Its the cold start idle up valve. When you are starting the car the ecu opens up the valve to allow more air to bypass the throttle body and straight into the plenum and giving the motor a boost of air to help it start.

If you are usening an after market ecu then you may not use it.

RedDrifter was spot on.

You will probably need to use it, it only needs a +12V to operate.

Unless you are using a different throttle body which has a stepper motor ie XF, then an aftermarket ECU may be able to to control this and you can remove the Nissan idle valve.

It's not ecu controlled, it's a got a thermal thingy for opening up on cold start.

I removed it on my rb20 after one of the pipes to it split. All it does is open up when the car is cold and progressively close as it heats up. Mine would stall when returning to idle during the first 3 minutes of running with the stock ecu, then no probs after that.

      City of Casey - This is obscene!

      Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.

      Wiring high beams in IC7 for R32 GTR

      By BourneToLive · Posted

      Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know.

      RB30DET timing belt tensioner relocation query

      By zigrb30 · Posted

      G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.

      Smoothline aka Matthew stone

      By DanielStone · Posted

      Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
