Hey I had/have (not sure if it's still happening b/c I learned to drive in such a way it didn't happen) this problem with I bought my 33GTS-T

Basically if you just start getting on boost (>3200rpm or something) then put the clutch in the rev counter will fall all the way to 0 and your engine will die, is this right?

Two things you can do to to avoid the stalls:

- When you think your driving might cause this to happen, blip the throttle after you go into neutral/put the clutch in, and it'll stop the engine from dying

- If it does die and you're still rolling (even a little) just drop the clutch whilst in second gear and it'll force the engine to turn over and spring back to life.

Very annoying problem when I first got the car. A year later and it doesn't seem to happen anymore, but I'm not sure if that's because I just adjusted my driving to avoid it or in the 3x services between then they fixed it unknowingly.

yeah exactly my problem ae.. to the tee i got a 32 tho

umm yeah thats what ive been doing hey just dropping the clutch but i wanna try fix the problem..

i find it happens wen the engine is a bit cold so i warm it up befor i drive it but then sometimes just randomly wen i clutch it round a corning it will just die and the steering goes all hard so i just drop the clutch

not a clue wot could be causing it tho??

nah exactly like how i said it.

put the foot down every now and again usually its alright but sometimes wen i putt my foot down for a few seconds then hold the clutch for a bit its just dies.. reves drop from where ever its at at the time then drops to 0 and dies.

it happened once wen the engine was cold so i warm it up before i drive it but sitll does the same thing even wen i been driving for half an hour or so.

any ideas mate?

yup ive got a bov that isnt plumed into the air box or anything jsut straight into the atmosphere ..

what can i do to fix that? jut plumb it into the air box or wot?

The main issue is that the AFM is getting an incorrect signal due to the registered intake charge blowing off.

You need to use either a hybrid BOV which vents both to the atmo and recirculates (which still isn't a 100% fix) or replace the stock bypass valve and return the charge to the system after the AFM so it doesn't overfuel.

Yeah basically it is overfueling because the ECU is reading* air that isn't there.

On a side note, wtf are you clutching in around a corner? you should always go around corners in gear with clutch out.

This has just started happening on my car last night.

However the IDLE of my car is extremely rough. At idle, my car is missfiring that badly, it sounds like a 350 with the lumpiest possible cam it in. Yet while driving at anything above 1750RPM, it wont miss a beat.

Any ideas? I have read that it may be worth cleaning the AAC valve, however i do not believe that it is the coil packs or plugs, as if they were not funcitoning correctly, my car would missfire throughout the entire revrange. At idle, there is more resistance than while revving....

I have no idea why it wont idle properly/missfires like a b!tch....

Well it has been missfiring on idle for a few days last night, so i'm more concernced about that.

I have checked that, and all vacuum hoes are connected.....any other ideas lol?

Could it be my stock AFM is screwed?

New spark plugs went in about 1500-2000kms ago, copper plugs. Have always used NGK copper plugs (cant remember the code for the plug) and have never had any trouble.

AAC valve? Coil packs? Piston rings? I dont know what it could be >.<

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
