hey, my car is an r33 skyline gtst 95 series one.

my problem is this, when i start the engine cold its all good and wants to go but when i drive around for about 10 mins and engine is warm it wants to stall and idol goes low to like 250-300, some times when i have it in park it goes to 700 and then when it hits drive or reverse it drops?

i just replaced the tps in it. what do i do now?

thanks alex

This may be a long shot, but my mate's car kept doing this, and it was because the throttle cable was too short, so there was too much air in the engine.

Although, I always thought if you could stall an auto, you're very talented.

Were u driving it normally, just accelorating, or did you out ur foot down and it revved up before kicking down? My mate's car did the latter. We all thought it was meant to do that, but he disagreed. He was right, he has to get a new one cos it shat itself. Might be worth looking into.

hey mate na i was driving it normally, and i just had the engine put in.

i bought it from slide proformance on here.

yeah like when i drive and lets say i go to 80ks and i drive normal i have to wait an extra 2 secs for it to kick up a gear on each one

Get your ECU read, may show a totally unrelated prob for your stalling.

For example my R33 auto kept on returning to "limp home mode" = selecting 3rd gear and running only in this gear at any speed.

My ECU was read and it showed a speedo fault, aprox 3 inches of electrical wiring had fried behind the dashboard!!!

So, yeah, get your ECU read and it may solve your prob without too much more time and fustration!!!

As EMZ said, probably not related to any of the above. Sounds like the line pressure to the auto is no good. Run an automatic transmission diagnostic - ive put a tutorial in the relevent section, and work back from there.

    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
