Hi so my problmes are. I tried to fix my idle, well there was no issues, car idled at 650 rpm, but when i tried to do the timing and set it as per manul, with the TP off the idle was at 1200 rpm. so i cranked the acc in as far as it would go and only managed to get it down to 900 rpm, and no more. I did the computer screw aswell and nothing, the idle woudl not increase or decrease any more then 650, i don't want it lower i just want to make sure it's ok.

So i followed the guide

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...=110431&hl=

And did the idle reset, and nothing, with the TP off and the ACC all the way in it would not go lower then 900 rpm, and that is all the way in. The manual from nissan states that the idle needs to be at 650 with the TP off.

Once i connected the TP the idle would drop down to 650 and that's it.

The other guide however says to disconnec the AAC valve, so whichone is it

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...=110434&hl=

The whole reason i wan tto do this, is to set my timing properly, and i can't set it at 650 rpm with the TP off as it does not allow me to do so.

HELP i'm going insane. I am going to clean the AAC today and cheack for vacume leaks to make sure it's all good.

I have heard that testing for vacume leaks is easy if you get some break cleaner with the small tube squirt extension and squirt arround all the pipes and manifold, if the rpm go up, then there is a leak.

Can somone give me a pointer as to how else do i check for leaks, exhaust and intake, i can't hear anything, but my fuel consumption is about 350 km in town for 50 liters and about 500kms on the higway.

BTW the car has a full 3" exhauts and cat and dump, FMIC, HKS POD, .8mm plugs, timming at 15deg at 900 rpm, boost at 8psi.

SO what is up??????

On the throttle body there is a small allen head screw which adjusts the throttle plate position. It should not ever need adjusting and should have a coating of red or yellow paint on it. Has it been tampered with??

nah the TP has not been tampered with. I simply need to know which guide is correct. The one where you disconnect the AAC valve to set the idle or the one where you tunr off the TP to reste the idle?????

I rang nissan, but they are dickheads here in Tas, BLODY DJ, should be called DICK HEADS.

The TP is set as it should be 0.4V at idle

well last night i pulled the AAC valve out,a nd gave it a good clean. She was preaty dirty.

Put it all back in, tested the valves all close and open ect.

AND still no good, i had a look at the AAC valve and if all the valves are shit, there is always a small amoutn of air getting through.

So i puged it all back up, and nothing still can't get below 900 rpm as oper guide, so to check if there is a vac leak, i turned the AAC valve off and the car stalls. or dies in the ass.

I am goignt o use good old break cleaner to run arround all my piping to see what is goign on, but i don't think i have any leaks, will see.

ANY MORE ADVICE AS TO WHAT TO TRY?????????

""""""It could also be a vacuum leak.

If your idle screw is completely closed, there is definatly somewhere else that air is entering into the inlet manifold.

As was said above, my bet would be on the cold start idle control, or a vac leak, or for some reason a malfunctioning AAC assembly, where it is sitting open far too much when idling. Try disconnecting the power to the AAC assembly, that should close it and give you an idea of where the leak is comming from.

The car should stall if the AAC valve is faulty and opening too much, when you unplug it.

If that doesn't work, try pinching the bottom hose that runs past the AAC on its way to the cold start, if the idle drops when you pinch the hose = less air = stall, then thats your problem.

If that still doesn't work, check all your lines for tears or holes. Check all your gaskets on the inlet manifold, and check your throttle plate is properly closing."""""

From a Prevoius post. Ok so my cars stalls with the AAC valve disconnected, so what part is Faulty, i checked for operation and it definatly moves up and down with voltage ect. what parts do i need to replace to make this work??????

If you disconnect the TPS, then the ECU doesn't hacve a "throttle closed" signal, and idles up to match the reading it is getting from the AFM.

If you leave the AAC valve connected, then the ECU is going to continually adjust the AAC to maintain idle stability.

So, it makes sense to disconnect the AAC valve before you make any adjustments to it.

Yeah on the RB20/26/30 the above is true.

However disconnecting the TPS (MAKE SURE YOU DISCONNECT THE THROTTLE SENSOR NOT THROTTLE SWITCH) on the RB25 fixes the AAC valve at a fixed duty cycle (not sure exact % Nissan don't state it) which is where the duty should be at required idle setting.

I've done numerous RB25 systems and never had trouble, weird...

Check to make sure you don't have a faulty power steer switch/sensor or neutral switch/sensor, make sure the AC and all loads are off or else the system may substitute a higher duty cycle on the AAC solonoid.

Forgot to mention make sure the timing is correct or else it will generate extra torque and it will rev higher.

and hence the problwm, how do i set the timing, if the rpm does not sit at 650 rpm with the TP off as per maunal to do timing???

I'm preaty sure i have solved it anyway, it's the cold start celenoid that is letting air through to rise the rpm.

yeah, if you remove the air regulator while its hot, it should be closed, if you look through the hole.

my air reg is f**ked. closed all the time. does not start easily in the mornings. have to help it with a few prods of the accelerator. still idles fine though.

If you undo the 4 screws holding it together, you can clean and lube the spring assembly in it and it will be good as new.

Just be careful of the gasket when you split the two halves once the screws are removed.

Once you have cleaned it and re-assembled, put it in the freezer for 5 mins and make sure you can see through the hole, just to check its working properly.

    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally. 
    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
