Hi everyone

I got my new car yesterday and i noticed a couple of times when idling it will just start adling up and down without anything being touched after a while and sometimes it will sit at around 800rpm steadily and then sometimes around 5/600. Is something wrong? or do they just have dodgy idle sensors or something cause my last 1996 series 2 gts-t didnt do it but this is a 1995 gts-t

Usually, a problem in the TPS is a constant high (around 1500 - 2000 rpm) idle. Usually caused by the sensor getting out of alignment and not sending the "throttle closed" signal to the ECU.

Variable idle is usually caused by a dirty / sticking AAC valve. That's the little cylinder on the back of the plenum chamber. It can be removed, disassembled and cleaned out with a bit of Car-B-Clean, then re-assembled and re-fitted without too much drama.

could be a vacume leak,

blind elk, thats true however my tps was out of wack in the other direction, what would happen, is it would idle fine, but you woul pull up to a stop sign, dip the clutch and the idle would **** around for a few seconds, worth checking, also the

and low speed driving was a bitch, car runs like crap, i dont think it will see 100% throttle either when you nail it

if your going to adjust idle , disconnect the brown plug on the solinoid behind it when your finished, reconnect it

Just had my 33 serviced not even a month ago, and after 3 mnths of pretty crappy idling, apparently a vacuum leak near idle starter motor was fixed, afm cleaned, tps adjusted, and timing reset.

Just last week it started ranging again from like 200-1200 rpm up and down as if i was stepping on and off the accelerator...

I have a non-oil blitz pod filter, and a blitz 3inch exhaust.

Any ideas on what else could be causing it in my particular case would be appreciated.

Cheers

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
