Just trying to figured out if my RPM dropping problem is ''normal'' due to having a modded skyline gtr or this could be due to a vacuum leak somewhere.

Basicly what happens is when i lift off the clutch on a stop, the rpm usually wants to drop by about 500 rpms. So I usually end up ''sliding'' the clutch to minimise the rpm drop or else the car might just stall.

The problem is even worst when i try launching at 4-5k. as soon as i lift the clutch, the rpm goes down to like 1.5k. Is this normal or I'm having a problem ?

For reference, I'm running on map with one atmo blitz bov ( i guess this could be my problem ?).

Yes it's normal

Hold it at 7 and side step the clutch the revs will drop but the car accelerate and the revs will begin to climb again as full traction is retained when it get back to 7 grab 2nd

Unless it really dies away in which case you've bogged it down and need more revs but 7 seems to be the number in most cases

So your talking about bogging down on launch?

Yep more RPM.

And a little tip, dont run a lightened flywheel, it makes life worse, heavy flywheels add momentum and push to the driveline to get you out of the hole.

well.. this is already done im afraid.. os giken TS clutch with the flywheel.

And thanks for confirming what I thought lol.. I'm not reving enough. will try next time I go to the dragstrip, I must say tho that I didn't had my 4wd working last time so i wanted to minimise the wheelspin, actually. Maybe I was doing it wrong.

Exactly throw mechanical sympathy out the window

dial in 7,000rpm,

pull your foot off the clutch as fast as possible and mash the accelerator into the floor and hold on,

when the revs swing back to 7 grab 2nd

Kml. This happened to me the first time I launched a gtr. I just got pissed off and tried to kill the thing after a 5k launch didnt work. Thats when I learned that all they like is revs. For me keep it 100rpms under redline or fuel cut. Then pop the clutch and let the bitch rip. For years I tried to beat a gtr with a gtst and never could, but the day I got a good launch in a gtr, I said right away to myself. I need an official drag strip with track bite to beat a grt off the line, and to the 1320 feet mark. Gtrs are truly street kings mate, at least for me.

Piss the atmo BOV off and it should stop the stalling when coming to a stop. The problem is the AFM is registering a certan ammount of air passing through it and then your dumping it out of the system and screwing up the tune

As for launching, its trial and error

I agree. This is a big topic and if ya want the atmo bov the get a ecu that support that type of bov. Like a djetro power fc etc. Otherwise thats whats happening. There are just to much people that dont understand the system. Dont change the system that nissan designed just upgrade it. Vent it back in properly and it will stop dieing.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
