Rough Idling Issue, Can't Find Soulution Anywhere

My skyline has been idling rough for a little over a year, I have a 97 GTS25t R33. What is does is when I am idle or accelerating quickly it will bog down a little or misfire, it's very noticeable and sometimes it is more frequent than others. It is much more noticeable when I am running the A/C also. It helps when I put the car in neutral at a stop light but still does it a little bit, when I am at cruising speeds it seems to be just fine although I think it would be harder to notice at those speeds, but definitely the worst when I acceleration especially going up hills. I have replace the spark plugs first and that seemed to make it better for just a couple of days. I changed both oxygen sensors, and recently just thoroughly cleaned the MAF sensor. I am looking towards the injectors next but would like some input before I dig into such a large job. Like I said it has been about the same for a little over a year, not really getting worse, but bad enough on a daily basis and more so when I run the A/C. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I changed both oxygen sensors

Correct me if I'm wrong but you should only have one.

Thanks for the info and the link, there is 1 under the hood and 1 on the exhaust, but today I removed the ignition coils and the spark plugs, did a very thorough cleaning and took careful time to replace everything, so far it is running very solid pretty much just as well as when i bought it 2 years ago (it hasn't ran that good in over a year) so hopefully the problem will not persist. I'm not that savvy with how everything works but mechanically i don't have a problem with replacing parts and configuring everything, so the input is definitely appreciated. Thanks again.

The sensor in the exhaust (cat) is a temperature sensor not an O2.

What did you replace it with?

I want to replace mine as I had to cut it to replace my cat. (couldn't get it out)

      I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p

      Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32

      AC not coming from top vents

      By Templim · Posted

      Ayooo, been a while mates. I have a s2 r33 gtst and air stopped coming out of all the top vents.   My car has always made an actuator gear noise when turning the car on but that's a different issue I think? Did searches and am at process of thinking it's an actuator or some type of motor? I see a few different actuators and don't know which one. Would be nice to know if it was the one that's under the steering wheel so the dash doesn't need to come out.

      Hi, just checking. Did you get this stuff made by Vspec Performance and at what price roughly? Looking into (sometime later) also getting such a intake kit, and Trust as well as HKS don't make a full set like this anymore.
