I was wonderin if anyone could help me.

On hot days/nights my r33 is havin troubles. if I drive along and stop at traffic lights its fine. but if I'm in a line up or turnin lane and only creepin forward small distances at a time. when i raise the rev's then drop them sometime's they drop right out for a sec then pulling back to idle, sometimes even to the point of stallin. I was hopin someone might be able to help me.

My thought's is that it might be suckin in too much hot air through the pod filter from the engine bay and I might need a heat sheild or somethen similar.

Can someone please help...

do you have an aftermarket BOV that vents to the atmosphere?

this could be causing you problems if your idle is set to standard (650 rpm) thats why some people up the idle rpm to try and prevent it from stalling (mine included, idles at about 850rpm..thats how i bought it)

just a thought

I had this problem when i first bought my car, as soon as i shielded the pod filter it has never happened again and its been a long time, so shield the pod, or if you dont have a FMIC put the stock airbox back on with its standard cold air scoop.

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
