As per Cam's solution this will work if that seems to be the problem. I already had the fuel pumb earthed when I got the incosistent idle and stalling.

Solution 2: Reset your TPS (Throttle Position Sensor)

1: Locate your TPS and make sure it is easy to disconnect the loom plug.

2: With you bonnet up un car, start your engine

3: Rev engine to 3000 rpm then return to idle

4: Repeat step 3 two more times

5: With engine still running disconnect your TPS (BEWARE FAN BLADES)

6: Reconnect TPS and your problem should be solved.

If your car stalls at step 5, try whole process again, if it stalls again you have a faulty TPS, replace and all should be good.

This made a huge differenct to general running my S13 (SR20DET) and solved my low or inconsistent idle and stalling problems. I do not know if this will work on skylines, but what have you got to loose it's FREE :)

Regarding disconnection of TPS at idle, I never actually had to reset my computer. I did have the same problem twice a couple of months apart, I think this was due to accelerator cable stretching. If the problem re-occurs just try it again.... After all what have you got to loose (apart from your pinky on the fan blade :)(

The TPS is your throttle position sensor, if you look under your bonnet and find your accelerator cable. This cable should turn the shaft in your throttle body, at the other end of this shaft is the TPS. Sorry no pics but hope this helps?

    • Haven’t had the chance to drive it yet with work being a nightmare, will definitely be doing that at some point this week. got these so that grip won’t be an issue at roll racing  
    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
