Hey,

wondering if anyone can be of help.

I have a r33 sII and it keeps stalling. What happends is that sometimes it has real trouble idoling. The best way i can simulate the staling is when i'm in neutral and idoling, if i rev the car up to 1 1/2 to 2G's. then take my foot off, it drops down to way below 500revs, then it trys and corrects it, then goes to high and then drops down again.

Most time it corrects itself, but sometimes when i have the stereo and climate control on it screws up and stalls.

And last night, with the stereo on and climate, when i pushed my foot on the clutch for about 2 -3 secs, it stalled on me, i was doing about 60 around a corner and the power assited steering and brakes went bye bye.

So if its just the car is idoling to low, or if it sounds worse, could some1 tell me what i could do?

If i need to change my idol point, then some info on that would be great.

Cheers

Qunto

There have been lots of posts on this but I don't think there's been any single answer to the problem.

I know some people have had their O2 sensor replaced & that's helped, while others have done something with the fuel pump.

My car also stalls, or nearly does, sometimes when I'm taking of ... when it's idling & I first push the accelerator it dies a bit before it revs, which is very annoying.

For what it's worth, the only thing that stopped it happening for me was getting the car serviced & tuned by someone who knows Skylines (in my case, Dr Drift).

Good luck.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
