Hey guys,

The name is Jared, i'm a newbie to these forums, and i'm having some problems with my R33!

It seems to be coughing and farting on idle sometimes, now all the mods i have done is a boost controller, fuel reg. and exhaust.

the car is due for a tune very soon once i fit my front mount, but even i know it shouldnt be idling like it is even if it is out of tune.

The car will idle fine sometimes, and others it will drop down to like 500rpm and just start idling like a dog!

I know it could be many a thing so i'm just wondering if you guys would be able to help me and maybe tell me some stuff i can look for to help try and cure this problem , till i have to take it to my mechanic!

i have replaced the AFM, tried adjusting the little red idle box thing at the back of the engine, and yeh im stumped lol maybe something to do with spark or fuel perhaps? Anyways any positive input would be great!

Cheers, jared

Do a bit of a search for hunting issues, I guess that will probably cover most of what you need to know, I have been having these issues for ages, every time I changed something it would stop, then be back the next day - Its because the climate control ac is the problem! I would switch it off to test, then flick it on the next day! oh I laughed so hard when I figured that out ;) lesson one, change only one thing at a time...

The same thing was happening to my 33 GTS-T...

Was my fuel pump, it was on the outs and had to get it replaced when i got it tuned anyway... but idle was horrific and sumtimes when i had to stop suddenly the car would fall to 200 or otherwise stall....

Hope this helps....

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
