Have you got an BOV venting to atmosphere? This could be causing the issue if the car is not tuned/tuned correctly.

Also new spark plugs and coilpacks are a good idea, however they are not going to solve your problem of revs dropping and stalling as these are at low load points where you dont require a strong spark. I dont think that will be the issue but its something worth updating anyway.

Clean the AFM and AAC valves and post up if you have an Atmo BOV and if so which one.

Also if you DONT have an atmo bov, and the car has a factory ECU (with no chip, piggyback etc) then perhaps try resetting the ECU. I had my skyline go funny back when it was on stock ECU after I put an atmo BOV on it then took it back off. It did the same thing kept stalling even with the stock BOV back on, and I tried everything and the only thing that fixed it was resetting the ECU

If you want to do that, disconnect the battery and hold your foot on the brakes for about 10 seconds or so then plug the battery back in. But do this only if your sure its the factory ECU with no mods/chips/tunes/piggybacks etc

mine didnt have speed cut and seemed to rev more, but trust me it was definently a stock ECU. Yours is running a high flow but making 173rwkw, which suggests its probably still a standard ECU but I'm not going to say it definently is or definently isnt.

If you can, start the car and when its hunting or trying to stall try placing something over the BOV so no air can escape from it. If this makes your revs settle down then I'd say the BOV will be the issue. HKS make plumback kits for the SSQV's (not sure for which generation they apply to but)

Revs dropping to the point of stalling...I had the same issue with my r32 gtst. Did a diagnostic with my connect cable n ecutalk software. Turned out to be a code 12 (maf sensor) fault. Cleaned out the afm (sensor & the plug, undid 4 screws n pulled the plug out, sprayed inside with carby/tb cleaner) and it fixed my issue. The contact points inside the plug were bogged up...

can someone explain why a rb with no bov will stall more?

Has been covered a million times, air flow is pushed back through the IC pipework (no bov to release pressure), hits the AFM on it's way out of the pod... AFM read's twice the amount of air, chucks in more fuel, stallage.

Doesn't happen to all rb's. there are many people on this forum that don't run bov's and don't have stalling issues.

    • 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.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
