hi guys...2 weeks ago i had a autobox in my cefiro and all run fine...now i got a rb20 manual in there and changed to a r32 ecu(thinking of buying a nistune chip^^)

the car runs really good, like always, idle is fine too when cold and warm...problem is if i drive down the road and try to stop i gotta clutch in lol

everytime i clutch in when downshifting or stopping the engine die >_<>_<>_<

sometimes the rev's drop to about 200-300rpms and then go up to the normal idle of about 600rpms but mostly when i kick the clutch in rev's drop just to zero and engine is dead!:glare:

the car is 100% stock, i got the aftermarked bov out, checked for leaks in the intercooler piping but nothing, idlevalve is cleaned too...

i'm going nuts, so pls community help me out :worship:

Yeah manual is a bit different to auto...takes some getting used to :P

Does it do this after being on boost / off boost / both.

I'd say adjust the TPS unless it's boost related.

hmm i got no air/fuel gauge:(

and i got nothing to adjust too, i can buy nistune when the car is perfect^^...don't wanna buy now and then wait 2 months for money to get the car repaired >_<

lol it's not the first time i drive a manual,...thats not the problem^^

it's not just on boost, sometimes i drive 2000rpm and it dies...

i realize it dies everytime when i drive constant the same rpm a few minutes long and then stop...

btw with boost i got no issus,...it boosts great like always

nope no smoke,...but i think it could run a lil bit rich? maybe normal but i think it smells too much like gasoline out of the exhaust^^

gotta try to find a air/fuel gauge...btw does it has to be a expensive aem or does the cheap ones work too?

watertemp sensor is fine, the one for on the dash is find, but the another one for ecu i don't know how to check?

i love the way the emission fumes smell from Rb's really rich call me crazy lol

But the AEM's are good brand

Good Luck

I would say unless youre planning to go really into the drag and drifting the regular gauges will work fine

I have some regular gauges and they do the job ,been 2 years and no problems

They work well for my everday usage

As for yur problems as nic mentioned try another MAF and look into the mixture

Good Luck

i wanna really drift and use daily,...ok 200usd for these:(

but ok i won't need to buy these 5times a year:D

just ordered one @ aem

btw does it has to be a maf from a cefiro or a random r32 rb20det maf will be good too...

Not sure about the different MAF my advise is take the care where you would be buying it and try it to see if it works

I know some of the skyline MAF's work as they are skyline engines

As for the gauges youre good to go some years on that

If the AFM label is Purple and marked N60...it can be interchanged with Z32 300ZX [N/A only], J30 Maxima, or pretty much any Nissan with a VG30xx engine.

If its label is green, marked J60, it is interchangeable with R32 GTS-T RB20DET

If its not either of those colors let me know...but it should be one of the two, if it's not you got a problem.

i just borrow'd the maf from a friends friend and tested,...the same problem...>_<>_<>_<

now was thinking what i wouldn't need here and saw the cold start valve, here in thailand you won't get under 10degrees except you're on highest mountain here so got that piece of shit out and here we goooooo ideling alot better now :worship:

that f**king thing had a lil crack on it,...

i'm still waiting for the aem uego air/fuel gauge but i see a bit difference between the a31 auto ecu and the r32 manual ecu:

a31 stock ecu:

-idle is a tiny lil bit better

-but i waste a damn lot of gasoline!!! nearly 4 times more than the r32!:pwned:

donno but i think it's running hardcore rich to use that amount of gasoline...i had this one from beginning and car was drinking more fuel than i'm drinking beer in a month:D

-stock rpm gauge won't work with this one,...donno why?

r32:

-rpm gauge works surprisingly (i never touched the wireing!?)

-idle is a lil bit worser than the a31 but still driveable, not that bad...

-fuel economy is reasonable,...very good with that ecu...

from what i've read there shouldn't be a difference...abit confusing :closedeyes:

i had this problem.. give it some stick or even just drive through the gears. clutch it to roll to a stop and it would die.

Cas - advance it just a tad

Vacuum leak - check all lines

Throttle body. give it a good clean and make sure its adjusted properly

  • 2 years later...

I had the same problem on my car when I first got it, it is most likely a vacuum leak.

check and clean your IVAC and ACC also it should be a part of your maintenance anyway

And the simplest way to check for your leak is just to use carb cleaner and listen for a idle change to check for your leak.

Here is a video of what I mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CPqbaSgcok

remember our cars are pretty old at this point so the hoses are just getting old so you might have the smallest crack in your lines so move them around to expose anything and check if they are getting hard.

This might help you out too : http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/174735-fixing-idlestarting-problems-rb25det-cleaning-air-regulator-easy-way/?hl=%2Bclean+%2Byour+%2Bacc

I have a 25 but search around if it is different on your 20

good luck and i hope everything works out!

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
