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?

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
