Hi guys, i'm a newbie here.

i got 32gtr and have a little thing concern.

when i am revving it in the neutral position: the rpm sort of drop a little and then goes up normally. after engine reaches normal operating temperature it still does the same, but just drop less.

what is the likely culprit for this problem? Any input much appreciated :thumbsup:

cheers.

02 sensors, clean afm, change spark plugs to platnium or iridiums,change oil, depending what rpm you idle at you might have to raise it alittle..... i had same prob in rb25det, eventually it will conk out or nearly conk out.....

i did all of this and the prob went away, but for me i did the 02 sensor last and that completed the solution..... hope this helps, im pretty sure it will

its on the dump pipes that come of the turbo's, you have a gtrso you have 2 dumps with 2 02 sensors

anyway you should change these for better fuel economy, mine was $70 and in a month i have saved about $50 in fuel, i filled up today with $51 where as i'd usually fill up with $70-75 for the same distance...... and the fuel prices have been fairly constant at $1.50-$1.60 for 98 octane fuel.... because there a bitch to take off i just changed the whole dump pipe for a larger one instead of trying to unbolt the old rusty one.

and if you want the idle probs to go away this will help to get rid of it,,,, as i said before, it did the trick in my car, similar engine

interesting....

i also have this problem, my car idles at about 1300rpm but after reving it the revs drop slightly then go back up. I thought it might have been the AAC vavle???

i just had 1 O2 sensor replaced as my exhaust wheel smashed it to pieces lol, shouldve got my mechanic to replace the other 1.

thanks for the input guys. will try to look into it.

btw does a 32gtr have more O2 sensor after the cat converter?

funny thing again is now, when i rev, instead of slightly dropping it slightly jumps up... then goes up as normal.

as for the idle, it actually idle very well. very stable.

problem is only when i rev it ... :ermm:

actually i did accelerate really slowly. so slowly indeed .. and i paid attention at the needle very closely :D

and it doesn't go down anymore .. not even a slight bit .. instead .. it jumps up .. with the same distance as when it used to drop down (around 50 rpm).

Ok it's the detail :) .......

(1) previous cold idle: 1,200 rpm.

(2) starting around two weeks ago, rpm drops when i rev (by 100 rpm from 1,200 to 1,100) then goes up as normal.

(3) 6 Oct: i initially just thought it could be clogged injectors :) . so i just add fuel injector cleaner liquid into fuel tank, the whole bottle into a full fuel tank. that's all i could do as the first step since i was worried :blink:

(4) have used up the almost fuel tank until this Sunday.

(5) 12 Oct: rpm didn't drop when i rev (i guarantee not even a bit..), instead it jumps up (by 100 rpm as well).

the difference also ... idle when cold became 1,100 (whereas previously cold idle was 1,200)

(6) so, revving when cold:

before: 1,200 -> 1,100

now : 1,100 -> 1,200

seems like there is a gap there between 1,100 and 1,200 that rpm just skips.

what do you think :ermm: ?

clean throttle body, change sparks, clean afm, check that there are no leaks in the engine pipes and 02 sensors..... has to be these..... its just general maintenance issues....

same solution for gtst

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
