Hey guy,

just been experiencing this issue within the last couple days.....when i step on brake harder, car will goes under-rev at below 1000 rpm (normal idle at approx 2000~4000 rpm), then the handbrake and battery-like light came up...and if i dont step on the pedal to bring up the rev the car went stalled....

stalled has only happened twice so far, but iam still worry about it bcoz it never happen before

Its 2002 350GT-8, i am just about going for 90000km service...anyone got ideas on what might going wrong so i can tell the mech to check/repair

cheers

I had similar problem last year with my M35.

Firstly your idle should be 650rpm +-50. So a max of 700 and a min of 600 when in Neutral. If you idle is up around 2000 rpm it sounds like you have a similar problem.

On the left bank of the motor when looking from the front is the PCV valve. This item is meant to be replaced around the 80k mark and when it fails it makes setting the idle impossible. The item is about $50 from Nissan and can be replaced by anyone including your self.

Have a read of this thread

It is all about what happened with my car.

Once the PCV is replaced they will need to do an idle air learning and idle reset done to the car.

You should also look at cleaning your throttle body as this can also effect the car when you step off the throttle.

I would suggest you do the 2 different things separately so that you can determine what is causing the problem.

whoopppsss.......just noticed I type extra digits for the rev...==' sorry it was early in the morning...

and now i cant edit the original post....

UPDATE:

just been experiencing this issue within the last couple days.....when i step on brake harder, car will goes under-rev at below "100 rpm (normal idle at approx 200~400 rpm)"

so this might rule out the possible PCV issue?

not really.... that idle is too low so some thing is out.

If the idle does not set between 600-700 then the computer does not remember the idle setting and other factors are dictating your idle.

2 factors caused the same problem on my car but I can not tell you which one was more important to fix but both have their issues.

1) the throttle body had a build up of residue that meant when you back off the throttle the butterfly closing meant no air could get around it and the motor stalled as per yours. The butterfly on these cars do not close 100% as there is no idle bypass.

So clean your throttle body and I think you will find this stops the revs dipping.

The second issue is why your idle is not set correctly.

When your throttle body is like this and closes 100% when backed off the car draws air from the only other available source which is the PCV valve. I believe this causes them to not work correctly and they are a part that is meant to be replaced around the 80k mark.

If the PCV allows air to pass through it al low revs it stuffs up the idle setting.

If you want to test if the PCV is faulty you can disconnect the PCV from the manifold, block off both ends, and try to reset the idle. If this gets the idle set correctly (600-700 rpm) then you know the PCV is faulty and you can order a new one.

I hope this helps.

While you are there, as Andy said, clean the throttle body and spray the airflow meter with some cleaner. Either of these could be the problem too.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
