i suggest

- getting a service including spark plugs and fuel filter

- clean the AFM

do a serach for more info on the above

damn, bet me to pretty much exactly what i was gonna post. lol

but yeah, what he said ^^

Hey Warren, Thanks, it's a completly stock turbo.

Idles at 1k when i first start it then drops to 600, then keeps going up and down for a minute then sits on 600. (no aircon or any electrics on)

Just took it for a drive, when i stop, then go to take off it allmost stalls. RPM needle drops out then boots back in and jolts the car... not smooth at all :O im kinda worried.

It had a oil change before i picked it up with new oil filter, and i filled her up with Vortex fuel.

Apparently the guy put Penright? oil in it he mentioned 15, and its semi synthetic as full synthetic lowers compression?... or so he says.

Anyway ill try a fuel filter and new spark plugs.

Cheers

Sounds like it could be an AFM issue.

Almost every R33 auto driver has heard of or personally encountered your problem.

I had the problem too and it stopped after I had the car tuned with a SAFC2.

hey mate

do you have the stock blow-off valve or an aftermarket one?

i suggest

- find out about your bov type, this may be the problem...

- adjust your throttle position sensor (TPS) - do a search for this info

- turn the idle up to about 800rpm when warm - there's a screw on the back of the intake manifold near the master cylinder... turn that to adjust idle. do a search again for more info

cheers,

Warren

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
