Hello There.

I am new so do bare with me here.

I've been converted from Holden Fan to Pure Skyline (praise the son of rajab)

I own a R33 GTS25T only mod I know of is the POD Filter

Last night I was at a set of lights facing an XR6 and sure enough I force fed him some tar.... BUT!!

When I was in the process I made sure I kept below Red Line I made sure gear changes happened between 5 to 6K RPM.

I havent got anything special in my bad boy but a POD filter - everything else is standard.

PROBLEM.....

After this little wank sesh I had betting the XR6 about 5 mins later I started having surging problems like... As i pulled up to another set of lights she didn't idle quite right

and when I engaged my clutch she had intentions of stalling.

NOW...(Sitting in IDLE) the fuel is 98, the engine temp was mid gauge (as usual) and idle was aprox 700 to 900 rpm (where ever it sits at usual idle)

engage clutch and .... the boost goes normal...ish as in it fluctuates with the surges the rpm same and the ride is just s***

As I pulled up to the shops (destination) the engine stalled, it would idle fine but as soon as I engaged the clutch Off the engine goes....

I left it and went shopping come back and she was fine again WTF..... FORD PHANTOM Jealous or something??.....

every now and then just before boost i feel a tiny surge....

I thought the air flow meter.... but need some true knowledge behind this theory...

WTF??? Please Help!!!!

Is this the end of showing other cars whos boss???

obviously wasn't a turbo xr6 otherwise it would've been a pair of tail lights off in the distance, but that's a discussion for a different thread.

the issue you are having may be caused by your coil packs starting to fail (extremely common for the stock coils to start to fail as they are getting on a bit now), or it may be that your plugs are also getting close to needing changing, or possibly that the AAC valve needs a clean (there is a thread about how to do this if you search the tutorial/DIY section). this is the most common cause of the car stalling when the clutch is pushed in when coming to a stop, but not the only possible cause. weak coils of plugs, as i already mentioned, also can cause this plus a few other things.

Thanks man yeah Im well aware the XR6 turbos are really something else ( i keep my eye out for the red sign to make sure im not going to make a fool of myself)

Thanks again for the heads up I'll do a little bit of reading :)

Yes!!

That is not why we are here. It's idiots like you that give the rest of us a bad name. Go back to your bloody Commonwhores if you want to behave like that!

No need to cry there I'm sorry I upset you, you poor thing, sticking up for your fellow enthusiast.... woot woot..... I see where your coming from and ultimately I'm not a hoon!! I'm a big time car enthusiast, I was in an 80 zone facing 100 sign at the set of lights and I dont even think I exceeded 100,

Adding to that Im sorry if I offended you with my hoon humor, but telling you about this stuff is not why I'm here........

YOU FAILED TO ANSWER MY QUESTION!!!!

you dont like what you read be else where

FOCUS!!!!!!

I was trying to explain the scenario as to how this whole surging and stalling took place.... Yesterday I was at an uncles place and he has a LOOOOOONG drive way I was trying to get it to stall there but nooope yet it stalled on the way to his house this is becoming an issue

    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
