Hey guys,

With my daily driver, n/a R31 RB30... I put a unifilter pod on about a month or so back and since the last couple weeks the car when coming to a stop at lights or givig way etc, the car really struggles to idle and feels like stalling.

Each time when I get home, Ive looked at all the intake connection pipes, do them up tight - and still does it and now its getting beyond a joke!

Just wondering is there anything else I should be looking at?

Car is dead stock apart from hektik pod!! :(

if worst comes to worst I'll ditch pod and put airbox on

Cheers,

Chris

Id try it without the filter and put the original on and see what happens. That way youll know whether its the new intake or not.

Failing that bump the idle up a bit.

This wont fix the problem, just masks the symptoms, but might stop it rattling and spluttering at the lights.

Another common prob with 31's (happened to both of mine) is the clip that joins onto the air flow metre has a lose connection, might have disturbed it when you put the pod on.

May have to join a new plug onto it, try the filter first.

took it all off, put it all back on - still bad :D

lately also car has been back firing a bit off the throttle (just normal driving really!)

checked sparkies and one was white - my mechanic said leaning out a bit - so maybe i have a fuelling issue, chnaged fuel filter and still bad

I think an injecter/s or pump could be an issue.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
