hi all... i have had my r33 for about a yr..loving it..except.. whent to new mechanic.. supposed to be a good mechanic..with lots of knowledge on my car...as i dont know anything about cars AT ALL!!!! told him i wanted to make it a bit better, he recommended pod filter, computer chip, intercooler and gettn better exhuast system...when i first got the car...it was supposed to be completely stock..but since i have found out it had a blitz bov...so i got mechanic to turn it up (if thats what you call it, sorry complete car noob)an i got i got a r33 blitz pod filter!?... but after that i just kept stalling, slight revs..eg when at lits the idle/revs..jumping a bit ..that was 5weeks ago...ive been a way..so last week asked him fix.. as far as i could tell he turned idle up, kept doing it...so TODAY.....iv takn out there..now it feels more powerful,but idle stills up there..almost idling at 1thousand revs...and he said that they had blocked/bov...put sumthing over it.. the turbo gauge inside the car seem so be right up there now as for what ever he has done...it seems to have power, an over 3.5thousand revs..the bloody car shakes.. ive tried to explain everthing as best i can...but if anyone has anything i could say bk to my mechanic plz let me know, or if i havent explained it well enough..i will try again... cheers ps..this is my r33 anyway...hey!! i like it..

One thing that's confusing is where you say you have a blitz bov (blow off valve) and you turn it up? Do you mean you lessened the tension on the spring so it let air out easily? Or do you mean you have a boost controller and turned that up?

If you have the blow off valve, the problem is that. It's venting air to the atmosphere that the ECU thinks is going into the engine, and it is adding fuel to compensate... but since that air ISN'T in the engine, there is too much fuel, and it is flooding the engine, causing you to stall...

The best way to fix it is to go back to a recirculating bov as it was when it was standard, but then you lose the noise that comes with a bov.

Hope this helped a bit :P

yes it must have been lessening the tension...as it was that hssssh noise i was after, sorry im tryn to explain best as i can...but when i went to him today, all i said was put the blow off valve back to the way it was...but as i said he said, basically the BOV is stuffed, somthing like that an that he had blocked it, i assume so the air cant get out, no hsssss, hey all i want was it to stop stalling...thanx you for your advice though,,but its hard...as i say to my machanic...i know nothing about cars...but i know how my car feels and drives..

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
