Hi, I'm fairly new to posting, have searched the forums for answers but get nothing specific so sorry if you have heard it all before:-

Got a stock R33 (Auto) Series1, have a 3" Exhaust from cat back, blow off valve and air pod. When I am at low revs around the street I accelerate, then let my foot off.....it then drops revs to about 500 and almost stalls, or it has even stalled once or twice which is not good. Any ideas? I tried putting a stronger earth for the fuel pump but no change.

Also driving at about 60km, the car sort or drops down then picks up then drops down, kinda like changing gears, but my foot isn't on the accelerator very much.

Hmmmm............

sounds like you might have a head gasket or dropped cylinder problem....get it pressure tested at a mechanics (in your capital city) and see what they say

another thing it could be is the air/fuel mix. If the Air Control Filter (which is electronically controlled) is acting up and not closing properly you will be getting air intake when your not supposed to and causing a drop in revs.....

also check the Oxygen sensor

I have this problem too.

You have to do 2 things to reduce the effects of this problem.

1) Clean the throttle body

2) Raise the idle RPM

Note that it doesn't get rid of it entirely. However the car becomes very much less prone for a stall after acceleration.

I have also heard replacing the AFM will also help.

      Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.

      The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
