R32 Gts-T Idle Problem

When i bought the car it was running a stock BOV. I then spent $200 on a Turbosmart BOV and it was great for a little while.. But now I'm having a rough idle issue.. When I'm driving and drop gears and go into neutral (or put the clutch in) the revs drop and the car stalls.. Sometimes it'll go down to 100 revs and bounce back up to a thousand but lately it's been stalling more.. Does anyone with knowledge about RB20's know what a common cause of this could be? Everything is stock except brass button clutch, splitfire coil pack and front mount.. Would putting the stock Bov back on stop this problem? Sorry for asking the question but I can't find another thread that has a direct answer. Thanks in advance.

Not wanting to be too mean to you, but there would have to be 10^4 threads on here with the exact same question and lots of us screaming at the poster to replace the factory BOV. -4 search points for you!

Hahaha thanks for not being a complete dick. But I try to increase my search ability I'm still a nub tho.

If you didn't say it, I was going to have to.....

If you are going to suggest making the BOV to its hardest setting to stop the problem, then you may as well not run a BOV really.

Put the stock BOV back on or run an aftermarket plumb back BOV

^^what? i can't believe how many australian guys run plumb backs they are far less prevelant over here.

perhaps clean your IACV...you can test to see if its your bov by watching the bov piston return when free reving it..

Gaz all of the AFM guys run plumbbacks to avoid OP's problem.

If it's not a recirc blow off valve then replace the factory one. You can sell the turbosmart one for sure if you're worried about the $200

umm i run afm and atmo bov and don't have that problem...it can be sorted without changing the bov.

It's also the law in oz.

Like you say it can be sorted but the reality is its not really worth mucking around with one is oz just to cop a defect for it.

Atmo BOV's cause so many more problems than they are worth on an AFM equipped car.

You can fiddle with the atmo BOV, get a retune to make it work (If you have an aftermarket ECU, otherwise factor in money to buy that) then it still wont run quite as nice as a PB BOV, then get a fine for having a venting BOV

alternatively, use stock BOV, buy aftermarket PB BOV, don't need retune, drives as stock

If your buying an ATMO BOV for the sound then you can still get that from an aftermarket plumback.

This is why I say they are not worth the trouble. You are right, they can work. But why would you bother?

      Does anyone know whats happening with harness on drivers door?

      The two diagrams are equivalent. The R32 one is just one sheet out of about 3 showing everything in the whole car all at once. And without knowing the functionality that occurs in the modules, they are both equally opaque.

      Thanks for your reply,  Those blue/green wires running to the actuator aren't attached to anything, so I'm not sure how the central locking is still working. I will have to take a good look tomorrow, I don't have the car with me. After googling it seems like a pretty common aftermarket actuator which even uses the same green/blue wires the immobiliser required. i'll test everything tomorrow and if it's working i'll melt the solder, strip it, resolder and neaten it all up with some heat shrink. I don't have to understand it if it works hahaha I just don't want a fire/ short circuit. That R32 diagram looks more like a continuity chart? Can you make sense of this form the R34 manual? 10V is probably due to very flat battery, i'll recheck as well tomorrow, I did have to jump start it haha. Thanks again!

      So, COM doesn't mean comms. It means common. What common itself means will depend on the type of device. For a two directional actuator (ie, one that can push and pull on the same output rod) then the common will typically just be the earth connection. There will be at least 2 other wires. If you put 12V on one of the other wires, then the actuator will push. On the other 12V wire, it will pull. Can't quite make out what is going on with the wiring of your actuator. It appears to have several wires at the actuator plug, but there only appears to be 2 wires where its loom approaches the door control module, with at least one of the others cut off. I don't know these actuators off by heart. I'd have to look at a wiring diagram for one before knowing what the wires were about, and that's despite me having to replace one in my car not all that long ago. Just not interesting enough to have dedicated memory set aside for trivia like that any more. That actuator is an aftermarket one, not the original one, which probably died and was replaced. That might require some sort of bodge job on wiring to make it work. Although nothing should justify the bodginess of the bodge job done. As to the soldering job on the door module's loom plug. Ahhahhahaha. Yes, very nasty. Again, I cant tell you what any of those wires do. You'd need to study the R34 wiring diagram (if you can find one that shows the door module). I don't think I have any. I'd have to study the R32 diagram to start to understand what mine is doing, and again, even though I've had a problem with mine for the last 25 years (where it locks the passenger door when the driver's window reaches top or bottom of travel) I'm just not interested enough to try to to work it out. So long as it's not burning down, it's fine with me. Here's the R32 GTR diagram, which, confusingly, has rear door lock actuators and window motors on it!! As you can see, unless you understand the functions of the door lock timer and the power window amplifier, you'll never be able to work out how it works just from the diagram. I don't imagine that the R34 one is any better. Hopefully an R34 aware bod can help. FWIW, the two wires that are cut and joined look like they are both power supply - so hopefully it is not fatal to join them. The 10V you measured on the cut off free end of one of them is concerning. You'd expect 12V, and it might be the reason for the bodge job joining them together.
