Meh, im putting my girl up for sale anyway - let the buyer deal with it.

I have noticed that it does it most often at low speed, in the first couple gears (when clutching), and when turning or just after turning. Maybe my power steering pump is sapping too much juice, or the aac screw needs to be adjusted to allow more revs...

I've heard rumours along the wire that a Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) can also be the culprit for an idle stalling problem. How do I go about playing with and/or replacing this?

I'll run a search, cos I know that's normally people's first answer (and it's lots of help, by the way... NOT!)

I might be on the trail to finally finding the gremlin. Have received reports that the TPS wouldn't be responsible for all of the things that I'm experiencing. It's more attributable to a sticking throttle body butterfly than a TPS.

So the next step (in this epic saga) is to remove the throttle body, and clean it like nobody's business...

I'll be sure to report in with the results - stay tuned.

Have you tried using another AFM I had this problem after installing the new Turbo was shitting me to tears trying to save it at lights all the time, I have a mate who owns a skyline and he just put a RB25 in his 4 door so weee spare AFM for the 20 anyway we put it on and presto fixed I dont get much stalling now but I think the rest just means a good tune

Ok guys i know how to fix this issue.

I tried everything to fix this problem on my R32

What i did was:

- Changed TPS

- Cleaned ACC valve

- Changed AAC valve

- Cleaned AFM

- Changed AFM (tested with RED top and SILVER top engines)

- Changed fuel filter

- Changed oil

- Played around with the idle screw

- Cleaned out throttle body+butterfly

- Cleaned plugs and re-set em

- Checked for vacume leak

NONE of this worked at all!!!, i was spewing.

But finally i was looking around the engine bay and spotted the

COLD START SOLENOID.

I got a new Cold Start Solenoid from my mechanic and it was fixed!!!!!

Finally!!!!!.

It doesnt hunt for revs anymore, and it doesnt idle high.

It purrs like a kitten.

PS: I talked to my mechanic and he said that skylines engines are pretty prone to stuffing up the Cold Start Solenoid.

This would be ur problem too. Id start there ASAP cos you dont wana go shitten around trying stuff that dont work, like i did.

Hopes this helps you guys,

Matt

I've fixed the stalling problem!!!

It was the blow off valve. Which is very strange, cos the blow off valve I had on it was the Greddy Type S, which was being plumbed back just like the stock one. Maybe it was blowing-off too early, too late, too much, too little, too who f*cken knows...

The good news is she's not stalling anymore, and I'm smiling again!

The cold start solenoid is located under the intake plume cross over pipe (between the intake and the rocker cover) you may need to push some wires/pipes out of the way. Its a square thing with tubes going into it.

I got a brand new one from japan through my mechanic that cost $190. could try and get a second hand one but usually they are f**ked with the same problem

Cheers R32FOURDOOR..

I Didn't get chance to check forum on weekend, so in the mean time, I did something else.

I reset my computer by disconnecting the battery and pressing the brake a few times (to clear any remaining volts) then plugged it back in... I couldn't tell if it solved the cold start problem, but it doesn't seem to be rev hunting at idle anymore.. it's actually quite smooth...

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
