manuel or auto.

my auto did that turned out it was the fuel filter, dont ask me how that works but mine was also caused when i was turning a corner and my power steering overloaded the moter due to something to do with teh fuel. as i said it does not make sense but it stopped stalling

yea the most common issue is with the atmospheric bov as lingeringsoul stated. just put your standard plumb back bov back on or alternatively you could also get an electronic idling stabiliser kit so when you are off throttle your revs will ease down rather then completly dropping

yea it could be the BOV....i had this problem when i put a HKS super sequential in because my stock one had problems....i now have a GFB Stealth FX BOV which is fully ajustable and this fixed my stallling problems.....where i have it set to 1/4 atmo and 3/4 plumb back...if you are after a BOV i suggest the GFB is the best option if you dont have the stock one...

Put the stock BOV back on.

Thats intresting i never really had alot to do with turbo'd cars therefore still learning i would have thought the air idle motor to be faulty. Like jumed up or the ldle need ajusting. But when i think about it now a full atmosphere BOV would drop the revs quickly. Is there any other little querks i need to look out for with the r33 gtst's

Well yeah sort of..

The BOV dumps air out of the intake pipe, AFTER it's been registered by flowing past the air sensor. So when you dump air out of the intake the ECU still dumps the same amount of fuel in (expecting the air thats gone atmo, to come into the engine!). This creates the wrong air/fuel mixture, so when the revs drop to idle its not generating enough "bang" to keep the engine running on idle because its got a really rich mixture :cheers:

Oh sorry.. i missed the part where you said the car was completely stock. If there isnt an atmo BOV, then you can try cleaning your AAC valve..

There is a DIY on how to do it here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Di...nd-t110431.html

If you've got some basic tools you can do it yourself pretty easily. Often a dirty/sticky AAC valve can cause idling issues..

- clean afm

- clean aac valve

- re-set ecu

Your car shouldnt be running highly rich if its just stock!!

Unless you got exhaust and bosted it up a bit (if you still call that stock?)

Otherwise check theres no leaks in hoses etc.

Car runs fine when you drive it? Or does it hestitate while giving it some?

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
