R33 Gtst Auto Rough Idle

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!

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
