Hi all,

for the last 3-4 weeks I have noticed the funny revs everytime I put the gear to neutral.

it only happened when the turbo has kicked in.

It would go from 5 th gear at 2800rpm to (put in neutral) down to 300 and up to the normal 800-1000rpm. :D

I have changed the ACC but it did nothing....

Also my mate's R32 gtst auto always cutout when the engine is hot. Sometimes can't start for 10 minutes. bloody scary to drive when it decided to die in the middle of a busy intersection.

took both car to the mechanic and they have no idea what is wrong with the car.

maybe you guys know....

Please help....

Much appreciated.

P.S I need a service manual for the R32 gtst.

if anyone have a copy please pass one on to me.... :D

Your problem sounds like its caused by the blow off valve. I had the same problem and replaced the turbosmart atmo venting bov with the standard plumb-back and problem solved...

its caused by the already metered air being vented to the atmosphere, but the fuel still being fed in to go with that air, hence causing it to run really rich when you put it into neutral, so basically whats happening is your engine is overfuelling to the point where it bogs down, and sometimes will even stall, 'coz it floods with fuel.

My suggestion: Get a recirculating BOV.... better for the car, and doesn't make the wanky PSSSSSSSSSSSSSHT sound :P

Yeah, I had the exact same problem. My R31 coupe came over with no BOV and if I was on boost and just dipped the clutch the revs would drop right down and the warning lights would start flashing and sometimes stall.

I installed a bosch plumb back BOV and the problem was cured instantly.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
