hi guys lookin for some help as im stumped

so the problem is I have built myself a simple little drift missile but the response is *weird*?
say I whip a couple of nuts then go to snake off as soon is I blip the gas off then hard back on it dies as if a total cut then comes back on perfect again but by then traction is gained and its all over. same thing winding out a gear and changing up, rev all the way (no tach yet) smash next gear.... biiiig dead spot , foot still firmly planted, one or two tiny ignitions then back on song no missing broad minded persontering nothing, ruining my skids,

so guess I shood drop a mod list

c33 laurel originally rd28 diesel manuel
c34 rb25de wired in like factory, knock sensors, acc valve valve everything works , even hooked up the start signal wire
stainless 3-1 extractors into 3" exhaust with 1 hi flow muffler
pod filter with cold air box, doesnt have a feed into it , is just blocked off from engine bay and taking air from behind the light etc
diesel flywheel p plate, clutch and gear box
fuel is a 30l fuel cell with surge tank, hi vol pump into tank and a vl rb30 efi pump to motor, still running factory flushed diesel hard lines, (small return) and using the fatory fuel pressure reg thing on the return, (I assume that's what it is)
plugs are iridims and gaped to.8

any help would be great, this makes it no fun to drive

Not sure mate but a tune should be able to work it out. My old carby ap5 had the same problem and used to foul the plugs all the time until I sorted the over fueling with a fuel reg and carby jets. It was a petrol engine though. Diesels might be more sensitive to over fueling I think.

Is the gearbox/neutral switch hooked up so it knows when it's in gear? I'm assuming by having the start switch hooked up you are meaning the neutral switch is earthed so it thinks it's in neutral all the time, which means it will be using a different map in the ecu than if it thought it was in gear. That may be contributing to the issue.

does sound like a good plan, however, everything in this car is stripped, the whole auto loom is now gone ( body is factory manuel) would it be a pinout from the ecu?

as for the start start switch as far as I am aware I had to put 12v to it when the motor is winding over starting and it tells the ecu to give it a little more gas?

    • Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)
    • For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
    • I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...
    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
