So im new here, and to Skylines in general.

Not sure if this the right section, but here goes.

Quick run down on car,

1993 S2 R33

RB25DET manual

Pod Filter

3" cat back exhaust

rest is stock.

Problem is.

its very hard to start first thing of the day, sorta like a carby car you gotta hold the throttle while cranking. once it kicks in the revs will jump to around 1200 till warm. rest of day its 1 crank start.. weird.

Once warm the idle drops to 900, all seems sweet. Till you touch the throttle slightly, the revs drop and you can actually make the car stall by doing this. press throttle slightly more and it will spring to life, sorta feels like a flat spot from 900-1000?. if you give it a slight rev to say 3-4k and back off the revs will drop to 500ish and then bounce back too 900 and hunt around the 750-950 mark. couple small revs to "clear it out" and she idles fine at 900.

Now before this the idle was hunting around the 500-900 mark, i pulled the ACC assembly out as per the DIY on here. cleaned it all, followed the idle reset guide and waaam, the idle is great at a solid 900. but then it came back :(

Im at a loss to what to check next? im thinking give the AFM a clean as per the guide on here,

Also curious if coil packs will cause such a issue?

Any help is appreciated, or links, guides, directions ect.

Catch can has been bought, ive noticed a little oil in intake and pipes for cooler.

I was thinking when its sitting there idle a little oil gets in, got to hit the gas and the oil has cover plugs slightly? is that possible?

On a weird note, turning the AC on removes this issue though it only bumps idle to 1050ish. enough to pass "flat spot".. its how ive been driving ATM otherwise it feels like it will conk out, or splutter when i go to take off.

will the AFM cause the bad cold start? im assuming not

cleaned the AFM, installed catch can and a FMIC.

runs soooo much better now. still after a big rev idle will drop to 500 and bounce back to 900 and sit there.

cold starts still a hassle, time to clean the cold start valve thingy under manifold???

AAC auxiliary air control, is the one under the plenum.. used for cold starts etc.. and has that hose connected to the crossover pipe

IAV Idle some valve is the one attached to the side of the plenum, used for idle

  • 3 weeks later...

Still hard to start in morning,

i have to attempt to start it 4-5 times, then a little pedal work to get it to actually start. then it will hover at 500rpm for 2-3 seconds, then cold valve kicks in and bam, 1800rpm for warm up.

Idle is perfect now,

If your car starts fine in the cold with the pedal pressed a little, it seems like your AAC (under the plenum) is playing up. The IAV only controls idle NOT high idle for cold starts.

You say stock, but you don't have an aftermarket BOV do you?

Sounds like a couple of problems.

1 - Slight leak in the vacuum lines (remove each line from the plenum during fast idle and if removing one doesn't make a difference then it's probably leaking).

2 - Get some upper engine cleaner (Nulon). Follow the directions on the can. But you don't need to bother with the squirting into the pistons, etc. Just clean the plenum and AAC/IAV.

HINT use a fast idle for both of the above ~1200rpm: Get a folded piece of paper or business card and use it as a slight spacer ~2mm on the throttle body. (Between the throttle stop and the accelerator cable). Gives you a nice fast idle ~1200rpm.

Yeah stock BOV mate, it makes a noise why replace it? haha

Yeah i may just get some vacuum line and replace what i can anyway.

How do i go about getting the AAC off from under the plenum? not much room to work around.

get a small 1/4" socket set and an uni-joint.. you'll manage, after some beers and loads of swearing :)

    • Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)  
    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.

    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
