Stalling issue has been present since I purchased the car. Only stalls when I am changing gear and the revs are allowed to drop. It's doesn't happen every time and changing gear really quick is my current work around.

Car also started having an irregular idle bouncing around with out any throttle.

I had seen this before on my old r32 so I figured it was simply the acc valve.

My AFM also would occasionally cut out since i replaced the turbo. Figured removing the AFM had knocked it around and cause dry solder joints.

Soldered the AFM, removed ACC valve and emptied a heap of carbie cleaner on it.

Erratic idle problem fixed and no more afm cut out but the stalling issue is still there.

Before anyone asks i used to have an external venting BOV but it was removed during my turbo installed and am currently not running any BOV.

Any ideas on what is going on?

Stall was also happening when there was a venting BOV. I have a stock BOV laying round i might get a fitting welded to my intake pipe and hook her up.

I dont think this will fix the problem but i have been told by hypergear to put a bov on my car

I suffered this problem for months... It was fixed after a service although I hadn't told the mechanic about the issue... the only non standard thing he did was clean the throttlebody, but since then I've had no such issues. He said it was filthy & clogged. Also noted a slight increase in lower end responsiveness from that service. Worth consideration I suppose...

No BOV and Atmo BOV. Same end result. The measurements from the AFM will be buggered up causing the stalling. (as it does in soooooo many skylines with altered BOV setups.

Plumb in a stocko BOV in the factory location with return pipe running between the afm and turbo inlet and see if that solves your problems before you go hunting too hard for unknowns.

I had this problem with a cracked vacuum line.. Mine was obvious as the vacuum line from the back of the plenum to the stock boost gauge had cracked on the end and thus was no longer connected to the plenum.

So yeah, check vacuum lines if you haven't already..

I had this problem with few R33s I imported years back. This was from Timing belt. Replace your timing belt and adjust engine timing to 10 degrees at idle. Normally this problem goes away.

Also check your idle controller plus vacuum leaks specially the small rubber nipple comes out on the driver side.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
