what? the r33's? if you say so..........

on my r32 the doesnt lock till the key comes out.

steve

My R32 locks with the key in it, but it does have to be in the off position.

When you first shove the key in it how do you unlock the steering wheel?

I am required to turn it to the acc. positon with a little wiggle of the steering wheel. I would think if locked once they key is slid out then it must also unlock by simply sliding the key in.

Thanks guys, nah, i just thought someone went happy modding on me.

I suggested that cutting the fuel pump is not a good idea. especially at 9k rpm.

Motors have been killed by a fuel pump failing at wot. Cutting the ignition would be a better idea.

Yeah that was exactly the point I was raising. I don't think cutting the fuel is the best way to stop an engine running at 9000rpm. Don't be a custo, just turn it a little way, its not hard to feel the first click in the off position with no steering lock. Interesting topic though, seems a few people have had similar issues.

One time a padock basher brumby I had, got throttle stuck open, but then went one better, kept going once key was off as it was running unleaded fuel (when it shouldnt have been) and the little thrash had it pre-igniting. so ignition off, then it kept going, so i slammed it into 4th and pulled the hand brake on, it tried for a little then died....

To update:

The problem remains and this time i paid more attention and it doesnt feel like the throttle gets "stuck", but it feels like it actually accelerates and opens up. I mean it feels like the throttle just opens up itself. Both times it happened I was going pretty slow and accelerating in second gear at very pretty low revs.

I spent yesterday making sure there were no cables, wires etc near the throttle cable and accel pedal.

The whole cable and throttle spring/mechanism etc feels excellent - no sticking or anything.

Also had a look inside the throttle body at the butterfly valve thing and it seems to move fine and not be loose or sticky. Lubed up the cable so it couldnt stick and did everything I could to basically make sure the cable or throttle mechanism had nothing around it to interfer.

Then, after driving the car around for over 2 hours, it happened again. Was in second gear and was starting off slowly... revving maybe 2000rpm in second gear and accelerating slowly - then it felt like it was accelerating harder and i took my foot off the pedal and it kept accelerating, took it out of gear - revs shot up - i killed the ignition, stopped, looked under the hood at the cable and it was free and restarted and the car was fine.

I have the older rb20det NICS type and thing think it has something to do with the idle mechanism... i have no idea how it works but i figure something has to give the car throttle when your not touching the pedal so that it idles... and maybe this opens up or gets loose or something.

In this post -> post http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=124145

someone talks about a faulty aac valve (?) and a valve UNDERNEATH the inlet plenum/manifold that adds air according to coolant temp based on maps in your ecu.. (?)

I'm really just taking a stab in the dark - please help!! I'm really stuck with what to do.

or just takle it somewhere to get it checked :)

perhaps the return spring(s) are broken. both on the pedal and on the throttle body.

also the tps has a spring too. it would be hard to put it on backwards though

The AAC at maximum open will only hold your revs at around 1600....not 9000. If the throttle is shut...the car cannot rev. Your problem must be throttle related. it is physically impossible to increase the revs that much but not allow any more air to enter, the engine would choke and die.

Does the accelerator pedal return to it's normal position when this happens?

Do you have any kind of cruise control fitted to your vehicle?

no cruise control

and i think the pedal felt like it was stationary... To be honest it all happened so fast that i could be wrong - the pedal might have moved... i AM sure that it wasnt stuck. And i AM sure that when I stopped the car (like 1 second after it happened) the pedal and the throttle mechanism were both in the usual position and not caught/stuck or in an unusual position.

what about the cold idle valve?

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
