Hi

I've just changed the plugs on my series 2 R33 rb25det, and even though I'm not mechanically great it wasn't that hard, as I took my time and worked my way through it.

I also coated the coil packs with high temp silicone, after readig some posts.

Went with NGK BPR7ES-11 after reading some posts on here.

Cleaned the air filter as well. It has seemed to make a huge difference, the miss I was getting on boost has completely gone, and the car seems to have more power quicker.

The only problem is it is stalling sometimes as I decelerate, The car starts and idles fine at about 600 rpm, goes really well, just has this intermittent stalling issue.

I rechecked all the vacuum hoses, is it something i may have done, or is it totally unrelated.

Should I look at the AFM or 02 sensor?

Any ideas or thoughts appreciated.

what mods do you have? unless you have an aftermarket turbo then the 7 plugs will be too cold, and while they may be fine now, you may find that in a few weeks if you sit in traffic a bit it will start to run a bit rough as the plugs start to foul up a bit. for standard turbo applications heat range 6 plugs are the way to go. even small aftermarket turbo applications where the car is mostly used as a daily heat range 6 is the way to go.

as for the stalling issue, it may be related to the IAC and AAC valve. this often causes a stalling issue. also if you have an atmo bov then it will also be making this issue worse.

adjust the idle screw anti-clockwise to raise your idle slightly, to around 700 - 750rpm when warm. it will be fine after that.

i just changed my plugs and my idle was slightly lower than before. not stalling or anything, but with the headlights on it would drop a little too low for my liking.

i found a split in my breather hose, which i fixed when i changed my plugs. my guess is that slight leak may have been enough to raise the idle by 50-100rpm. dunno. maybe not.

7's will be fine if you're running around 200kw or higher, say 12psi on stock turbo. theyve been recommended by plenty of tuners/mechanics for this application.

p.s. i drive my car like a granny 70% of the time, and i run 7's. when i change my plugs, they dont look fouled at all.

To my knowledge the only mods are a front mount intercooler, and a K & N type pod filter. The turbo is stock and running pretty much stock boost.

is the idle screw near the throttle cable? sorry m a total noob at this, but can follow instructions like youtube tutorials etc. I have basic mechanical skills.... very basic Lol!

Its actually a very stock car, i bought it off an chinese exchange student who could barely speak english or drive it when he went back home.

the idle screw is on the IAC valve at the back of the plenum. i know that you will read that bit about the IAC valve and just have a blank look on your face so i will tell you what and where it is, LOL.

if you stand at the drivers side front wheel (with the bonnet open obviously, LOL) and look at the intake plenum, towards the back (closest to the firewall) you should see a few plugs and on the same bit a phillips head screw. that is the idle screw. to properly adjust the idle though you can't simply just wind that screw in and out as the ecu will try to counter what you are doing. to properly adjust the idle you need to have the car warm, turn it off, unplug the throttle position sensor (plug on the throttle body with wires coming out of it), start the car again, revi it over 3000rpm a few times in a few seconds (think it's 3 times in 5 seconds) and then you have the car locking into base idle mode. then set the idle to where you want it, turn the car off, plug back in the TPS and you are done.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
