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...

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞

      I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I saw your intro update, are you sure you've actually had a starter motor failure? You mention it could be the alarm causing it. I'm assuming you've got a no start issue, but what are the exact symptoms, as there could be a few reasons it has stopped wanting to start.
