Why Does My R33 Hate Air Con?!

Hey All,

I have a 1996 R33 Series 2 which hates having the air con running! I have noticed that whenever it is on the car seems to miss on idle, kind of feels/sounds like it runs on three cylinders for a brief second. When the air con is off idle is perfect and I have no issues. Does anyone know what might be the cause of this? I had an ac idle up valve problem in my GT4 so am wondering if this might be the cause?

Any advice on what to investigate would be greatly appreciated :) I do have broken manifold stud bolts which are being taken care of this weekend but not sure if that is contributing in anyway.

Thanks

Em

My 34 hates having the air-con running too. For some reason it effects the way my clutch engages? makes it

very difficult to shift and I also get the odd effect on my idle too, only drops rpm slightly but you can feel it stumble through the whole car.

I haven't got a clue whats wrong with it. The aircon is super cold and it still revs out okay.

Thanks guys! Cleaned the iac valve etc. Actually ran diagnostic codes and found out water temp sensor is faulty and for some reason the cold start valve wasnt even connected properly! Hopefully those things fixed will help at least! Haha weird isn't it re ur R34? Mine feels like it almost drops a cylinder occasionally on idle!

Hey Sparks, damn not yet! I actually cleaned my coolant temp sensor n the code went away- weird!! But it's still idling like ass now without air con :( haven't tried with air con tho! I assume worse lol. I did mess with the idle screw but it was shit before then. I'm wondering if throttle body or TPS maybe?

Hahaha ok well your Honda story makes me feel a bit better!

Sucks cos the car drives absolutely perfect otherwise :(

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
