Revs dropping when stopping

Hi all, I’m new here and new to skylines in general. I just got an R33 GTS-T RB25DET.

The previous owner only had it for about a year and wasn’t very mechanically minded and couldn’t tell me much of what was done to it by the owner before him. Long story short I’m having an issue with the revs dropping when I’m coming to a stop with the clutch in. Neutral or in gear makes no difference. The revs slowly drop as per normal but 1/4 times they just go all the way to zero and it stalls. The car runs perfectly fine otherwise. This leads me to believe it’s a sensor issue. I have taken the air box out and cleaned the filter (looks pretty clean and new anyway) and I have sprayed about half a can of cleaner through the AFM. This made the car a bit smoother in the lower gears, but the stalling is persistent. I’ve read many things here before posting this, I’m really at a loss as to what to do. Reset the ECU? Check and clean more sensors? I don’t know.

 

as far as I am aware the mods done are:

- 3” straight through turbo back exhaust

- 14psi boost

- A front mounted intercooler has been fitted

- turbo timer

 

any help is appreciated, thanks.

Just an update for anyone else who might have a similar issue. The BOV was deleted and all the lines clamped. I replaced it with a stock intake pipe to the turbo with recirculating BOV and reverted as much of these dodgy amateur cable tie mods as I could back to their original stock parts and it runs ultra smooth with no issues now :)

Im even getting an extra 100km per tank on average, for a total of about 380km per full tank!

I never ended up cleaning the IACV, it’s on my to do list though. Cheers.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
