I got a problem with my rb20 when im changing down gears say from 3rd to 2nd in the space of time when my foot in on the clutch the car sometimes stalls, its like it doesnt catch the idle when its about 1000rpm between the gear change.

If someone could shed some light on it that would be great

Probably your Blow off valve, is it venting to atmosphere?

I had same problem, bought a Turbosmart Plumback and fixed the problem.

Then again, could be something different. Usually happened to me when slowing down to a complete stop anything above 70kms

I had the same prob with a gold gtst I brought with a top mount to4e but it would do it more often that your issue everytime stopping at the lights!!, tried \ by passed everything!! :

coils ,iac valve , vac leaks, fuel issues, ecu , pcv valve, no bov , new bov, timing , even setting idle to 1500rpm, air flow meter , checked cam belt ,correcting the tps helped ,

worked out it was : "reverberation " where the air flow meter was too close to the turbo I spaced it out with coiled induction pipe and problem solved I was planning on mounting air flow meter and pod where the stock cooler was for cold air intake and help with stalling issue , I didn't believe it could be the issue but it was.

my gtr with gt35 does it a lil bit but hardly ever, iac doesn't work would help mine map sensor would also fix it

if above is no the issue try check for vac leaks again and block off the pcv valve and the other pipe going to before the turbo, vent rockers to atmosphere, unplug idle valve and set idle manually to 1000-1200rpm to rule out a few possible faulty parts \ issues

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
