Hi guys, just wanted to get some info or thoughts on my R33, its a series 2. Ive only had the car a few months and noticed its got an idle issue, this issue isnt full time, it mostly occurs when being driven for half hour or so (completely warmed up). When i stop at traffic lights or pull into my garage it has a slight hesitation if the accelerator is stabbed quickly., (to say i was creeping forward in traffic). Once it recovers the idle drops below 500rpm and struggles then goes back up to about 800-1000rpm and sometimes it even stalls. Ive also noticed there is a clicking noise when the accel pedal is pushed in when this is happening.

My other issue is a small backfire between gear change, 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th. Its a slight pop but sometimes louder than others. It doesnt pop when on near to full boost or if completely off boost. Sort of mid range 0-3 PSI. Also is this backfiring doing any damage?

Mods of the car are-

3in cat back exh

Blitz SUS filter

Blitz BOV

Turbosmart T boost (8PSI)

Other than that its stock. I run Vortex 95 and 98 in it. Any help would be good.

Why does a bov interupt the idle ? wouldnt it be a full time issue if this is the case ?

on decel the car richens up, stock BOV or plumb it back, don't ask questions :thumbsup:

See im confused now, because the first part of the post is perfectly matched to my car, only i have stock bov. When my car gets warm it will sometimes drop really low in revs, sometimes even stall with the very slightest of a touch on the accelerator. Not a problem at all when you take off normally as such, i mainly noticing it when parking or reversing etc, where its only very little throttle.

When i bought the car it used to basically miss or stall all the time when slowing down with the clutch in, but after cleaning the aac valve it is now only with slight throttle pushes..

Sorry for the hijack, but nothing came up in search and i didnt get around to my own thread.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
