Hey everyone,

My 96 R33 GTS-T has a bit of an idle problem when I'm doing low speed manuvers, such as reverse parking, drive thru and maccas, etc. My mechanic told me that my car thinks it is going to stall, so when I am doing these low speed manuvers the rpm seems to jump up for a few seconds, then it calms down, or if I give it a rev it will also calm down.

What I came here to ask is what does everyone's idle sit at? mine sits at 500rpm when the car is warm, where most cars I believe sit around 800rpm. Before I go ahead and adjust my idle speed I thought I would check what rpm everyone else's car sits at when warm.

I tried searching for the answer for my question previously but could not find it.

thanks for any help, Dylan.

yeah thanks everyone, sounds like mine is sitting a bit too low. Is it easy to adjust it yourself or should I let my mechanic do it? I'm used to Hondas where there is just a little screw on the throttle body you need to turn which is very easy to get to.

if you pop the bonnet and then look at the intake plenum from the drivers side of the car. at the back of it (near the firewall) you should see a phillips head screw. that is the idle screw.

here's a pic i just found.

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
