Today out of the blue, my car started idling funny, Ive never had this happen before on any of my other skylines, but it kinda sounded like I had rotational idle/lumpy cam. It also mysteriously brings the revs up high when they get really low down. On power, the car goes hard and seems fine.

I made sure all the coilpacks were in properly, however I have a feeling it could be spark plugs. But if it were spark plugs, wudnt the car drive like a bucket when i put the foot down? I checked the vac lines and it seemd fine as well.

Please help guys.

It could be also charcole canister.. I had same problem at idle with revs going all over the place (max 1500rpm), until i changed my charcole canister..

It did fix the problem however once in a blue moon, it still does it..

But then i think its something to do with my turbo-timer as well!! when i arm or turn off the car the revs jump all over the place.. but only in a blue moon now..

Hey guys i only recently bought my skyline and have had this problem now since ive had will clean the connectors on the air flow meter and hope that fixes it!

Everyone on the site that makes there input has helped so much (eg. stereo install, turbo timer, gauges, etc.) and its good to see that everyone helps eachother out.....

If I have a prob this is the best resort!

Cheers,

Dan

:P

Oh ok sweet I used throttle body cleaner in it today and it worked a treat! But now the car is missing a little bit on idle (like every ten to 15 seconds just pings a bit) but i guess its the fuel system. Some injection cleaner should do the trick!

Cheers

I have an HKS Electronic Idle Stabiliser for sale if you want it? It's used, but in 100% working condition.

HKS idle stabliser only helps when you have a big turbo and coming off throttle the afm sees different afm signals and causes the idle problem. The stabliser just changes that signal to a stable decreasing one to stop the idle problem.

It wont solve any other idle problems.

I have a cold start airbypass valve problem that keeps my idle at 1500rpm most of the time as the spring has come off the cold start bypass which keeps the revs up when the cars cold. Its a bastard to get to on the rb25 so i havent bothered to fix it yet since i hardly drive it now anyway.

thats what i hate about my f**king 33!

Its never right and its always 1 of a 1000 f**king things that could be wrong!

My dad is a mechanica and he hates the f**king thing!

Does anyone actually report that there 33 is fine and they dont have many dramas?

f**k me!

OK,

I cleaned AFM, new spark plugs, new fuel filter.

Nothing, still does it, however When i was hammering it It would fix itself sometimes. It still is just as powerful and goes hard.

Its intermittent.

I dont know what to do, is it a air leak, coilpacks, vac leak its doing my bloody head in.

Ive tried dissconnecting the coil plugs on at a time and all that does is drop that cylinder and make it sound like a WRX.

Its just got a bad idle, sometimes like Rotational Idle, sometimes just lumpy.

I havent tried the cleaning the AAC valve yet, you think this is causing the problem?

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
