Idle problem after motor build
Well, I had a TT installed (Unichip), dropped my compression to 8.6:1, and installed aggressive cams.
My motor was much different then stock. So, this may fix your problem, it may not. Whats your compression now?

if you artificially hold the idle at ~900-1000 does it still stumble/stall? if not, just reset your idle 
edit:
(i had my idle reset to 1000 after my engine build, but then i had a bit of head work and pretty aggressive cams put on along with lowering the compression / lw flywheel, etc...)

How ironic, I just started having the same idle problem while in rush hour traffic!
My engine isn't built but I'm running TTs. I've been told by GRD it's probably an IC hose disconnection but I couldn't see anything so I'm having it checked by a local tuner.

Ok we have a new problem, Nissan just called me back and said that there is NO oil pressure at idle and thats why it wont idle. They dont know what would cause that, so now im out of ideas...Should i tell them to just raise the idle? would that fix the problem?
I had my idle raised via Technosquare reflash to 1000 rpms due to cams and head work. If you have low oil pressure at low rpms, that is normal. What is the oli pressure if they hold it at 1K rpms?
