had my car for a week now, it stalled twice on the way home (350km's), only at idle in traffic, did this today fixed it good.

nice idle now, but i turned it up a little to 700, rather than the factory 650.

yes the hoses are on there pretty hard, dont be scared, all the pipes they push onto are metal and pretty strong, get a large screw driver behind the edge to help push and give it a twist to break the seal a little, but dont jam a screw driver under the hose.

managed to get it cleaned but had a hard time gettting the screw off from the aac.. there is a black rubber ring which i broke it when taking the screw out.. car doesnt have anymore stalling at idle but everytime when i clutched in my revs seems to stop at 1000rpm crusing then drop to 800 when car reaches complete stationary..

hmmm, mines back and with avengeance.

done about 3500km's since last post. ive cleaned the AFM, wrapped coil packs, gapped plugs, checked for air leaks, reset the computer but with no change.

seems like it only does it sometimes, at first it was only after hrs of driving and everything under the bonnet was warm, but yesterday happened just after leaving my folks place early in the morning.

i think maybe the AAC only works somtimes? maybe its a bit faulty or on the way out so it only does its job occasionally?

makes it real hard to sit in traffic sometimes, managed to control the stall but requires some fancy foot work...which id rather not do in traffic :laugh:

Has anyone done this to an R34 N/A (RB25 NEO)? I've had a look at mine and it seems quite different to the R33 in the pics.

I have no issues with my car at the moment.

I'm just curious - because I wouldn't mind cleaning it, for the sake of keeping it maintained and I imagine it would also help with idling economy too.

X 2 , I have a slighty fast and a tad eratic idling issue and I want to clean this out first as the throttle body will be the next likely culprit and that looks like a PITA to do.

My main concerns are the three water hoses with what looks like a bleed screw on the top that connect to the AAC housing as I'm not sure whether the entire plenum is water heated or just the aac housing or in fact WTF this hose Christmas tree is all about :merli: , the rest of it seems pretty straight forward .

Can anyone please help explain the hose thingos .??

I have noted that the carby cleaner is quite explicit about NOT allowing it to come in contact with any sensors, stepper motors and the like so it's obviously pretty toxic--it's a Nulon one, so I'll be dismounting the sensor and cleaning it with contact cleaner separately.

I have a rb25det S1 in a 240 with q45 tb and freddy intake manifold. I messed with the tb screw a while back and just read that I wasnt suppose to mess with throttle body. Is it suppose to be closed?? Every time i mess with my idle I cant get it right. In order for me to crank the car I have to hit the gas pedal like a carb. When I disconnect the tb plug, adjust the idle and then plug the tb back up the car drop idle. can I adjust the idle with the car warmed up?? I cleaned out the aav like 6 months ago. How often does it need to be done??

Ok this may sounds strange ..but I decided to give this DIY a go myself on a 1998 R34 GT-T with about 65k on the odo as I have some slight idle hunting issues when clutching in at the lights etc

So I removed the 4 bolts (slightly different to R33) and loosened the hoses a bit ..but the hoses were really stuck on and so I though I'd just take a look inside the AAC housing to check its condition before I remove all the hoses etc and whaddya know ...

THE INSIDE LOOKS BRAND NEW. I am serious, there's not a TRACE of carbon buildup. All the walls look new and shiny and even the spring is shiny and looks brand new. No trace of dirt/carbon buildup ANYWHERE whatsoever.

Hm, what gives? Has anyone else cleaned the AAC valve/housing on their R34 GTT and found the same ?

hey i found that sometimes even if it looks clean give it a spray and some buildup will come out, worth a try .

how many km on yours ?

what happens if you remove the aac valve and adjust the idle with the tb.. Freind of mine with a ca18 removed his b/c his custom intake manifold was fitted for one? cause me personally, I hate the aac valve

65000 or thereabouts .. you don't get it, there is NO dirt in there. The pain of ripping those 4 hoses out to 'clean' something that is practically new inside is not worth it. The brass looks like brass and is shiny. The walls are still alloi colour and shiny/brand new (much cleaner and shinier than on the outside). No carbon deposits what-so-ever.

i found with mine was pretty clean but once you spray inside little holes and move the spring that's where i found most build up was.

how many rpm on idle?

did you check your afm ?

there was a post on someone fixing up afms by soldering connection, this might be the case also.

mine had a bit of issue with idle and i found by doing these steps it fixed now

I just couldnt justify screwing around with all the hoses (4 of them on the GTT) as they seemed very hard to get off after seeing how clean the inside was ..literally brand new or atleast looked that way. is your a GTT or v35?

my AFM wiring harness seems solid .. no loose wires. I'm gonna get a nissan consult cable (ecutalk.com) and check all the sensors using consult programs to make sure AFM voltage is ok etc.

RPM sits at 850-900 on idle ..no hunting, but when clutching in at lights, moving steering wheel when stationary it does hunt a bit (3-5 seconds)

OK, I cleaned the AAC valve on my 98 R34GT-t (79000ks) not (after taking it off) that it appeared to need cleaning, reasembled the thing, took it for a drive to get everything warmed up, unpluged the sensor, set the idle to 650rpm gave the engine a couple of mild revs waited for it to settle, pluged the sensor back in WAP back up to 800rpm WTF is it with this fricken thing.

I've reset the idle with the sensor pluged in but cant get better than 750rpm with the adjuster near closed.

I'm obviously missing something.

Any ideas anyone ?

Im having a similar problem but I messed with my q45 throttle body. And now I cant get my idle right or my tps. Thats what I get for messing with it. It was fine before. and this procedure isnt doing me any good......

ok im gona giv this ago on my r33 tomorow....now im abit worried about the screw thing....if i undo the idle screw to clean it, how do i no how much to tighten it to adjust the revs properly?

im worried that i might stuff up the revs and wont be able to correct it again

from wot i understood, u can adjust the revs of the car from that screw while its running??

any info would be a great help !!

Like a few people said it may look clean but it still has build up.. if you really wanted to fix it you would be trying everything you read and not making assumptions on what it is.

Just finished this... cleaned my R32 RB20DET, 95K on the clock real easy to get to 4 bolts at the back of the plenum lol my was full of carbon lol cleaned it all out got lucky too took the screw out cleaned it all up and put it back roughy were it was sitting b4 and now NO more stalling at lights and the idle sits dead on 750 now instead of jumping around 500 to 850 and only took about half an hour lol would also advise to cleaning the plenum were the aac valve bolts onto that was full of carbon too just used the cotten buds with carby cleaner on that but yeah great write up :cool:

    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard 
    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
    • So my car is finally back from paint! This took an absolutely insane amount of work and should get it's own build thread - but I didn't build it. It was completed by Troy @ https://scalekustoms.com.au/ I originally bought the AOSHIMA URAS Type R kit while I was in Japan, it's supposed to look like this when assembled: Now, I thought that was cool enough until I opened the box with Dismay, as there's no way I could possibly have completed it. The thing is 1/24 and has details down to the steering wheel horn button, which is a 2mm diameter sticker. I originally wondered if someone could make it at all, as is - But then things got a little carried away. It's worth noting that the model does not have an openable bonne, let alone engine bay, OR an openable boot. - Troy has worked wonders with 3D printer and presumably better eyes than I will ever have. My photos suck, so I will post up some of his in-progress ones he sent to me during the way. Unsuprisingly, he is very detailed. A lot of these are out of order. But he: 1) Made a LS engine and an engine bay appear out of thin air 2) Made the bonnet removable 3) Printed the rims I will buy in the future (or any rim you want) 4) Printed and added the wing that is going on 5) Tinted my back windows as this is what my car has IRL (privacy glass) 6) Added a licence plate. 7) Somehow did the interior 8) 3D Printed my actual seats 9) Made the exhaust under the car connect even though this is likely invisible. 10) Created a boot with my fking battery box, power steering reservoir, subwoofer and toolboxes back there. To say it's insane is an understatement. And I f**ked it all up because when I was re-mounting the wing (it broke in transit) I spilled glue everywhere and ripped paint up and Gregged the rear half of the car. Which about makes sense. Also, this arrived on the same day. Quite the change from: I spent 16 hours per day over the next 3 days pre-christmas putting the interior back together, mounting lip, fixing various bodykit problems with window mouldings, etc. and servicing, rebuilding my 370z brakes to go on the car 'soon', messing with heights to check clearances for new wheels, etc. I also had a foray into mounting wiper-mounted washer jets which was an absolute disaster. The bodyshop has welded (and painted) over the stock jet locations for reasons unknown to everybody (i.e they forgot) I also wanted to wire in the oil pressure sensor on Christmas Eve which was a BAD IDEA. You do not know terror like pulling your ECU apart, pinning in half-fitting pins that aren't the right ones, but trying anyway because it's Christmas eve, putting your ECU back together and having a no-start condition with a fuel pump not priming. Then you undo all your work and the fuel pump still doesn't prime. So after all that terror and horror and pain and tedious disassembly, the issue was the relay in the boot which seems to have died/stuck when I was turning the car off and on about 700 times testing shitty washer jets. I also re-wired the fuel pump power plug which fell apart in my hands. I am very happy I had 3 extra pre-made ones from a few posts/last Christmas's breakdown. https://bluewireautomotive.com/products/10-x-pcm-ecm-ecu-terminals I have put an order for these in, so I can actually add the pins to the ECU properly. The commodore ECU does not have the pins for Oil Pressure via ODB2. However the ECU can support it if you create the pins and wire them in. So for round two, and somehow attempting to route that into the engine bay through my impossible engine bay grommet is a fight for another day. It's 40C in Melbourne tomorrow, I am half tempted to drive the car with the aircon on to deliver presents to my partner's family and see if it helps with the overheating-on-40C-days-in-traffic-with-aircon-on-only issue that the vents were intended to solve. Do I feel lucky?
    • Yes, while being... strictly unnecessary. Tuning is a bit like quantum physics. You don't need to understand what Schroedinger's equation actually means. You just need to run the computation and accept the answers. With tuning, you just push page up/down until the exhaust tells you that you've got the fuel right. The VE can stay hidden behind the curtain like the Wizard of Oz and you'll never need to know what he looked like.
    • The second part yes, the first part about easy VE calculation is something I've seen a few people talk about online.
