Hey there guys im new to the scene, My names Geraus... I just got my skyline R33 Series II 1996 manual im currently from the Northern Suburbs.. The power is amazing,but i think i am having idle problems.. the car is stock as a rock, like when im idle'ing in the traffic.. my engine idles funny..like its going to stall but my rev's arent moving...when doing a funny idle.. or is this normal? because of the heat.

This is my first turbo car, my 1st car was a Honda Prelude 1997 VTi-R,the skyline has much more power...

i have been researching on this fourms quite a while now and the fourm is very good and very helpful from time on i am more happy to contribute a donation to keep this fourm running as the help is very good. I am also willing to come to the SAU cruises and meet some intresting members when there on so i'l keep my heads up.

Here are the picutres of my baby.

Hi Geruas, welcome to skylines australia, i'm sure you'll enjoy your new ride. Looks really nice and clean :)

Exhaust, pod, FMIC will definitely be good mods to start off with :down:

You might want to look at the Tutorials / DIY / FAQ section where you can find really useful information down the road.

You might also want to join up with the SAU VIC club here

;)

welcome. its good that you've actually done research before getting a skyline. much better approach than mine - buying a car when i didnt even know that there were 3 models of 'line lol.

car looks clean. and i rekon the exhaust and cooler are a good place to start.

Nice bud and welcome!

Unless you like the induction/sucking noise of the pod i would bother till you're making over 230rwkw. The std airbox, with a good filter will be more than ample.

With your idle best to start with the basics.

Change plugs, gap to 0.8mm.

Maybe even pour a bottle of injector cleaner in the tank, the next time you fill up.

Does it have an aftermarket BOV?

hey dude, coil packs most like. go splitfires around $500. Try plugs first though. Had same problem with my car when i brought it from DNGRUS. Just the age of the cars now around 12 yrs. good luck.

      Can someone tell me what this part is for? Someone duct taped it.

      I do not think that the return pipe could be the cause of your particular troubles, unless perchance it is leaking in a lot of unfiltered and unmetered air (assuming your ECU is still using AFMs). And then it could be very bad, but it shouldn't prevent you making boost. Blow then engine up from running lean? Sure. But it would make boost. You really needed to disconnect this thing from the turbo inlets and close those inlet ports off a year ago, and you should do it now.

      Pressure Ratio = 2. ie, 1 bar of boost (assuming 1 bat absolute pressure at the compressor inlet). This is relevant because compressor maps do not have "boost" up the y-axis. They have pressure ratio.

      Revisiting this thread again x2... 1 year later. This car has been an ongoing project between life. But, I never removed the re-circ pipe. I know, shame on me. But since then, i took it to get tuned and only making about 280hp (lame) and i'm chasing a boost issue where the car wont boost past 7-8psi. Mac valve installed. Haltech Platinum pro with the map sensor.  This is the first time i've tackled the turbo side of things, but i have that side somewhat taken apart to chase the waste gate vacuum lines. And noticed this stupid pipe again. I'm peicing together the puzzle and @GTSBoy mentioned that it was a big vaccuum chamber and said a bunch of car math stuff that I couldn't quite follow the car math (im trying). You guys think this would be the culprit? between rotting vacuum hoses?  i'm making a DIY boost leak tester this weekend.

      How to identify wheel bearing noise?

      By PranK · Posted

      I just spent a silly amount of time reading other forums' posts and watching "whats this noise" videos on Youtube. It *appears* to be the front diff having killed a pinion bearing or similar. Its almost definitely driveline, I haven't tested to see if the car makes the noise in N though but either way I think it's gonna be pricey. This is outside my area of comfort and expertise so I'll get my BMW guys on it. The bearings are attached to the hubs so are super easy to replace (at least in comparison to press in bearings) so I'll do them also.
