Okay, hi everyone

My s1 r33 gtst does this wierd thing, usually at cold start, it will rev high, like around 1500 rpm to 2k and wont come down. Either it just stays there for a while and comes down to normal when the engine heats up or it never comes down. What i noticed is that if i turn the car off and then on again, it goes back to normal idle (regardless of how cold the engine is). This has happened for a long time and has me confused.

Ive changed the throttle body, IAC complete unit, TPS, cleared all vacuum leaks and changed the crank position sensor.

Also what i notice is that when its in this "high rev" mode it kinda sounds like nothing is blowing through my exhaust when down shifting and leaving it in gear. but when i turn it off and back on again (while driving), its fine!

thats as best as I could explain it, found it a bit hard to explain to mechanics, but yeah, if any ones experienced this before, how did you deal with it? and would it pose a big problem?

Any info would be great, thanks

Ben

<br />cold start.... till your thermostat closes... normal<br />
<br /><br /><br />

ok, I understand,, the only thing thats worrying me is my exhaust sounding like nothin comin through it.sometimes I have to turn it off and on a few times while driing for the car to sound normal. Sometimes happens as well when the engines warm. It would be normal, i'd turn it off, do something, come back and tun it on and it would do it agian. Maybe a blocked cat converter but i dunno

Well wat I have is not 100% like wat you are describing. The car revs high at about 1600-1800 rpm wen its cold and than it gradually drops down when the car is warm. Mechanic says that is due to big injectors and the way it's tuned on the Apexi Power FC. If you have big mods than I guess that what it is.

I think its normal. Mine Does that all the time. and my Exhaust doesnt sound loud no matter how much i Rev it. When the Engine gets Warm it sounds Louder and Sweet and Idles at 700RPM and very smooth too.

I asked the Guyz at the workshop and they sed its normal.

Well I hope you find the problem, If it is a problem, it could be just your injectors or something. Good Luck

Ok well I'll get my injectors looked at. Also just wanted to ask. You know how the injectors are in line? now, just in front of them is this thing that looks like a but nut or something. Its got a connection coming out of it and that connection connects to the tps as well. What is that thing? And i think theres something wrong with it coz it constantly makes a ticking noise. Might this have anything to do with my problem?

Thanks a lot for the input guys

I'm honestly not sure, cause I got an RB25 NEO and the Injectors, and the layout is different.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
