hey 33SOM,

i have been having the same problem with my r33 for the last few weeks.

Sometimes it will idle normal then other days its around 1500 to 2000rpm.

i have found with him that if its idle is normal and i give it a good bang, it will then go up to the high idle, but if i drive normal shift at like 2500rpm it seems to be fine.

when i get off my ass i will try everything u have done

Looks like a problem that occurs when ya have a power fc installed

haha

i had mine installed in october

november, i started noticing the idle repetitively going from 500 to 1500

not the best look when you have stopped at the intersection.

i'm am in the midths of looking into it .

my AFM is not the cleanest one i have seen, and going to clean my panel filter aswell .

i will clean the AAC valve aswell, and replacing my fuel pump with a bosch 040 which i have recently purchased. ( Nothing to do with the idle but anyway).

I will also check the spring on the throttle butterfly, the "cold idle valve thingo" and the TPS, whateva that is.

After i have mucked around with these possible solutions, and i know then that its not them and they are clean. i'll take it to, "hopefully" a person that knows what it might be, and fix it

One good point from this, is my car seems to run quite smoothly when driven, like an idiot (not on the streets of course) or like a granny.

Just the idle is the problem

I also have the problem of turning my car on.... sometimes

it decides to just click and not start, eventually it will start

im guessing my starter motor is rooted, or fuel pump.

(Replacing fuel pump soon)

Any advice as with the other two fellow ppl with the same fortunate problem.

Would be much appreciated and less stress on me

Thanks

You have an alarm? A dodgy immobiliser caused that once for me.

i have a mongoose alarm

it did work properly.. once

at the moment, when i press the button to lock the door

it doesnt lock, but does arm the car if you do open it, and the alarm will go off.

i actually have to press the button to arm then use the key to lock the door. Its very fun, but i do atleast know the doors locked.

I have a new motor to put it, will be fixed soon

i will also check the immobiliser wiring and make sure it works properly

THanks for that.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
