Right then, for the first time in 2 and a half years my car is doing some interesting things.

1. When idling if i put the clutch in and put it in gear, leave my foot on the clutch, the revs increase by like, 300rpm. Then when i take it out of gear but still leave my foot on the clutch, it returns to normal.?????????Doesn't happen all the time though.

2. The worse of the two. While travelling down Orrong? road yesterday, while acceleration the revs dropped to 600 (idling). Then after about a 2 sec delay it came back up to the rpm i'd expect to do at 80kmh. ?????? It did it about 4-5 time in the space of about 10mins. I filled the tank up after work on the way home and it didn't do it again. What the?????????

Any suggestions?

how low was your fuel tank??

May have some non fuel in it - i had this problem with water in fuel in a suburu my father in law owned.

We put a cup of metho in the tank, filled the car with fuel and then we could run it dry . the metho apparently stops the fuel and water seperating - we then ran it out completely never had the problem again.

What mods do you have? the revs picking up at idle sound like they may be the NVCS kicking in. If your idle isnt stable, it 'may' activate it once the neutral switch has been deactivated.

Second problem could have been fuel surging due to not enough in the tank.

More info would be good, mods, settings etc.

NVCS is the system nissan use that advances timing on the intake between 1050 and 4500rpm. If the revs at idle get near 1050, and the car is in gear, the NVCS will activate, advancing the timing and the revs will go up.

To test if this is the problem, just unplug the NVCS and put the car in gear. The NVCS plug is front drivers side of the head and has a brown plug. Or, you could just get someone else to put it in gear while you listed with the hood up - there will be an audible click noise when the NVCS activates.

For only a cat back it shouldnt cause dramas. 1/8 of a tank shouldnt cause dramas either with stock fuel pump.

Oh dear, the problem just got worse. Now when i come to a stop at the light and stuff the car just slowly drops revs and cuts out. It will happen 3 out of 5 times. When the car is stationary the rpm needle is constantly searching on the dial, if that makes sense.;) What the **** is wrong with my car? It seems to me like a computer issue. Like one of the senses has shat it's self and the computer is therefor going ?????? what the?.

Any ideas?

It could be your AAC - that is your idle control solenoid at the back of the plenum. It has a brown plug hanging off it. Check the plug is properly in place, try removing the plug and cleaning the electrical contact with brake cleaner or electrical contact cleaner.

Next step is to remove it and give it a good clean. Three bolts, pretty easy. You will also need to disconnect the purple plug to do this, its the AC idle solenoid. Once removed, give it a bath in brake cleaner.

Another thing to try is keep your ac switched on, as this uses an additional solenoid to bleed extra air into the plenum - may keep you out of trouble for the while. If it helps you will need to keep the aircon turned down to coldest setting so it is on most of the time (climate control will cycle on/off to maintain the set temp).

Another thing that is vital is to check ALL your vacuum hoses, intercooler pipes etc as well. Most skylines are old and the hoses tend to perish and crack.

Hope it helps. Sorry but I am somewhat taking stabs in the dark. Most fault finding is a process of elimination.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
