Hi Guys,

i have a problem with my r34, when i am idling, i turn the steering wheel and the car chokes like hell, its like its misfiring like crazy, its extremely annoying when i reverse park. it only happens every second drive or so.

also when i shift to neutral, while rolling at 80km (speed doesnt matter it happens all the time) the revs slowly creep up to say about 1700 then chokes and goes down to 1000, then soon does it again.

can you please help me with the problem?

obviously you have an idle problem, the reason it chokes when parking is the extra load imposed by the steering pump, it would probably also do strange things if you turn off and on the a/c.

so concentrate on possible reasons for not having a steady idle, stuff like O2 sensor, an air leak eg in BOV, dirty throttle bodies, idle control valve, dirty MAF sensor. Could be bad contacts on a sensor.

anything else wrong apart from idle? eg, when cold, or doesn't have the power it did?

Yeah it feels like it doesnt have the power it did, at the moment i have a black hks ssqv. when the engine is colder, at lower revs, the flutter is slower and the valve doesnt open for the whistle yet. but when i drive, more and when the idle problem kicks in, i can feel like i dont have the pull anymore and the bov flutters only a bit and opens for the whistle earlier.

as for the aircon, i have noticed that there is a wierd noise from the engine bay, it sounds like a weak lamb lol.

can you tell me how to check and where for these problems? i might actually try and block off the bov port, will that f**k up the turbo? maybe it could be a air leak from the bov.

thanks for your help money, really had excellent points that i will check up on.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
