In fact with a bit of squeezing with long nose pliers its possible to shut of all possible leaks from the other air chamber feeds. On the front side (does that make sense) you have two feeds to the blow off valves and the carbon canister. On the rear side there is a single vacuum line that feeds the brake booster.

In my case blocking all these off made no difference to the idle speed. So my problem is not an air bypass system issue. However, I only replaced the two throttle body gaskets but not the intake manifold gasket as that would have involved removing the associated water cooling components as well. That’s the only other place that I could imagine there may be an air bypass style leak occurring.

I have an aftermarket fuel regulator on the car which I no nothing about. In fact I’m not sure what impact that could have on idle speed. Does any one know?

Other than that I might flick the air flow meters for a spare set just to see if that makes a difference ( although the consult shows it shouldn’t :kiss:

so does this only affect R32 GTR? My R33 GTR also idles about 1100 RPM. It has only done this since getting it home and servicing it. It didn't originally do i when i first picked the car up - it sat at 900 then. It has a common issue with RB26s.

according to the underbonnet destructions, its supposed to idle at 650rpm. i've yet to see one that does. anyone? bueller? bueller?

mine runs at 1000rpm, but as i only idle at traffic lights, and everything else works - why worry? i aint gonna spend $1000 or more to fix a fast idle.

and yes, all gaskets are sweet, no air leaks (i replaced every external gasket once she landed on our shores) - although i'd be reluctant to pour water on a warm manifold -max 5 mins after startup for that trick.

The R32 GTR’s are supposed to idle at 950rpm. If the AAC is working correctly this will be the lowest the factory EPROM will allow it to idle. The work shop manual states that to set idle correctly, the AAC solenoid should be unplugged (or disabled via consult) and the idle speed should be set via the AAC idle adjustment screw to 900rpm. I guess this ensures the AAC solenoid regulates idle at the EPROM determined 950rpm. Of course if there is an issue such as a vacuum leak and the idle is artificially held above 950rpm then the ECU has no control (via the AAC) to regulate the idle. . If you have a consult program you can observe the AAC percentage vary to hold the idle at 950 rpm. Of course this only occurs at idle and only if the TPS idle switch point activates and provides the idle flag to the ECU. Again the consult will show the idle flag activate, followed by the AAC valve working to hold 950 rpm.

Hi cowie165

I use NissanDataScan v1.5 which I purchased for $30, not sure about the free/demoware options. Although for only $30 you might aswell purchase the real thing.

hey guys, i have a R34 GTT, it was sitting on 900 rpms, now after i changed the spark plugs to platinum, its idleing at 1100rpm, may sound stupid but maybe its the spark plugs or coil packs? im new to the car scene so please dont blast.

I had a hunt at idle in my R32 GT-R. The highly technical solution was to adjust the screw on the front of the AAC valve, ie turn it clockwise to lower the idle speed, turn it anti clockwise to raise it. The hunt went away & it now idles at the setting the ECU tells it to. Which is about 1100rpm for a power FC.

Basically the valve does two things: Allows more air in for a cold idle. Controls the air (hence the idle speed when the engine is warm. It is buried under the inlet manifold next to cylinder 4 or thereabouts.

If the motor is hunting it is usually that it is getting too much air for the desired idle speed as programmed into the ECU.

Cant you just adjust the idling? Thats what I saw a mechanic did to mine (adjust it down to 950) but when I brought it to the tuner, he put it back up to 1100. Dont know why. I didnt have any problem with the car when I was at 950 too.

hmm....i alrady check my AAC is working ok, already closed the vacuums of the AAC and the air regulator, so its not there, i am thinking it could be the timing? because i remember before i removed my CAS, after installing i didn't use a timing light, and also my injector 6 is leaking, could be the cause?

    • If it's magnetic what is stopping you from using a magnet on a thin wire from fishing it out?
    • Those 2 solenoids in that assembly I mention, are the PWM solenoids for torque converter lock-up clutch & EPC (line pressure control) ~ when most folks hear of 'solenoid failure', the tendency is to think electrical failure...but fact of the matter is, especially wrt the EPC solenoid (which is moving/running all the time), you can have an electrically 'good' solenoid, that's absolutely broken/worn out mechanically inside...ie; valve plunger return spring rubbing against spring retainer plate, lowering preload pressure.. ...and the solenoid armature extension limit spring wafer with bad wear/broken off petals... ...and if there's ever been any metal flying about, damage to the valve plunger end itself... ...the stuff one never really sees, unless you go the whole 10yards trying to answer the question "why is my line pressure screwy, but TCU isn't flagging any EPC solenoid fault?"...and carefully dissect the solenoid. Worst (and most probable) scenario is when the plate spring petals break off, they get held by the magnetic flux, get mashed up by the armature into little bits, which end up in the space between the armature & shading core bore, and things get stuck or randomly jam up, and your line pressure goes flat and doesn't change...and the TCU never sees it, as it doesn't actively monitor LP... ..then it gets into insidious land, if you end up with lower than expected line pressure...lets say high clutch..and the lower pressure causes it to slip ~ when I say 'slip', think say 2000rpm on the drive plates, and 1800rpm on the driven plates, because the slip is making them under-rotate by 200rpm ; you get all the usual nasties like heat and band/clutch wear, but even if it's only 20rpm slip the same thing happens...and... you'll hardly ever pick this up driving the thing with the torque converter active as it effectively masks these sorts of slippages that are line pressure related ...(the newer TCUs can detect clutch slip rate)...just  FYI as it were...
