okk wats happend is my car is choking alot mainly around 3000-4500rpm range... not sure wat is the problem... and now ive noticed my idle is really bad.. sumtimes sits at 500rpm..

with the idle i went over a speed bump twice and the revs went so low it just turned off... it didnt seem like a stall as nothing jabbed or anything, i jus saw my hicas/battery/oil light turn on and the car turned off..

ive gone thru the forums and hav asssumed (tell me if im right) the choking can be caused by faulty coilpacks?.. and the idling cud be becuz of my aftermarket bov? which infact my car is running heaps rich atm (300km full tank normal driving) and alot of black smoke is coming out of my exhaust.

can anyone tell me wat to do to fix these or was i right already? car is series 2 '96 skyline

thanksss

I think you answered your own question dude.If your bov has a bolt to adjust the spring preload wind it in a few threads and go for a drive.Never know it may fix it.

ive narrowed it down to that it only happens in cold weather (usually only happens at night)...

I just saw you have a PFC,mine sucks balls at night sometimes to but after a recent tune it is so much better.Go into the Idle menu and write down what setting you have.But yer fiddle with those settings and see if it improves.

      My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.

      I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
