the last few months i've had nothing but problems with my R33 . Right now i've got this stupid idle issue when the car is hot, not when its cold. What the car does is it starts fine and revs and a nice steady rate, but as soon as you blip the throttle anywhere past 3000rpm the revs go under 500 to around 0 then bounce up to 500 then back to 0 sounding like a rotory and pissing black smoke trying to save stalling then it goes back to normal. Ive cleaned my AAC Valve 2 times with good carby cleaner , new gasket for the AAC valve , New Plenum gasket , Ive cleaned the throttle body and i've positioned the TPS to what is says in Nissan RB25 workshop manual which is 0.40v. I've got a brand new Bosch 02 genuine and just bout done everything . I've searched every forum and NOBODY is having the same issues! .. I've adjusted idle with the gay TPS unplugged like it says in idle and im running PowerFC so i cant adjust it on the ECU .

NOW the only way to stop the rev hunting issue when i rev the car is to adjust that scew thingo that pushed the Butterfly open or closed on the throttle body , so my car revs at 1500RPM and eveything is fine! it revs nice and comes straight back and sits on the rev and doesnt drop! . The car even feels better to drive as it doesnt stall when i boost 1st gear and then back to neutral ..

But the only issue i dont want my freakin car to idle at 1500!!! i want it to idle at 750RPM at the most..

Not one mechanical workshop knows what im talking about and probably half you guys wont but there must be a solution before i run this car off the cliff and sell the scrap

I already moved that thing!! where should it be? it doesnt state it in the manual??? and i already said i cleaned the AAC Valve 2 times? and i mean really cleaned it with freakin cotton wool buds and carby clean+ compressed air! .. what else can contribute?

its your blow off valve and its called pcf disease . do a search

how about you do a search under the description i have wrote? you wont find shit! i just want my freakin car to work and my blow off valve was blocked off in the test and did the same thing , i just tried my stock one and it is the same so its not that

My car did a similar thing with warm starts with the PowerFC where it would hunt. I ended up using datalogit to try to relearn the start up procedure but it got worse. Took it to the tuner and they said it was leaning out which was causing the problem. They fixed it up and ever since its been fine.

its either your bov or if you have bloked off your bov and the recirc pipe is bloked off aswel it will do this just set ur idle to like 800 from the powerfc settings not the way you did and it will be alright

I have had a similar problem on 2 occasions

1) it was an air leak, check all your piping

2) dead airflow meter and busted wiring to the AFM

Cant promise your case is the same but it would be worth checking out

there is a new thread every week along these lines . its either an air leak ( block the afm and pump up the whole system with air compressor ) or its power fc disease . it it to do with air reversion back out the air flow meter . when you rev it up engine sucks in air when you let off the air has to go somehwere some goes out the blow off valve or in your case it all goes backwards out the air flow meter and as the air flow meter and ecu dont know the difference between air flowing in and air flowing out it sees air going in and puts lots of fuel in .

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
