Hey guys I've had a problem with my r33 for a while now, If the engine gets hot  (on a cold day this wont happen unless the car is thrashed) it will stuggle to idle most of the time resulting in it stalling when not under load but if I put the ac on it will idle at the normal range for about a minute then go back to stalling

Edit: If i change down gears slowly it will not stall when i stop, But if i suddenly press the clutch or put it in netural whilw stopping it will stall also the car does not have an afm

 Yeah mate it's got a stinger ECU but I don't think that's the problem because the cars had this setup since I've owned it and it started having this issue about 6 Months in to owning it (also had a tune from a well respected tuner in my area since which did not fix the problem)

I had an issue like this on my rb26 was iacv valve was right plugged up and caused the engine to stall when turning, lights on, a/c on etc. I don't know about your rb25 but could be the case if it idles fine when cold. also theres a screw on rb26 iacv that you can adjust I don't know about your setup but have you tried turning up the idle a bit in someway either through ecu or manually? what does the car idle at on a cold day when warmed up?

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
