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?

      Garrett G Series

      Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.

      Sweet, yeah hoping stock gears will hold up. May use the transbrake feature on hill climb starts so that will test it.

      Been down in Tassie for 2 weeks (a cruise, not a race for once) but spent a little time on her when I got back. I worked out the injector settings in the PowerFC were not correct for nismo 555s, set those to 66% +10ms and added a little air at closed throttle, set the timing (approximately, because it has some weird non 15o cells around idle) and now she starts and idles properly. She purrs like a kitten (ignore the co2 alarm in the background, I did  ) 20250518_171052.mp4 Next step, off for run-in, tuning and alignment!
