So i've had this a few times now, most recently the last couple of days. S2 R33 rb25det automatique', mostly stock- fmic, exhaust, 3deg retard on cam gear, iridium plugs in whatever stock range is, 6 or something,& tomei fuel pump. Not really been driving the car at all except to and from work in peak hour for the last week, alot of idling time and light throttle. Car started running and idling like ass, coughing/spluttering like it had lung-aids or something. Boost gauge drops from idling around -81 to -65 whenever this happens. I'm madly checking for vac leaks, misfiring coils, faulty cas, afm, oxy etc, can't find anything. So I take it out and cain the crap out of it tonight with a few full throttle runs and basically giving it a bit on an extended drive, and what do you know, back to pulling -81 at idle and running much better.I'm putting it down to fouled plugs or maybe injectors overdue for a clean....So this is what the rb25's love, a good bit of throttle, none of this touchy feely treat me gently shite?

They love it in and around their intake

that would explain the....buildup...... that i've seen in the intake manifold

my guess is you were driving it like a nancy boy and the car was rejecting you
I treat my cars like I treat your mum...get inside her twice a day and take her to heaven and hell and back..

oh man....it's obviously not impressing your car, check the light on the ecu, it'll be flashing pink, which is the nancy fault

i have got nearly same issue but car turns off when on idle like as soon as i push the clutch this happens when hot, i have friends saying injectors need a clean and new spark plugs because they would be rot from too much heat because of the injectors that are stuffed car sounding like shit atm. i drive the like pretty much like nancy boy every day but give it a flog once in a while lolz but no time to take it out but it couldnt be because of that?

if you hit the shit out of your turbo with a cane at least 3 times a week it'll make the motor stronger and might even net you some kw

Im guessing thats an asian father type encouragement

*hit him with book to make him smarter*

*whip him with caine like animal to make him faster*

I understand.

atmo blow off valve is your trouble buddy

when i was a kid in school, id ask my asian friends why they flog me in the maths tests

they said coz their dads would flog them with the maths text book if they didnt

aint no dictionary big enough to have fixed that test tho, fkrs.

so anyway back on T for this mofo. So the next day car was running like shite again...pulled the plugs and no signs of fouling, in fact some might say a little toooo clean. Gave it the ol' rev-ism a bit more and all good so I have NFI. Anyway have dude coming to clean injectors so will see if that makes sweet f/a difference.

i fixed my car turning off issue and it was the coilpack harness now it just sounds like shit car all shakeing and stuff please let me know if it ur injectors because i will also get mien clean but i think i got exhaust leaks i think i should fix that o2 sensor off the cat first, so if your injector clean dont work try a different coil pack harness, i only noticed because car seemed like it was searching for something like you hear slight rev change on idle, after the coilpack harness change i havent got that issue and it doesnt shut off on me no more :D

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
