when i start my rb25 the idle will drop down to about 400 then raise back up to normal idle, but today it just stalled and was almost stalling after starting.. also when i just lightly tap my accelerator it will bog down a little and run rough for a second, any ideas? bad air filter or fuel filter?

i have the same problem aswell,every time it gets cold or left for hours and go to start it it will sit low at around 300rpm and then raise up or even stall most times and now is worse as every time i start the car when cold it stalls unless i give ii a lil rev..its like blocking up for a couple of seconds and clears up.

afm cleaned,new filter,plugs.....havent done the fuel filter as yet but the aac valve was cleaned a few month back...cant work it out :/

There is a screw on the aac valve to adjust the idle - pretty sure its in that thread i put in the link above..

Resetting the ecu may help.. IIRC - take negative terminal off... pump the brakes for a bit to drain any charge still in the system.. connect negative back again (your clock etc should have reset if you did it right) There is a quicker way of shorting the ecu in the fuse panel under the steering wheel (never tried it)

Does this only happen when cold?

Do u have stock ECU?

One of my cars does that and its because i have a power FC and it hasnt been tuned for a cold start, also needed new wax pellet.

Also as previously suggested, definately check / clean AFM and AAC, plugs, coil packs.

    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
