I have a 1996 R33 RB25det.

 

I recently replaced rocker cover gaskets and once everything was back together when I turned the car on it has a really rough idle then with in 5-10 sec engine stalls.

Can anyone point me to the right direction

I have put everything back as it was and have double checked everything. Car was running mint before I did this.

Idles Roughly under 1,000rpm before cuts.

 

Note - car has been parked up the last 2 weeks. I was kinda just been changing gaskets in between work and spare time.

If the engine is running, spray carby cleaner or similar at possible leak spots.  If you find the leak the revs will change as you replace air with fuel.

If the engine is not able to run, you do a pressure test and look for outward leaks.  Do a search on here for a howto.  Has to have been covered more times than a Kardashian wedding.

Cheers. Thanks for that. I'll get on to it.

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
