Hi guys, I have a 32 GTR with a few mods, nistune, 34 afms, unsure on turbos (only just got the car), built motor, 34 crank, camtec cams, etc etc,

The car is running very rich and stalls when I come up to a set of traffic lights, it is running standard bovs, would a vacuum leak cause this to happen? What is generally the cause of a vac leak in an RB26? Are there any common hoses that deteriorate quicker than others?

Thanks!!!

Vac leak would make it run lean when off boost if the leak is in the inlet manifold . rich if its a boost leak in a cooler pipe.

Did it always do it@

You should really take it somewhere and run it on a Dyno to check it out.

You have the stock bov's but are they actually functioning correctly and plumbed back? If they aren't that is probably your issue.

Run it on the dyno or do a smoke test to find your leaks after checking the BOVs. It could be poorly tuned also contributing with the leak resulting in the car stalling.

Thanks for the help guys, the car previously made 400rwkw then has been put into storage for a while and there are now a few issues to sort out. What vac lines are under the plenum that could have perished or might be leaking???

well a smoke test is the best way to get to find a vacuum leak, but it requires specialist equipment. Easiest thing to do is to give it to someone who does this all the time unless you are familiar, there are billions of pipes and they won't be standard on your setup

As far as finding it yourself, I'd start with the main intercooler pipes in the engine bay and under the front bar, they are by far the most likely. They check the BOV return lines wherever they plumb back in. Then the boost controller lines and their attachment to the wastegate. Then however your AAC is linked up, that should cover most of the vacuum lines.

If you don't know what it is don't touch it? Got a workshop around that is experienced with Skylines that can help you out? Smoke test and getting the vehicle on a hoist will help significantly.

I'd still put money on it being the BOVs or a combination of BOVs being not plumbed back, broken and the ECU tune being rich to begin with.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
