Hi guys,

Recently i've been encountering a few issues with my 97 r33. When pulling up to a light or coming to a stop (or even jst idling for that matter) my cars rpm fluctuates up and down ever so slightly. Sometimes the rpm dips to low enough and the engine cuts off. The problem appears to be getting worse. Now the car feels jerky and sluggish to drive. Also the cars eats a lot more fuel too if that helps. Please help! :(

Thnx, Simon

The car also stalls VERY easily when driving around parking lots!

I have the same problem with my r32 I've been told that it can be coz of the BOV I also have problems when the car is dead cold (first start up) is hard to start and have to use throttle to get it to idle once it is going tho its all good could this be connected ??

that could be your tune^^^ i.e. never tuned for cold start.

Simon, i defintatly say its your BOV's, particualy if you are runing a/m atmo with afm's (no map tune). Stock BOV's are the best anyhow. There are usually a few GTR (compatible with the gtst) ones floating in the classified for ~$50.

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      By thatjawncrazy · Posted

      GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.

      Blue slip

      By Stringycheese · Posted

      Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?

      Should have asked what is the car?

      Blue slip

      By PranK · Posted

      I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
