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

It is runing the factory ecu but it's been chiped far as I no coz it dose not have speed cut and revs out more and it has a hks ssqv type1 bov.... I will list the mods done to the car witch most of them was already done to the car when I got it

(rb20det)

hks ssqv

hks front mount

turbosmart boost T

hks pod filter

2.5" twin champer dump pipe

3" exhuast

r33 turbo that has been high flowed and has a garrat gt35

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)

Hi im am having the same problem when i accelerate to red line then take my foot off the accelerator the car drops and the whole engine shakes.

I have stock ecu,turbo,fmic,turbo exhaust.

i took my car to be diagnosed today but couldn't find the problem. The fuel pump,air flow meter,cas, has been checked and still having same problem..........

I'm sick of wasting time and money can anyone help.

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.

    • 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?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
