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...

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
