Hi guys, first I have had a search and can't find any with my problem. Saying that it's not really a problem but something I would like to fix,

I have a r32 gtst, pretty basic, inter cooler, exhaust, splitfire's, boost set to 11 pound, the car runs fine and never misses a beat.

It used to always want to stall when I had my lights on or when cold but cleaning the Valve with the little screw in it fixed that (don't know the name).

So when it idles it will studder not drop revs but studder and not misfire. I'm thinking spark plugs because I haven't changed them since I got the engine or the 02 sensor or vack leaks. Just to be clear the car runs fine but it's just annoying having it idle weird.

Another thing it could be is the cam cover rebreathers I heard if the are not set up properly things can go wrong. On the far right breather I just have a filter from super cheap would that cause it. Just thought I would ask the pros. Thanks

Ok so today I have changed the spark plugs gapped to. 0.8. And did the ghetto approach to the rebreathers. And I unblocked the BOV, I had a plate blocking it so it would flutter, it us venting to atmosphere. So the idle is still shit and now the car will hunt. I will block the BOV again to see if it stops hunting and I noticed a lot of the vacuum hoses are split so I will change them. Also if I want to do the rebreathers properly where does the far right pipe go, I got the car with the filter on it, I have a video of it idling but I can't seem to upload it from my iPod

Ok so today I put the plate back for the BOV and blocked the vac line for it. I also cleaned the dump pipe o2 sensor.

To my surprise there is no more hunting and after I drove the car a little the studdering idle has gone away. I will see tomorrow when it's cold if it has truly been fixed.

Ok so it is still idling funny, I'm going to change the vac lines at when I can be bothered but the valve connected to the rebreathers is making a funny wirling noise since I took the filter off, any idea's why? And should I take it off and ckean it.

You don't actually have any breather then, that pipe (which is supposed to run down the the black concertina pipe at the turbo inlet) is blocked with a bolt?

Have a bit of a think what you've done, the PCV can try to remove blow-by gasses when there's manifold vacuum, but not once there's manifold pressure.

Yeah that's bad mmmkay.

Look for pics of stick setups and do that.

In the second pic is that short hose blocked it open? If open it would be causing the dud idle . If blocked it would be preventing crank case pressure escaping when on boost. Which will blow seals out and the dipstick.

It should be plumbed back into the turbo intake as jiffo said.

If it's open, put your thumb over it to block it and see if that helps the idle. That will stop it drawing In unmetered air.

It's not hard to make these engines idle correctly.

In the second pic that is the BOV. Vac line that is blocked with a bolt, I will put the breather pipe back into the turbo intake next time I'm in Perth. Thanks for the help so far.

I can't count sometimes. I meant third pic!

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @GTSBoy yeah i know it was not the "great" idea but it is and option...but i think i will stay on no BoV rather then trying to make it work with "half" this and that. But that GReddy FV2 is cool...i like that you can make it like stock if you want (and have/make the custom pipes) For other thanks! it was alot of information. But for the sound...a dont rly "like" both of them...specialy if they are loud...but if i "must" choose i would rather have little whooosh rather than sutututu with no BoV....BUT that is what is i gonna get. So for the all info i gather. In my case:  No BoV is not that bad cuz it is stock...and iam used to put N/clutch right after rpms are around 1000 so it should be ok...just need to avoid "big" drops. But i do not have the engine in the car so i do not really know how "bad" or good it is. But as i had that little test drive it looked ok. The atmo BoV should be worse car would dump to much fuel specialy between the shifts...so without proper tune/ECU i dont want that. BUT with that...car should drive ok with no problems right? (i do like there is less piping wih this solution) 🙂

      Usually an RB20 won't stay in closed loop idle anyway. The O2 sensor gets too cold, stops swinging.

      They aren't, but it depends on what interests you about an R32-R34. If it's the front engine I6 turbo that tunes well with a manual transmission an E92 335i 6MT is so incredibly cheap. You can get a super clean one for 20-25k USD tops. Put an LSD in it, tune it, have fun with it. If it's the general idea of AWD + turbo and a manual transmission the 996 Turbo is absolutely much more expensive, it's less practical but it's also basically a complete track-ready car from the factory. At least the Mezger doesn't have heaps of oil control issues. And in the US the 996 Turbo and R33 GTR are roughly the same price these days. 996 maybe a bit more now that the hype has abated for old Skylines here.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      Best kept secret for seized bolts is crayons... Heat the sucker up with a torch, and push/melt crayon into it. Works a wonder. See if I can go 2 from 2 for you on how to get your bolts out...
