Hi guys,

Recently i've been encountering a few issues with my 97 r33. When pulling up to a light or coming to a stop (or even jst idling for that matter) my cars rpm fluctuates up and down ever so slightly. Sometimes the rpm dips to low enough and the engine cuts off. The problem appears to be getting worse. Now the car feels jerky and sluggish to drive. Also the cars eats a lot more fuel too if that helps. Please help! :(

Thnx, Simon

The car also stalls VERY easily when driving around parking lots!

I have the same problem with my r32 I've been told that it can be coz of the BOV I also have problems when the car is dead cold (first start up) is hard to start and have to use throttle to get it to idle once it is going tho its all good could this be connected ??

that could be your tune^^^ i.e. never tuned for cold start.

Simon, i defintatly say its your BOV's, particualy if you are runing a/m atmo with afm's (no map tune). Stock BOV's are the best anyhow. There are usually a few GTR (compatible with the gtst) ones floating in the classified for ~$50.

    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
    • Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.  
    • It's more like on average the things I see a lot of things going wrong. Yes, usually the people who reach out are the ones who are having problems but on average it feels like mechanics and tuners here aren't really competent. I swing between thinking my standards are just way too high and wondering whether people really are just this dumb. I just had the strangest 10+ reply argument on a Facebook group over someone insisting that the factory R34 GTT boost control solenoid reduces boost pressure to 5 psi when it's on and raises boost pressure to 7 psi when it's off despite showing the exact plumbing in the factory service manual and the solenoid behavior detailed in the FSM.
    • I steam cleaned my near new set of volk gtc wheels 14 years ago and farrkkked them lol. The clear coat cracked like spider webbing in several areas. Lesson learnt don't do that. 😭
