Warm Idle Breakdown

Hey Guys,

Got a problem with my car atm that is doing my head in. It's a Series 2 R33 GTS-T with the only mods being a full exhaust.

Basically what is happening is when the car has reached its normal operating temp, (about half way on the temp gauge) when i stop at a set of lights for example it will idle fine for a minute but then the revs will drop from say 7-800 down to around 500 so the car feels like it is going to die, and then pick back up again.

Also when it is doing this if i put my foot on the throttle just slightly the car will almost stall out before coming back more aggressively to try and stay alive.

The car has been lacking its usual power lately and seems to be hesitant at certain stages throughout the rev range.

I have done a full wet and dry compression test, the dry coming up as 155 - 157 across all 6 and the wet as 175-176 across all the cylinders so i know thats all good.

Im considering taking it to someone with a cable to plug in and see if any error codes are coming up.

Would be a great help if anyone could suggest anything.

Cheers

BOV leak and not fully closed? Throttle position Sensor up the poo or loose and its moving. There only little screws holding it.

Just a few thoughts. Not sure if it will help you.

:D Doobs, that fixed the warm idle problem! car is sooo much smoother especially when i come on and off the throttle.

Still having problems getting full power i think i need to check on my afm though i only cleaned it a few weeks ago... Car seems hesitant to pull hard through the rev range :)

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
