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.

    • 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.
