my Altia bar would have to paint it anyway, the guards, too. (if they can get over the asymmetry). Hopefully over the weekend I will disassemble and see how badly things are bent. From what it looks like, the headlight has actually just been pushed back and bent the headlight support (which .. somehow... crushed the guard in). I guess the headlight plastic is strong stuff.
