I just bought a R33 Series 2 Skyline on the Saturday, Sunday i was taking it for a drive and while waiting at the lights it just started revving by itself. My foot was on the clutch and brake and the a/c was. Has anyone had this problem before or know if it has anything to do wit the a/c being on? Its my first Skyline so im not quite sure where to start looking.

If you can go to a mechanic with a console they can hook up to your ecu ( assuming you have the stock ecu)

They will check your tps signal chances are this will be out of whack and they will reset it for you and all should be sweet.

A mate of mind had something similar he just went to the local ultra tune and got it all reset for cheap.

Hope it all works out well.

How much was it revving? Are you talking about blipping up like 100-500 rpm while idling? I bought a S2 R33GTST last week and it'll randomly blip up like that while I'm idling... sometimes it will, sometimes it wont. Also, something odd is that when I go from 4th -> neutral -> 2nd with low revs it'll randomly stall, like when making a slow turn or going into a roundabout... is that normal behaviour? Do these cars really like that much juice for even slow speeds :P ?

Heaps of fun overall though! :)

yeah it was blipping about that. i took it for another drive got it warmed up and it didnt do, it hasnt done it since. i havent experienced the random stalling but it will be something i watch out for. i got the same car so hopefully its not a normal thing in all of them :P

id be looking at a vacume leak. if oyu cant find one then head to get the tps looked at. had cimilar issues when playing around with vacume hoses on my old 33. haded put them back on corrently... could even have a cracked one.

it will 'blip' up when your ac is on to compensate for the load. Stalling will prob. be an air leak or an atmo BOV mod. Mines great on the juice, even with my foot flat to the floor :(

i heard from somewhere that this happens when the cams aren't aligned properly?

i have a similar problem on my r33. revs would drop then go back to 1000 and drop again.

Next time you go to "somewhere" plug up your earholes so you don't hear stupid shit and repeat it and make yourself look uber stupid on your first post.

and welcome.

could be something to do with your a\c settings aswell.. eg thermostat in the evaperator as that controls when to bring on a\c compressor or any pressure switch realy in the a\c that will also account for rvs going up and down as its cycling the gas through system will only do that if its to cold or running out of gas

I heard it could be your atmo BOV if you have one :D

hey i got a 95 gtst too the random stall is from the bov not beening plumed back... if this is right for u then theres not much u can do with a stock ecu . try reset the ecu by taking the - off the battey mit work

i had the same problem awhile ago. turned out to be the IAC (idle air control). take it off the car and give it a good clean with carby cleaner should fix it.

i had the stalling prob,,,,, really it could be over 20 different reasons that i have come across so far from other peoples experience but clean the throttle body, IAC, AFM (air fuel meter), changed spark plugs to ngk platniums and make sure you try to use 95 octane or higher, i find my car splatters abit on 95 so for an extra 4cents/liter i put 98 octane only..... the bov can make it stall but but 9 times out of 10 it has nothing to do with the bov at all...... its way more likely to be the things i said and alot cheaper to do than changing a bov..... so do the easier cheaper things first and if it doesnt work then start the more expensive solutions..... also make sure the idle isnt too low, nissan recomends on a standard r33 off memory 600-700ish rpm.... it says it under the bonnet in one of those stickers if your car still has it

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
