Hello everyone,

New here. Just posted an intro and here is the problem I am having that I have not found on here. Or anywhere for that matter. 

1993 R33 GTST with no real performance mods done yet. All my reading here has a garage full of parts to install but having a running/idle problem.

Car starts and runs great. Did all the standard stuff, filters, fluids, coil packs, plugs, brakes, etc. Idles fine and normal during warm and cold starts.

The issue is when driving. When coming to a stop at a set of lights and I put it in neutral or just push in the clutch the rpms drop to around 1500 rpm and sit there until the car comes to a complete stop. Then they drop back to normal. Doesn’t matter if brake easy or hard either. 

I’ve cleaned and tested MAF. Cleaned IAC Valve, replaced vacuum hoses with silicone. Checked and rechecked clamps/hoses/piping throughout engine bay. 

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks!

It should hold at around 1100 rpm under those circumstances, so it is doing mostly the right thing, just a bit too high. I would suggest that you have an air leak somewhere and the idle is simply too high and the ECU is dropping timing (at proper, stationary idle) to get the revs down - but it can't/won't do that with a non-zero speed signal. You could put it on the dyno and put a Consult unit or other scan tool on the ECU and see what the timing is in the ECU while it coasts down, then at a stationary idle. I wouldn't be surprised if it was 0-5° stationary.

Thanks. Kind of figured it must be a leak somewhere but I can’t seem to find it. 

So at non-zero speed elevated RPM’s are normal. 1100 vs 700?  It’s been a while since I’ve had a manual but maybe it was so gradual I didn’t know whereas 1500 rpm is quite noticeable.

i used to get constant high rpm until replacing a split vac line. Now only as described. Do these symptoms suggest a particular area to focus on?

      Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too.

      Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.

      Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.

      Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
