Hey people,

I am new to this. So please bear with me. I just recently bought my baby and she has now got a mind of her own.

Its a GTST S2. When I start it, she goes ok but when I stop at lights and idiling, it revs up and down by itself. Can anyone give me an idea of what this could be. Hopefully, its nothing major.

Cheers

Nah. Brisbane.

how to care for an rb motor...hmmm haha... DONT thrash it, always check oil and water(if either of these gets low for a long period, temps go up, motor goes bye bye) and if ur guna keep it factory, dnt do burnouts... the diffs and uni joint dnt last too long

i had this problem when i had a leak in my radiator hose due to having a thermofan with a thermostat put in the top of the hose at the top of the radiator. air in the system is baaaaaddd

Yeh RB engines and idling its a pain. Mine has a mind of its own. I was driving today everything was fine idling good and the im at the lights and my idle decides to go from normal to 1,000rpm. This happens at all the traffic lights all the way to my girlfreinds house. Then when i drive to the restaurant for a little while it drives fine then it starts to idle at the same place at every traffic light. OK park the car go have dinner at a restaurant come back drive it all is ok idling at normal speed?? what da?? it use to do it before but only for a little while then id rev it and it would go back down now it wont go down if i did it. I did the ecu reset all was good till today. tps is fine. before i go cleaning aav and air flow metre anything else u guys think it could be. its just strange as it comes and goes. i might do the ecu reset again think this will help???

      Pillar gauges

      By MBS206 路 Posted

      See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars

      bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr 路 Posted

      Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 馃檪  I know what it looks like

      By GTSBoy 路 Posted

      Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
