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.

    • Hi guys my TPS voltage is reading over 2v at idle.  My Haltech ECU is reading around 40% throttle position at idle also which is really strange. Note the actual throttle position sensor is brand new…    anyone have any experience with this or know how to calibrate it on Haltech ? 
    • The OEM disk will not work on any AEM ECU, you need to use the one they made. You shouldn't have to flip the CAS or whatever you were describing, if you set the ignition sync offset correctly it can't backfire. Make sure you're using a spark plug lead on coil 1 instead of the timing loop to avoid weird issues with the timing light. Double check that your timing settings are actually correct, like is the 24 tooth configured correct or should it actually be 12 teeth for 1 crank revolution? I also found this: 305817248-AEM-Undocumented-Settings-v1-2.pdf    
    • Yeah, I don't believe the M35 uses a deadhead system.
    • Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.
    • Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).
