Okay people, i have stock r33 GTS-t S2, went to track day down at wakie and all went well. come home car was all good, a few days later the car started to idle rough, idling down to 500-400rpm, kept running though and hasn't stalled. When i pressed the accelorator car was fine, didn't miss had good power still. I changed the plugs which looked like shit and thought maybe that was the problem but no, idle still rough. I have noticed that when i change gear sometimes or back off sometimes i get popping in the exhaust. Never run the car below just under quarter of a tank of fuel and always premium at worst. Actually since trackday only run BP ultimate. Car isn't running hot or anything just rough idle. I did turn the idle up a smidge and seemed to fix it but it has come back. i don't think turning the idle up is my answer.

It doesn't seem to be running lean as fuel usage is about right.

Only mods i have are, dump pipe and 3inch exhuast and pod filter, i do have a dual stage boost controller installed but its set on stock 8psi when i'm on the street, when i'm at the track i'll turn it up to 10psi but at wakie it played up and overboosted so left it on 8psi.

Any suggestions??

Maybe fuel filter, pump maybe, even a leak?? Don't know, thats why i'm asking you.

Cheers Adam.

haha ok .. TPS is easy with a 6mm socket .. its the throttle position sensor, on the throttle body -- may be a bandaid fix though

AAC - auxilery Air control (idle control).. big DIY on how to clean them on here..

Thanks Chris, i'll be doing this tomorrow. :yes:

Okay cleaned my ACC but noticed i had a leak in a small hose just above the ACC valve after i cleaned and replaced it, don't know if i broke it while i was fiddling with the ACC or not, but fixed it. As for the main problem being fixed i don't know, on the sticker under the bonnet it says to set the idle at 650rpm, so i did and it seems to hold idle now but occasionally it 'misses' i don't think it is missing but i don't know how else to describe it. Might be time to get a tune from a shop.

Anyway thanks for those who responded, i did actually learn somethings about my car. I will post when/if i find out what/is my problem.

Cheers, Adam.

Chris thanks mate, i owe you :D

Okay it seems to be all good now, nice and steady idle. If it was the hose that was broken before or if the ACC valve needed cleaning i don't exactly know which was the problem but both have been done and now she idles like a kitten. :P

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
