I've searched far and wide and have no idea what's wrong. I suspected the AFM, but that's fine, O2 Sensor's are fine as well as they have been recently changed and I just cleaned the AAC valve less than 2 months ago. I've replaced most vac hoses and there doesn't seem to be a leak... Also, the spark plugs are new, gaped at 0.8mm and the coilpacks are fine and I'm only running 7psi boost anyway. The rough idle started when I removed an aftermarket boost gauge and plugged up the vac line going to it.

So what is happening is, when I start her up, she sits on her normal idle for about 10 seconds, then she starts choking, and drops down from 850 to 500 and back up to 850 and this repeats until however long it takes for her to catch. I can rev her up a little and make her catch but she will splutter again and again. Driving her seems fine, no problems what so ever, it's when she gets to slow speeds (5km/hr or under) or idling it starts to choke and splutter. I have no idea what's going on :( and it's really annoying me. Any help would be grateful! Thank you in advance.

EDIT: Will also mention, she isn't blowing any coloured smoke, no black, no blue and no white, she is running fine. Injectors sound normal as well, and there isn't any misfires of any sort. Temperatures are fine and the stuttering and spluttering happens anytime it's at low speeds or idle, it's worse when it is cold (obviously).

Found the problem, when the mechanic went to change the condenser out for me whilst I was at work, he forgot to plug in one of the vac lines and because it was black on black, it was almost invisible -_-

TIP FOR OTHERS: CHECK ALL FRIGGIN' VAC LINES TO SEE IF THEY'RE CONNECTED!

    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
